Shop My Closet

Another way to ReStyle is to shop your friends' closets. 

My Hat Sister, Brenda invited me to her house to shop her closets. This was the most fun I ever had shopping. Shoes were kicked off, cocktails were poured, and Brenda led me on a tour of her clothes, shoes, accessories, and of course, hats.

Brenda reminisced and I tried on dress after dress, after sweater, after blouse, after skirt, after cape.  For each outfit I tried on, Brenda had a story of where she wore it. A cruise. A dance competition. A gala. 

I love Brenda's taste, so I tried on LOTS of her clothes. Most everything fit like a glove. There were a couple of pieces that need some alterations, and I will be showing tutorials on them in future posts. 

Brenda styled me with her keen eye. "That blouse looks great on you. I've got just the thing to go with it." Brenda would go sailing out of the room, to return moments later with a skirt or a belt that matched perfectly. She put together complete outfits for me. "Wait! You need a hat with that!"

I pulled out of Brenda's driveway with a trunk full of clothes, sweet memories to share, and a heart full of love for an evening sharing stories and building a friendship.
