Shopping with YummoMummo! 5 new items makes 9 new outfits! x

This time I took myself shopping and came up with a nine (9) fabulous outfits I could wear with items I already had in my wardrobe.  It always blows my mind how I can make this amount of go-to outfits by using new and old items. This sort of magic is especially important when going on vacation and there is limited baggage space. If you've been keeping up with my posts, you will see reference to my new Gap Girlfriends Jeans (read post HERE) and my Zebra print top (read post HERE)

Items I purchased (see photos below):
Rugby Stripe T from Forever 21 / $17
White Jacket from Forever 21 /  $24
1969 Girlfriend Jeans from Gap /  $53 (on sale 30% off from $70)
Glasses from Forever 21 /  $5
Zebra print top from Nordstrom Rack  / $35
Shopping total: $134

Already in my wardrobe:
Black pencil skirt
Shoes - black strap heels, black wedges, cheetah flats with bauble design, cheetah slip on Sneakers (see photo below for all shoes)
Assorted statement jewelry (see photo below)
Gold chain belt
Tangerine Jacket

I realize that I probably have more than the 'norm' when it comes to statement jewelry, but seriously, accessories are so valuable to transforming an outfit that you can never have too many. Maybe it's time you hosted a trunk show yourself to pick up some hostess goodies. To  know more about this read my post HERE.

Leave me a comment below with your favorite outfit? I read and respond to ALL comments.

*Disclosure: I am not a trained photographer nor trained in how to pose for photos, I am just a Mum trying to share some insights and inspiration with you. In being truly authentic to my cause, I have used my own clothes and used myself in the photos whole-heartily. Enjoy! (Fun Blogger Fact - It took 100 photo shots to get the 13 I actually used.)

    1. The tangerine jacket has been a great statement for morning school runs in the winter. Love a bit of color amongst all the dark grey skies. The ankle strap heels are Julianne Hough for Sole Society from The Rack last summer. Love them! So glad you enjoyed the post, was SOOO much fun to work on. x
