Creating an Outfit When You Have "Nothing to Wear"

August 2, 2016 Adrianna Naomi

"I have nothing to wear to (insert particular occasion here)," said every other woman on this planet. But seriously, there's absolutely nothing in your closet to slip-on and go with? Hun, spare a moment to take a mental inventory of your wardrobe. Think about every single piece you currently own and tell me, how bad is the situation?

Because I've also been down this road much more than I'd like to admit, I've come up with a simple and straight-forward strategy in response to the "I have nothing to wear" dilemma. So ladies, stay with me.

Reflect on your wardrobe:

  • Think about several items you haven't worn in a minute.
  • Keep these in mind and think about the occasion you're dressing up for. Is it a work event? A casual outing? A night out with your girlfriends?
  • What about weather conditions? Will it be hot, cold, mildly bearable?
  • And lastly, ponder on how comfortable you'd like to be at your event. Are high heels required or would you be able to pull off your favorite pair of snug sneakers?

Now, which of the pieces you initially thought about fit your particular needs? It's all in the process of elimination! At this point, you should have around three to four items in mind which you'll proceed to mix, match, pair-up, and combine. See where I'm going with this? Before you know it, you'll have a stunning as-can-be outfit, utilizing pieces of clothing you hadn't worn for a while (brownie points because not a lot of people will recall you wearing them.)

Lastly, take a good look at your accessories drawer and select one or two jewelry staples to finish it off! When you think about it this way, it takes a lot of the pressure out of figuring out what you're going to wear. As for my outfit, I was heading to a warehouse party in Brooklyn last Friday and had no idea what to wear (typical). My thought process behind this one?

  • I had an animal print crop-top from Forever 21, which I hadn't worn in ages.
  • Because it was a warehouse party, I could be as casual and comfy as I wanted to be; the crop-top was perfect for the occasion.
  • I was going to the event with my bf and thought of giving my outfit a 90's schoolgirl sort of twist, thus the modern-day Clueless pleated mini-skirt.
  • Because I also wanted to be able to dance the night away, I brought in my white leather Converse.
  • And lastly, I laid down a few accessories and opted for a simple set of gold jewelry. All set!

Amount spent on this setup? Nada. But for your convenience (and viewing pleasure), I've pieced together the following looks, which perfectly encompass my last minute 90's schoolgirl / warehouse-party outfit idea. And if you're a fan, you can shop the looks below!

Lovers, it's almost been 2 years since I went back home to Puerto Rico and I can't wait to return in July to see my friends + family, and to lay on the beach like a fried codfish fritter (obviously!) Puerto Rico's food, people, culture, music, and breathtaking scenes of absolute paradise are by far the best reasons why you should plan a trip to PR this year and visit @seepuertorico http://www.seepuertorico.com/en/promo/ for more info on how to make it all happen. Who's with me? 🇵🇷 #sponsored #puertoricoready #paradise #discoverpuertorico #seepuertorico
#AffirmationMonday: “I am patient, kind, and compassionate with myself.” The relationship we have with ourselves is the longest relationship we’ll ever hold on this existence. We can be our best friends, greatest supporters, and allies OR opt to be our worst enemies. 🤔

Self-love gets tricky when we let our negative self-talk, fears, and insecurities get in the way but it's up to us to catch and stop ourselves from going any further by noticing when our thoughts derail in this direction. 💭

Like waking up from a bad dream, become aware of this and understand that these are all mere delusions. We ALL possess boundless strength and an unlimited potential to overcome any given obstacle which comes our way. 🙏🏽💕 #AffirmationsWithAdri #AffirmationoftheWeek | 📸: @benjaminbenson
To love, acceptance, and equality! I'll be finishing my yoga intensive training + auditions this weekend but trust that I'll find a spot to celebrate #NYCPride on Sunday night. Anyone else celebrating? ❤💛💚💙💜 #loveislove #pridemonth2018

To my badass babes at @bulletin.co, thank you for making my pin-up girl dreams come to life with this stunning one-piece swimsuit (which I'll continue to wear as a top throughout summer!) ⠀
⠀
Ride them waves 〰️ and laugh it all out. Life is too precious to be doing otherwise. 😉
#AffirmationMonday: "I release my need to control the future. Instead, I simply focus on allowing the BEST to happen!"⠀
⠀
From February 21st through June 10th I completed my 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training and a 50-Hour Extensions program with @corepoweryoga. This weekend was my 1st round of intensive training and auditions, culminating with round 2 on June 24th. ⠀
⠀
Through this time period, I've not only witnessed myself change, grow, and evolve, but I've also witnessed the transformation of all the awesome humans who embarked on this journey with me (I'm so proud of you all!)⠀
⠀
To anyone who's in the thick of a big transition, an inner transformation, an audition, waiting to hear back from a job interview, or going through any type of trajectory change in your life 1) TRUST that whatever the outcome is, it will be for your greater benefit 2) FOCUS on doing the best you can with what you already have and 3) ALLOW life to happen. You've put in the work and planted your seeds; believe with all your ❤️ that your efforts will flourish exactly as they should. #affirmationoftheday ⠀
