Glee Prom and Red Carpet Dresses

For High Schoolers it's prom season. I didn't go to prom but i did live vicariously through the glee cast on last nights episode. I also love formal attire, so i have been hard at work on polyvore the last few days recreating formal attire from various things.

Here is what i have been up to.

Playing Catch Up

I am so sorry for neglecting Welcome to My Closet. I can't believe its been nearly a month since I have posted anything.

There is less than 100 days until i can buy clothes, and it couldn't come soon enough. I am so tired of the clothes I have. The crazy thing is that there are still so many clothes i haven't worn since this blog started.

I guess that means that i will have lots of clothes for a clothing exchange or a garage sale.

I have been trying to be better at documenting my outfits, but i haven't been very successful.

Nonetheless, here are some of the outfits I managed to capture this past week.

Easter Outfit

School Outfit: Wednesday

School Outfit: Thursday

I wore this sweater shirt combination with two different bottoms on Friday.

First, i wore it with these shorts during the day.

Then at night i switched to these jeans.

I also realized that i have pictures of outfits from the past few months that were never posted on this blog. They were however posted on 500 days of Holly.

Let me share them with you.

February:

Spring Buys

Spring is one of my favorite seasons to buy clothes. You get to transition from pants to skirts, shorts, and dresses. You can finally ditch the heavy coats and sweatshirts and wear lightweight sweaters and jackets.

So here is what i would buy for spring from oldnavy and modcloth, if i could.
