Closet Confidential

I've been getting asked to talk more about my style on my YouTube channel. If you've been following my blog for a while, then you all know about my very comfortable and laidback style but that's not the case on my channel. I thought a good way to start introducing style videos to my channel would be by talking about some of my favorite pieces in my capsule wardrobe. I will fill you in on everything from the oldest item to my closet, to my three favorite pieces at the moment.

Outfit of the Day | Modern Basics

Earlier this summer I decided that I'm going to begin to transition into a capsule wardrobe. If you don't know what that means, I'm basically going to limit my wardrobe to 30-40 pieces. In order to do that, I've been selling some of my clothing and putting stuff aside to donate. It's not easy decluttering your closet, but building a capsule wardrobe has proven to be quite fun. The few fashion pieces that I've picked up as of late have been purchased if they fit the following criteria: 1.) Will I get a lot of wear from this? 2.) Can I style it in multiple ways? 3.) Do I feel comfortable in this? And from there I decide if it's worth adding into my wardrobe or not. Today I'm going to show you one of my favorite outfits that I've been wearing quite often this summer.

Outfit of the Day | $1 Finds

If I were to create a "Laura Neuzeth uniform," it would have the following pieces: black pants (or jeggings), an oversized top, and flats. This is another variation of my "style comfort zone," which you have seen quite a bit on my blog. The main difference is that the top I'm wearing in the pictures only costed $1. Yes, it was the same price as a anything from the McDonald's Dollar Menu. I found this button down last year during the Buffalo Exchange Earth Day Sale. They had three large boxes filled with clothes that didn't get sold inside of the store, essentially it was their junk. When I pulled the top from one of the boxes it wasn't love at first sight, but it was one of those things that had the potential to be something great. I'm so glad I got it because it's definitely something that's very "me."

Outfit of the Day | Downtown

Downtown is one of my favorite areas in San Diego because I can get a taste of what it's like in a big city. San Diego is overall a pretty laid back area comprised of various beach cities, Indian reservations, ranches, and a lot of suburbs. I enjoy Downtown a lot because I get a little of the hustle and bustle that I enjoy, there's always interesting characters on the streets, and a variety of buildings for me to admire. To match my surroundings I decided to wear something that is effortlessly cool (well at least I think it looks cool).

What's In My Bag

The "What's In My Bag" video is one of the most popular videos among the beauty and fashion community on YouTube. I personally love knowing what people carry in their bag because I'm nosy like that so when I got tagged to do this video I was like "why not?" I don't have a designer bag, in fact this bag I own has absolutely no indication where it's from- all I know is that I got it at Buffalo Exchange for a really good price and that it fits everything I need. I feel like the derp version of Mary Poppins with this bag and the random things I carry in it.

Outfit of the Day | December Nights

Last Friday I attended my first ever December Nights at Balboa Park. It is a two-day celebration held at Balboa Park (the area that houses many of San Diego's museums and also the zoo). There's a lot of food, gifts to buy, music, and free activities for the family during December Nights. Most of the museums were free that day which made me really happy, and you get to walk around and see the park completely decorated in lights. I'm going to share with you the outfit I choose to wear to December nights. It isn't the most holiday-ish outfit but I just really wanted somewhere to wear my holographic shoes out.

Outfit of the Day | Monochromatic

For the month of October the San Diego Style Bloggers blog issued a challenge to come up with monochromatic looks. I honestly was over thinking this and actually trying to plan out a complicated monochromatic look, but this past Sunday the look just sort of happened. I went up to visit my boyfriend this weekend so I didn't end up taking my whole wardrobe and by the last day all I had was black items of clothing. When I looked in the mirror I realized "Hey, I'm wearing head-to-toe black! This is a monochromatic look!"
