A Mix of Old and New

 My husband and I have started renovations of our master bedroom and in the process of cleaning and moving items I discovered this fun snowflake hat that I didn't even know I owned.  Of course as soon as I put it on my hubby teased me and said "What, are you a snowflake now?"   He's so silly.

Today I have a mix of old and new items I purchased this season.  

Everything I have on is old except the burgundy shirt and booties.   The top I picked up at JCP because I needed to spend just a few more dollars so I could use my coupon.  It was on sale for $7.00.  I really like the color, the thin material and the loose drape.  It's a V-neck.  I was going to take pictures of it without the scarf and sweater, but it was just too darn cold.  

My scarf has been in my wardrobe forever.  The sweater I picked up at Zara a season or two ago.

I really like the shape of this sweater.  It is longer in the back and curves shorter in front.

My straight leg jeans are from Stitch Fix.  I learned from a reader of my blog to cuff the jeans to the inside if I want to shorten my pant legs to show off my booties.  That was such a good tip.  I love it when my readers give me valuable advice like that.  Whenever I cuffed my pants on the outside it made my legs look shorter and heaver.  But if the cuff is turned to the inside, it gives a nice, lean, finished look.

You're probably so tired of seeing me in hats and scarves, but unfortunately it's just too cold here in Wisconsin to live without them.  Plus, I just bought about three more new ones so be warned:  more hat and scarf posts are yet to come!

My booties are new this season, but I have shown them to you several times before.  I've gotten so many compliments on them.  I'm so glad I purchased them.  And I think ya'll must have have gone and purchased all the grey ones because they are completely out of this color on the DSW website.  However, they do have this shoe available in several other colors

You can really make some interesting discoveries when you spend some time digging through your closet and reorganizing.  The old items you discover can create a whole new look when mixed with some new pieces.
