Mama's Got a Brand New Bag (of clothes I didn't buy)

The other day I found Pigtails trying on her sister's red sparkly shoes (Shhh, don't tell Princess Sparkles).  I thought it was funny since just a month ago she would SCREAM bloody murder when I'd put anything on her feet.  That included socks.  Which is SO NOT COOL when you're walking around the mall because older ladies WILL STOP YOU and tell you that your baby is cold (She's not, but thanks). 

I really admire and appreciate my extremely fashionable friend, Fierce, for always "editing" her closet and allowing me to benefit.  She recently gave me a bag of clothes which included three pairs of jeans (including these great high waisted bell bottoms) and some adorable, comfy tops.  While this is great in terms of making me feel like I went "shopping" without really shopping, it does make it hard for the remix because I so want to wear my new clothes, but have to stick to my 30 pieces.  Here's what she gave me... 

TORQUISE TOP - Banana Republic, RUST TOP - Zara, BROWN SWEATER - Twelfth Street

JEANS:  (L-R) J Brand, 7 for All Mankind, Paige Premium Denim

CARGO PANTS - Joie, OLIVE SHORTS - Lux Lux

I still have another month of my shopping fast and another 20+ days of remixing.  The first week of remixing was a breeze because I had all those pieces to work with, but as I'm going into week 2 I'm realizing I have my "favorite pieces" (usually the most comfortable ones which also seem to be the easiest to match with... like my striped shirt and my floral dress!  And don't worry, I'll post today's outfit along with tomorrow's).  I'm counting down the days until I can wear Fierce's cute clothes.  Like Pigtails with Princess Sparkles' red sparkly shoes... everything is always so much more exciting when it belongs to someone else!
