Get In My closet :: Buying Clothes When You live among Swedish Models

March 14, 2016 · In: Closet, Fashion

Crane Armoire
When you spend six years living among 6′ giants, or the equivalent to the Swedish model, shopping in their clothing stores as a petite makes buying clothes a tricky business.  My daughter, Hailey, and I went on a shopping date this weekend for her 15th birthday (which is today!) but neither of us bought any clothing because we know we are about to be in the US.   Despite all the dreams of a wardrobe full of European clothing, we find it difficult to purchase a pair of jeans that do not look like we have knee caps in the middle of our shins or the sleeve has to be rolled to hide the fact that it reaches past our finger tips!

So, I hope you will indulge my wish listing here, because we are going to go CRAZY shopping when we hit the US and no longer have to worry about what will fit in a shipping container or our 2 suitcase per person allowance!  (but for those of you in Europe, most of these items are available here as well!!)

I’ve created three looks that include Classic, Casual, & Chic pieces that can all be mixed to create many different outfits and are sure to make you shout, “Get In My Closet!” (Which will preferably be the BEAUTIFUL Crane Closet featured above!)

SHOPPING DATE::

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the budget friendly links! 👏🏽 

Guys! I genuinely believe that creating a beautiful and magical space doesn’t have to break the bank! A few key budget friendly purchases and styling hacks can completely transform a space! From Amazon to Target to flea markets and Wayfair, we brought together a space that our son, Parker, will love! Don’t forget that clipping greenery from your own bushes and diy’ing your own art are just a couple ways you can create for free! XxV
