The No Brainer Wardrobe + a giveaway!

by

GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED!

If I were to ask you how many pieces of clothing you have in your closet, what would your answer be?
40, 60, 80?  Too stuffed to count?

When was the last time you cleaned out your closet?
Maybe some of you have – since it’s January, but I know I have yet to tackle mine.

What about your wardrobe itself – do you like it?  Are you always shopping for more?  Better yet, do you feel confident in the clothes you have?

While you’re thinking about your wardrobe & your closet can we talk about this lady for a sec?

This is Hayley.  Her blog is The Tiny Twig.  Her reputation is growing by leaps & bounds in blogland & in the real world.  Her awesome sense of style, her tips & suggestions are for real women of all sizes with real budgets.  She just finished her ebook,  The No Brainer Wardrobe.

In her ebook, she’ll take you through the process of cleaning out your closet. = GETTING ORGANIZED! whoohoo!
She’ll share tips on finding your style, inspiration or how to dress & get ideas.
What to buy.  How to plan ahead.

She’ll even share how she uses Pinterest for wardrobe planning & inspiration. Then, she’ll take you shopping at Goodwill in her book, to share tips on what to look for while shopping at a thrift store.

She pulls it all together for you & will make your mornings so much easier with her No Brainer Wardrobe suggestions.

She’ll cover it all in her easy, helpful way.  I love what she has to say about Accessories for example:

“Accessories are like the cinnamon on your toast, the syrup on your pancakes, the sprinkles on your sundae.  They make things sweet and fun.  Accessories are also an inexpensive way to make you outfit more finished and polished.”

She knows how to do it.

Isn’t she cute?

  2. I was only born in 82, but I fell victim to bowl hair cuts! lol As well as a few generations of hand me down horrible church dresses. You should see them…ay ya ya! I need some serious help, I would love a copy! Off to check out her site. 🙂

  5. I was just a little kid in the 80s, but I definitely wore the awful look of biker shorts underneath a skirt, eek!

  7. Perm, Big Glasses…My husband had a perm, we had a poodle, next my dad said even the baby would have a perm!! Oh yeah, the closet needs help.

  9. What a great ebook! Oh how I loved the ’80s. . . I think the worst was when I wore a jean jacket (that was three sizes too big) full of rock band buttons to Disney World in the summer. Oh the things we did to look “cool”!

  19. Oh, sounds like a great book! I fell victim to my mother cutting my hair something a little like this: business in the front, party in the back – and I am a GIRL!

  24. I was pretty little in the 80s, but I had a pair of jelly shoes and I wore my hair in a high side pony tial with even higher Aqua netted bangs.
    Yowsa!
    Looking forward to looking around her blog–thanks for introducing me.
    Love from,
    Greta

  27. Ooo. Two layers of too big t-shirts, so that when rolled up your sleeves it had a two toned effect. And of course then the bottom of the t-shirts were wadded tightly shoved into a “T-Tie”. No sensible 80’s girl could live without one!

  28. I really need this book — I’m not confident in what I currently own and am always searching for more better stuff.
    I had this fabulous florescent socks made out of … mesh!

  34. I don’t think there was anything I didn’t fall victim to in the 80s! Big hair, leg warmers, neon colors, leggings, stirrup pants, swatches, – oh what a cool decade!

  35. All of it – Flashdance off the shoulder sweatshirts, Madonna lace and rubber bracelets, add to that neon, parachute pants, big hair. I graduated high school in 89 so I hit all those styles.

  37. ducks (on t-shirts, sweatshirts …). and lots of eyelet lace (I was born in 86, so there’s an excuse for it, but still! what baby wears that much lace? and what was with the ducks?!)

  46. It wasn’t a mullet, but almost the short hair in the front and long in the back. Especially gross with a perm. Big bangs too. Loved the 80s though. Charm necklaces were a favorite! And I had a favorite pink and white striped Lacoste shirt as a kid.

  48. Now this looks cute! I would love a copy. I was a child of the 80’s, so you name it, I did it. I was probably most famous for patterned leggings with double slouchy socks color coordinated to match. That was my jam. And hey, I still love a good flashdance sweatshirt!

  49. I was a tiny Punky Brewster look-a-like. I had the “Claw” bangs and “wings” coming from the sides of my head. Mis-matched socks and shoes, leggings, sparkle….Oh the good days. 🙂

  50. Hmmm, I was born in ’75 so the 80s and me kind of grew up together! Big hair, neon anything, and fold ‘n’ cuff jeans are what got me through! Oh, and did I mention big hair?

  51. This will sorely age me, but may make your younger readers appreciate the times they live in….I spent the 80’s pregnant with my first 4 children, wearing huge mumus with arrows pointing down at my belly and pictures of storks on my XXL T-shirts. And I had a tight perm and feathery bangs (yes, they co-existed!) Now I’m a chic GrandMama (with 7 kids still at home..) but I still care about wardrobe and fashion 🙂

  52. I was a kid but I clearly remember the ginormous pony tail holders my mom would put in my hair! Plus the giant bows – all of course matched whatever outfit I had on 🙂

  58. wow, i could totally use something like that ebook! oh…peg leg pants, double socks of different colors…home perm…hypercolor shirt….fun fun 80’s child:) myhedwig (at) gmail (dot) com

  63. Oh my goodness, what horrid trend did I not fall victim to? That would have been jr high and high school so I was all about the wardrobe. Big hair (not permed though, one bad experience with that and never again), leg warmers, stirrups, neon lace, off the shoulder, socks (often multiple colors) with my jeans tucked in, ugh I cannot go on!!

  67. I wore leg warmers just about everywhere! I lived in San Diego … so what made me think I needed them?? I didn’t do the big hair … I went the other way and had the “Lady Di” haircut for years.
    I would love the book … have been going though my closet and dresser … not much I care to wear, so much of it has gone into the donatation box.. and it’s all in really good condition. Someone else will be blessed.

  69. Big bangs, stirrup pants, jelly shoes, and day-glo everything. Yep, it was all bad! And now my 12 y/o dd’s style is so much eighties throw back, it hurts me lol!

  70. Oh boy , do I ever need this. In the 80’s Aqua Net hairspray was my best friend. I had huge, tall, thin, fanned bangs and the rest of my hair was poofy and curly. Oh, if I only had a picture! Oh wait, I burned those! I NEED to win this, you should see my closet! 🙂 xoxo, Melaine

  81. Oh nice, I’d love to read this!

    What did I fall victim to in the 80’s … um, still letting my mom dress me / buy my clothes, I was in elementary school so didn’t really know much. I mean that Smurfette sweatshirt I wore everyday was awesome, right?
