Spring Cleaning: Shop My Closet Update!

It's finally spring and my closet is overflowing with dresses that simply aren't getting enough love... so I thought it was high time I did another massive update to my Shop My Closet store! I've got a bunch of new pieces up for grabs in sizes M-XL, many of them barely worn! I've also reduced the prices of everything else that's been sitting around for a while. At this point, I'd really like to get the clutter out (and give you all a bargain in the process)! Here's just a small sampling of what you'll find...


Sadly, I can't offer discounts anymore because Storenvy doesn't allow them unless I pay a monthly fee. I tried to make up for it by pricing everything really reasonably. I'm sure there will be more to come soon, but this was all I could get through in a short amount of time. :) So get to shopping and snag yourself some pretties! Head on over to my shop here.

Have a great weekend!

Shop My Closet Update!

It's that time again! I'm clearing out my closet because: 1) I have way too many clothes, obviously and 2) I'm headed down to New Orleans in less than two weeks (my girls' trip with Ashley! Yay!), which means that I'm in need of funds (we'll just pretend I'm not going to buy any new dresses while I'm there...).

Seriously though, I need to get rid of a bunch of stuff. Not only have I added TONS of stock (some true vintage and a lot of repro/modern, plus purses, brooches, and even a couple of phone cases) but I've also lowered the prices on most items that have been sitting in my store for a while. So you have no excuse not to at least look! Head on over to my Shop My Closet store and take a look at what's available!

Happy Shopping (and feel free to comment if you have questions)! :)

Shop My Closet update!

Happy Friday, everyone! I know I've been severely slacking on posts. I'm sort of considering the month of November to be a wash, you know?

Check out everything that's up for grabs in my Shop My Closet store.

Oh, and you can use the code SOUBRETTE10 at checkout to get 10% off your order! :)

Shop My Closet update!

Since there's currently too much snow on the ground to take photos (without ugly snow boots, anyway), I thought it'd be a good time to make another big update to my "Shop My Closet" store! I've added pieces from Tatyana, ModCloth, Steady Clothing, Hell Bunny, Bryony (formerly Poppy London) and TONS more – including a few vintage dresses. (And if you're a lover of novelty prints, you'll definitely want to check it out!) If that's not enough to convince you, I'm giving my readers 10% off their purchase with the code SOUBRETTE10. Here's a tiny preview of what's up for grabs... but click here to see everything!

Shop my closet!

shop my closet

It's 2016, which means it's out with the old and in with the new! It's been a looooong time since I did a "shop my closet" update! But my closet is packed to the brim (quite literally – my closet shelving unit recently ripped right out of the wall, whoops!), and I have some great pieces that don't fit my style or body anymore that are taking up valuable space. My loss can be your gain, though! Head on over to my store to take a peek at what's up for grabs! I have sizes M-XL, with lots of retro, quirky brands – and some vintage, too!. (There's a direct working link at the top of my blog too, in case you need to find it but lose track of this post.) Thanks for taking a look, and happy shopping!

Shop My Closet update!

shop my closet

Happy Sunday!  I'm just dropping by to let you know that I've done a pretty substantial update to my Shop My Closet store, including some really fun party dresses and coats that are perfect for the holiday season.  I also have a bunch of different sizes available (I've worn anywhere from a medium to an extra-large, so I have sizes 8-12), and lots of different styles -- many of them unworn.  Below is just a tiny little sampling of what I've added, and I still have some great items from previous updates that are still available!  If you're in the market for an inexpensive holiday option -- or just want to treat yourself -- head on over to my Shop My Closet store and take a peek!  :)

Instagram Dress Sale!

Shop my closet
This is just a quick little post to let you all (or those who don't follow me on Instagram) that I'm selling a few of my dresses there.  A couple have sold already, but if they don't end up selling, then I'll list them in my store next week.  My favorite one is the yellow Steady Clothing dress in the middle -- it's brand new & never worn (I ended up needing a size up and I took the tags off so I can't return it)!  It's SO darling and I hope there's someone who wants to give it a good home.  :)  If you're interested, I'm selling stuff at good prices, so hop on over to my Instragram and take a peek!  And if you're not seeing anything there you like, you should take a look around my "shop my closet" store, as well!  There are tons of great things still up for grabs!

