Last week I shared about my friend Cherie's new book Slaying the Debt Dragon. I am 100% behind this book and oh-so-proud of Cherie and her husband, Brian, for sharing their story. Which means I couldn't wait to design an outfit for the book!
But before I share it...let me backtrack a minute. A while ago, I came across this image from Pinterest (oh, Pinterest!) and thought it was a great look:

I love the mix of the navy and mint and the hint of a nautical theme.
Now back to Slaying the Debt Dragon...if you learn anything early-on from Cherie, it's that getting out of debt probably means (well, let's be honest--surely means) cutting back on spending. So going out and buying pieces for a new outfit just wasn't practical. So I did what we all need to learn to do--shopped my closet!
Did you know that the majority of Americans only wear 30% of their wardrobe (heard yesterday on The Today Show)?! That's crazy, right?! Why are we buying pieces and not wearing them? So I hunted my closet and created this FREE outfit (did you hear that, Cherie? FREE!):
A pretty good match, right? Nautical, mint, navy, jacket, scarf...
I used mint skinny jeans, a navy tank top, jean jacket, striped scarf, and nude heels.
It was so fun to create an outfit that I've never put together before!
What are you missing out on from your closet? I DARE you to shop your closet to put together a new outfit!
*All pieces are from my closet and probably no longer in stores, but here is where I found each piece:
Mint pants--TJ Maxx
Jean Jacket--Old Navy
Tank Top--GAP
Scarf--J Crew Outlet
Heels--DSW
