yup, money is a little tighter for me right now, and my work Christmas party is this Saturday. Traditionally I would go buy myslef a new outfit, but I didn't want to spend my money on that this year. so into my closet I went, and came out with a pair of black dressy wide legged pants ( If I stand still they look like along skirt)it's only when I walk you can tell they are actually pants. very flowy with a sheer overlayer. then I got into my vacation bags and got a silvery satiny strappy top that has an asymetrical shape. I have a pretty bling 4 strand black & silver necklace, black shoes and a blingy bracelet. so..I think can pull this off, and no one but me and now all of you, will know I cheaped out this year! I have a pretty black lace shrug I will waer over the strappy top so I don't freeze to death.
anyone else out there shopping in their closets this season?

I always shop my closet! Isn't that what black dresses, pants, and pretty wraps are made for? Your outfit sounds gorgeous. Have fun at the party.

Sounds like an awesome outfit Cindi. Do make sure to take a picture for us - pretty please! We have a party Friday night and I am doing the same thing. Our party is casual and I have a few tops that were worn once, put back into my closet, and lost in the sea of hangers.

I'm not going anywhere fancy for the holiays, so I don't need to shop for me at all. Your outfit sounds terrific!

No parties for me this year so I won't have to shop for clothes. This Christmas will be a quiet one with just the 3 of us. I'm ready for that.

I like shopping in my closet! I don't get to wear the fancy stuff often enough so it's definitely where I go look first.

Sounds like fun but I have nothing in my closet that fits- to big to small! So going to have to get something new! Cindi I would love to see your outfit! Photo--please!

I never have anywhere to go to have to dress up. I'm glad you found you a great outfit and didn't have to buy anything new!

wel I tried on my outfit today. and I hasd to switch tops, the silver one did not lay right over my pants ( the have a belt that ties on the side) so back into my closet I went and came out with a black one with silver bling all over it. it looks way better with my pants. I'll try to get a pic