Have a great Thursday!

A brand new look & a huge "shop my closet" update!!

Ahem... notice anything... different?  I am absolutely thrilled with this brand new layout that Kate made for me!!  I've been wanting to do a bit of an overhaul for a while now, and the timing finally worked out.  Kate designed my original layout, which was great for when I was first starting out, but I definitely wanted something more personalized.  Amazingly, I pretty much told Kate the bare essentials of what I had in mind (color scheme, aesthetic), and she dreamed up all the rest!  I wanted something that combined a kawaii sensibility with a retro feel, and I think she did a wonderful job at marrying the two.  I'm especially smitten with the header she made; tying in my novelty purse collection into the page navigation was a stroke of genius.  Kate was also kind enough to make new ad buttons for me -- they're on the bottom right if you'd like to grab one!
And speaking of ads... I'd been doing some informal ad swaps and sponsorships for a little while, but I finally decided to start offering advertising opportunities through Passionfruit!  It streamlines the whole experience and takes a lot of the back-and-forth out of the equation.  You can get all the information on my advertising page, but essentially, I'm offering three different sizes of ads to choose from, and all are very affordable.  I'm still a relatively small blog (though I'm still growing, thanks to all of you!), so all of my ads are priced from $5 - $15 per month.  If you have any questions or want to contact me about a sponsorship opportunity (like a giveaway, a product review, a shop feature, etc.), you can always e-mail me.  If you are a small business owner, blogger, or offer a service or product that would fit right in with my girly, kitschy aesthetic, I'd love to work with you!

Finally, I have another piece of news: my "shop my closet" store is open again... with a MASSIVE update in items!  I now have over 65 pieces available for purchase in my shop!  It's been a long time coming, and I know I'll have at least one other big update to do later this summer; I'm really bad at getting rid of things, so I have a huge pile of clothes that I'm not quite ready to part with yet, but I know I will be soon.  I have some fantastic dresses (from brands like ModCloth, Urban Outfitters, Sugarhill Boutique, Trollied Dolly, Anthropologie, ASOS, Forever 21, H&M, and a couple of vintage finds!), plus a bunch of skirts, shorts, jeans, and even some jewelry and shoes up for sale!  In addition, I have a pretty wide range of sizes available (thanks, weight fluctuation!) -- there are lots of mediums and larges, but there are also a few XL pieces that are really great.  Essentially, if you are a US size 6-14, I have some great finds for you!  Here's just a sampling of what's in store in my store!  ;)
The last couple of days have been incredibly difficult ones, for reasons that I may or may not go into at a later time.  Working on this little "re-launch" has been a much-needed source of distraction, and I hope you like the new layout as much as I do.  On a sentimental note -- albeit a very important one -- take the time right now to hold your loved ones close.  Tell them you love them and how much they mean to you every single day.  Because one day, you might not get another chance.  Thank you all for bringing a lot of brightness into my life.  As silly and superficial as this little blogging habit of mine might seem to some, your support means the world to me, especially now.  Be safe, and may your lives be filled with light and love.

Candy striper

Outfit Details:
Cotton Candy Stand Dress: purchased from Kate of Scathingly Brilliant (orig. from ModCloth)
Pink petticoat: vintage (purchased from my voice teacher)
White bolero: Target (old)
Travel necklace: ASOS (old)
T-strap flats: Urban Outfitters (sold out)





I first wore this dress on my blog in May, when it was finally starting to get warm outside.  It's starting to get cooler (yesterday was the first day that actually felt like fall), so I thought I'd style this dress for the changing seasons.  It's not cool enough to wear tights yet, but I thought this was a good way to try to transition this sweet-and-sugary dress.  This dress is made by Hell Bunny, one of my favorite retro-inspired brands, and I bought it during one of Kate's "shop my closet" updates.  She has such great taste, and I was thrilled to snag this dress from her!  And speaking of "shop my closet"... I am hastily working on an update to my own "shop my closet" store!  I have tons of pieces that will be great for autumn, so I am busy taking photos of those to list!  If you're interested, check out what's currently in my shop here.  The prices are really low, and I'd love to get these items to good homes while there's still the hope of a little last bit of warmth outside!








