After coming to the conclusion that I want to be happy with what I have, I took careful consideration of my large collection of clothing, (say that 10x fast) and realized I already had lots of good stuff to wear. I was just in a rut of how to style it.
That led me to look for new ways to style my current clothes, and I came up with a system! I'm going to share my secret of How to Put Together Stylish Mom Outfits with Clothes You Already Own.

As a work at home mom, I try really hard to not schlep around in my jammies all day. I always feel so much better and am more productive when I am dressed and ready. Something that inhibits that is feeling like I have nothing to wear. I have tons of clothes and as I searched through them, I realized I had so many cute pieces, I just needed new ways to style them. I found a trick for finding new outfit combinations using clothes I already own. And that trick is Pinterest!
How to Use Pinterest to Help you Style the Clothes that are Already in Your Closet
Look in your closet and pull out pieces that you like and make you feel good about yourself, but need new ways to style. Then go to Pinterest and put those pieces of clothing into the search bar.
Black Jeans
I have a pair of black distressed jeans that I love. I typed black jeans outfit into the search bar to find new outfit combinations.
The search will pull up combinations that you'd never even thought of. I found so many that I could do with clothes that I already had in my closet.
After I pulled up several styling ideas for black jean including these by hi sugarplum, I pulled some tops out of my closet and put these outfits together.

How to distress jeans- Distress jeans by cutting slits in the knees and cut the bottom hem off with fabric scissors, then wash them. When they came out of the dryer, they will be frayed and distressed perfectly.

Gray Pants
I searched gray pants, gray chinos, gray pants casual on Pinterest. The search results showed many ideas that weren't perfect matches for my pants, but still inspired me to chose new outfit combinations with clothes in my closet.
This outfit is with blue pants, but they are similar to my gray pants. I love how this is paired with a striped shirt. It gave me lots of inspiration!
I paired my gray pants with a navy striped shirt I already had, and chose of few other tops I wouldn't have thought of if I hadn't seen the photos on Pinterest.

Denim Vest
My mom sent me this darling denim vest that I have not worn yet because I didn't know how to style it. That is until I applied the Pinterest trick. I typed denim vest into the search bar.

Seeing distressed jeans and a white T made me realize how dang cute that would be styled with my kimono.
