Do you ever find yourself in a bit of a rut when it comes to your closet? In the past few years, I really feel like I have found my style when it comes to clothes, but I’m still often overwhelmed by the simple act of getting dressed in the morning. In the last few years, I’ve left my corporate job and now have less of a need for business and cocktail attire. I’m out and about during the day, either shooting images or taking care of my kids, so I want to be comfortable, but I’d like to look stylish and put together as well. And I don’t want to spend a ton of cash, especially on items I’ll never wear.

Enter my friend Caitlin from C4 Styling! Caitlin came over to my very loud home (my kids were in rare form that day!) and we had such a great time while she provided me with her signature Closet Consult. She went through my entire wardrobe, pulled items that weren’t working for me anymore (either they didn’t fit my body OR my lifestyle) to donate to charity, organized everything else, and then put together some awesome new looks from clothes I already own! It was amazing! I felt like I had a whole new slew of outfits, and I didn’t even have to buy anything. She also took photos of the outfits (which you can see in this post) so that I could easily recreate them.

Caitlin also provided me with a wardrobe checklist, showing me what items I could add to my closet that would enhance what I already have. She even put together an awesome Pinterest board (you can see it here!), with links so I can purchase items directly online!

I am so grateful to Caitlin for helping me refine my style and get my closet in order. She’s exactly the medicine that my wardrobe needed! These days, when I get dressed in the morning, I’m not stressed about finding something to wear that fits my needs. And I’m a fan of anything that makes my life easier, especially during the crazy mornings in my house once school starts this week!

If you’ve met me, you probably have noticed I don’t go anywhere without a can of La Croix sparkling water in hand. It’s ridiculous, honestly. At this very moment there are six cases of La Croix in my garage. SIX. The other day a few Amazon Prime Pantry boxes showed up on my doorstep, and it turns out Trent had ordered a few cases so we’d have some on hand to avoid my freak outs that tend to happen when we run out. (You don’t want to be close by when I realize there is no more La Croix in the fridge…it’s not a pretty sight!) But it turns out great minds think alike, because I had purchased some emergency La Croix that same day, so now we look like we are stockpiling fizzy water for the apocalypse. Which, let’s face it, when the world ends I probably will have a can of La Croix in my hand.

Along with being a lover of La Croix, I am also a girl who likes her t-shirts. I have a glorious t-shirt pile in my closet, and I tend to pick up new ones all the time to mix in with my wardrobe. I have nerdy t-shirts, concert t-shirts, t-shirts with ironic sayings, vintage sports t-shirts and so much more. I love soft, comfy tees paired with every thing from a breezy skirt to a good pair of jeans, and now that I work from home and my profession does not require “business casual” dress (you guys, business casual is THE WORST) I find myself pulling my t-shirts out more and more often. So I was super stoked when the awesome brand La Croixs Over Boys sent over one of their amazing tees for me! I mean, could there BE a better melding of my worlds?!

I paired the OG White Tee with high waisted jeans from Madewell, Frye booties and this great hat I picked up at H&M last year. This is the sort of look I would put together for a concert or fun night out with my girlfriends. It’s comfy, a little undone, but edgy. And yes, I brought a prop La Croix for this little shoot…and then I drank it. LIKE A BOSS.