We're only halfway through the week, but it's already been a crazy-busy one.  I stayed up 'til late editing a bunch of rehearsal tracks (which our pianist so kindly recorded for us) in GarageBand, and I'm still not done.  I'm wearing very many hats for this production.  At least it's never boring.  I'm realizing I'm going to have to take a bunch of photos at once to get ahead on blogging, since the Fringe Festival is an insane time (as is the week or so leading up to it).  I'm gonna have to grab my free time while I can, and make the very most of it.  I'm already feeling the effects of this stressful slash exciting time, so I'm glad that I get a night off to celebrate Rosh Hashanah with my family.  I love going to my grandparents' house for the Jewish holidays.  This holiday is in my top three (the other two being Passover and Chanukkah), but really, any holiday (or day, in general) that involves eating yummy food, I'm all about it.  :)

Hope you have a lovely Wednesday!

Tutti frutti

Outfit Details:
Nishe Fruit Dress: ASOS (on sale!)
Spectator heels: BAIT footwear (also on sale!)
Strawberry ring: Urban Outfitters (also on sale!)
Wicker purse: Chicwish (amazingly, also on sale!!)


I have no idea how I managed to put an outfit together where each piece is on sale from its regular price.  I'm pretty sure I managed to only get the shoes on sale, as I think I bought everything else prior to them going on sale.  Which is sad for me, but it's good for you, if you have an interest in purchasing any of these pieces!  This dress from Nishe has been sitting in my closet for a while, though I'm not sure why... or rather, how I could leave something fruit-adorned buried in my closet for so long.


I could die of cuteness from these buttons alone.








I'm pretty sure I am going to put another dress from Nishe in my shop my closet store fairly soon.  I love their designs, but I have several Nishe dresses in my closet already.  It's such a cute little dress, with pretty pastel stars all over (and the buttons are blue stars, as well), in a style very similar to this one.  I have a bunch of other items that I want to put into the shop soon, too (including a dress from Sugarhill Boutique, one from Urban Outfitters, one from American Apparel, and one from Forever 21).  It's on the ever-growing list of things I need to accomplish.






Have a fruitful (ha) Tuesday!

Shop my closet!

Hello, all!  I have some exciting news (well, it's exciting to me, at least) to share with you today!  After months of looking at a garment rack full of extraneous clothes from my overflowing closet... I have finally opened my shop my closet store on Storenvy!!!





















This first update doesn't even include all of the pieces I want to sell (some are currently out of season, and I'm still going through others and trying to figure out what I want to keep and what I know I won't wear - it's hard to let go of clothes for me!).  The vast majority are items that have never even been worn!  A few have been worn just once, and I think there's only one item that has been worn multiple times (but is still in fantastic condition).   















Although I initially wanted to open up a shop my closet store to make some extra revenue to help make up for all the money I've spent on my ever-expanding wardrobe, I ended up deciding to keep my prices low, for the sake of getting them out of my closet and into the closet of someone who will love and appreciate these pieces.  All of these items are listed for at least 50% off of the original purchase price (and in some cases, it's probably closer to 75% off), so I'm certainly not making a profit on anything.  It's far more about being able to get these lovely items to people who will wear the hell out of them; these clothes deserve to be worn!  :)


























I'd love it if you'd check out my store -- and let me know what you think!  If you have questions (especially about measurements and fit), please don't hesitate to reach out to me!  I'm more than happy to take exact measurements for you.  And if you think that any of these prices are unreasonable, please let me know!  I'm a total newbie to this, so any feedback is greatly appreciated.  You can reach out using the feedback form in my shop, or feel free to e-mail me!



























I did something totally theatre-nerd-y and gave all of the pieces names that are references to musicals.  I just couldn't help myself.  I don't talk a ton about theatre on here (I kind of wanted my blog to be mostly a separate creative outlet, though I wasn't going to hide that very important part of my life, either), so this was my chance to have fun and pretend I am a ModCloth copy writer. 

Some of the brands in the store so far include Forever 21, ASOS, Lulu*s, Urban Outfitters and River Island.  I will be adding more items to my store in the very near future!  I know for sure that I'll be adding a a Nishe dress and a Sugarhill Boutique dress (!!) to this lot, along with other great pieces, so stay tuned for updates!  :)  

Have a wonderful Saturday!
