Eye Spy...a rediscovery

This weeks "Eye Spy" theme was provided by The Byron Life. Play along weekly over at Bug and Pop

This week's Eye Spy theme happily coincided with my first ever Naked Lady Party! If you've never heard of a NLP, here are the basics:

1. Ask your friends to clean out their closets and invite them over.
2. Sort the clothing into categories; shirts, pants, skirts, shoes, etc.
3. Dive in and search for new clothes.
4. Donate the leftovers.
5. Oh yeah, and appetizers and bevvies help too!

Having an NLP is great for so many reasons; The economy has tanked, but you can get new cute clothes for free, NLPs keep clothing out of a landfill and this is a great motivator to clean house for the change in season. Not to mention it's pretty fun!

My tiny living room was FULL of clothes - you literally had to dive in to piles to pick stuff out...(my photos came out funky because my camera was on a weird setting unbeknownst to me)...

Clothing madness!

This is my "Eddy" outfit a la Absolutely Fabulous. The denim mini vest was definitely the star of the evening.

Jess made out like a bandit

Jess made out like a bandit. That mini skirt has BUILT IN SHORTS! Man I wish I was a size 8 - so cute!

Off to Goodwill later this week

Here are the leftovers, which will be heading off to Goodwill later this week. I can't believe how much clothing is packed into those boxes!

Here are some of my favorite "rediscoveries."

Cute ruffly brown shirt and JEANS THAT FIT aka Unicorn aka Mythical Creature that I did not think existed...

NLP Favorites :: Cute Shirt and JEANS THAT FIT!

Awesome plaid high waisted secretary skirt and knee high boots

NLP Favorites :: Plaid Skirt and Boots

And the "boobylicious" dress

NLP Favorites ::Boobylicious Dress

The dress is a little over the top in the cleavage department, but it was so silky and swingy and pretty I couldn't resist. If I'm feeling demure I think I might wear this with a lacy slip underneath that covers up the girls a bit, or if I'm feeling bold I might rock it out with a big necklace to distract from the "fanny front" as my sister calls it.

Have I convinced you to have a Naked Lady Party yet? Go on! Re-discover what is hiding in your friends closets!
