I am finally getting around to writing this update post on my new series Caitlin's Closet. I know you all have been waiting on the edge of your seat. If you haven't read my original post, please go check it out to understand the context around this update.
I really didn't mean to put if off for so long. I was originally planning on doing an update post every 10 days or so. But, you know, life happens. And, I think it worked out for the best having the month summed up into one post.
It was a pretty cold and wet February here in Seattle. We had a few snow days, and very few nice days. Definitely sweater weather. Also, please note that I am not a model, and was really trying my best not to be awkward.
Gosh, I have had this skirt in my closet for 2 years! It was such a great find at Goodwill. I had avoided wearing it because I thought it made me look big. I recently got this belt and it really helped define my waist in this poofy skirt. Of course, I got a bunch of compliments on it, and am now kicking myself for never wearing it. The sweater is one of my all time favorites from Forever 21.

You'll notice I have a lot of clothes from my mom. She's lets me "shop" in her closet, and she also has fantastic taste. She's pretty much the best. I hardly ever wear that sweater, but why? It is so cozy!

This cashmere sweater was another amazing find at Goodwill. It was originally $88 at Nordstrom. I had been looking for a red-toned boot for quite a while, and recently bought these on sale from ModCloth.

Sometimes, your cozy socks are the star of the outfit. I am pretty much a sucker for anything space-related. So, this Beatles-Space Shuttle mash up was a must have.

This outfit was for yet another snow-day we had this year. We have had so much more snow this winter than our first 3 years combined. The ear warmer is my favorite part and adds a great pop of color.

I hadn't worn this blazer in years! Which is shocking to anyone who knows me well and my obsession with houndstooth. I got it in high school my sophomore year as a Christmas present, and I got the sweater dress the next fall. I wore this outfit church, and got a bunch of compliments on the blazer. Definitely will be taking it out of the closet more often. I love these clay color tights. They go with my hair so well (Ginger problems: when color coordinate your outfit with your hair).

For those of you reading from the East Coast and don't know what Fred Meyer is... It is a grocery store, but also has a home and clothing department. Its kind of like a Target, Kohls, and Giant Eagle all had a baby. This was my Valentine's Day outfit. In years past our Valentine's Day plans are eating pizza and doing something Star Wars related. This year we got together with friends from our church and made/ate Valentines Day cookies. Yum!

These sparkly boots are my rain boots. I bought them specifically for walking the dog in the rain, and I didn't really plan on wearing them "out." Every now and then I wear them to run errands and I get SO MANY comments and questions about them.

The black leggings you see pictured in pretty much every other outfit are from Ross Dress For Less. I bought two pair last March for $5 dollars each. They are so soft!!! I thought for sure they would lose their coziness and pill up, but they haven't. I have since bought 3 more pairs, lol. The brand is called "Love Couture".

I found this awesome panda sweater at Goodwill. It also happens to be one of my favorite brands: Kensie.

You'll notice that pretty much every pair of jeans I own is from Old Navy. I just love the way they fit me, and they are a great price. I usually wear one of the skinny mid-rise styles.

This skirt is actually a dress. It is a halter top style. I rarely have occasion to wear it, and it is a bit too revealing up top. So, I decided to flip in the top part, and wear it as a skirt. I'm so glad I found a way to wear it, because I love the pattern and ruffles.

This outfit makes me feel like an art teacher. I think because the skirt reminds me of Monet. Also, this entire outfit is from 2012 or earlier.

You always have to have at least a couple Star Wars items in your wardrobe. I have more than a couple, just for good measure.

I don't get a chance to "dress up" during the week a lot. But, I have Bible Study on Tuesday mornings and community group on Tuesday evenings. So, I usually put in a little more effort on Tuesdays. This is ones of those outfits.

I hope you enjoyed scrolling through my outfits. What did you think of the format? Is it too boring? Too long? What would you like to see more of? Less of? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
