In todays video I’m wearing the Best Selling classic, Carrie Name Necklace from my shop, shopjulimarie.com. It has been the #1 popular piece the past 5 years. I have 3 of them in different sizes and chain lengths. Lately (and shown here) I’m wearing the Classic Carrie Name Necklace in gold on a 14″ Chain.

THE RULE OF 5
WHO ELSE HAS BOUGHT A NEW TOP BECAUSE YOU “LOVED IT SO MUCH” THEN MONTHS LATER IT STILL HASN’T BEEN WORN?
We’ve all been there! There has been a time in our life we’ve walked in our closet looking for something to wear only to be reminded of the items we purchased but still haven’t worn, tags still attached and all.
When we make impulse purchases we end up with a closet of one offs that we only have one other item to wear with it, if even that.
When we make impulse purchases we end up with a closet full of clothes yet still have NOTHING to wear. WHY are we like this?!
In 2013, after losing 20lbs, purging 90% of my closet and only having a clothing budget of $150 a month I was in desperate need of a high functioning wardrobe. That is when, why and how I created my #1 shopping rule, The Rule of 5.
I knew in order to still buy quality pieces I loved I was going to have to get creative (and disciplined) and that’s exactly what I did. Every single purchase I made for the following year was well thought out and 100% intentional. I had no room for impulse purchases, the function of my wardrobe couldn’t afford it.
I bet you don’t like throwing your money away, do you?
We all deserve to hit our financial goals (and best wardrobes) and a great starting point is to become more intentional with what we spend our money on.
I want you to be great in everything you do so I wrote a 24 page book to fully share The Rule of 5 with you. There’s even worksheets for you to brainstorm your goal wardrobe!

FEATURE BODYSUIT
I know you’ve seen this bodysuit on your favorite fashion bloggers Instagram feed and asked yourself if it’s really worth the hype. To answer your question, YES, yes it is!
Originally, I purchased the nude (shown) after trying it on I went right back to the Zara website and ordered the white too!
FIT: It is a thong for those that are particular about that. I purchased my TTS while it fits I feel like a size up may be better for length purposes. When I pull the top up so my boobs aren’t coming out the side I get a super serious wedgie and the thigh of it almost comes out the top of my pants. The fabric is super soft and stretchy so it’s super comfy, just the one fit issue with length. I may have a longer torso than I thought is what I’ve learned through this.
LOOK 1
JOGGERS: These were a recent purchase for Spring. They’re 90’s oversized sweatpants, I have them in black too. I wear one of the two at least once a week. I do say they fit TTS
SANDALS: When I saw these sandals last Summer I had to have them, they are more of investment but worth it to me. They’re my most worn sandal. Do go up a half a size. I’m an 8/8.5 and went with a 8.5.
HANDBAG: Another Amazon win I scored last Summer. It is an Hermes dupe so if you see it, buy it ASAP because the post will get taken down. I have the large option, it does come with a shoulder strap that I’m able to wear crossbody. I’m 5’4″
LOOK 2
DENIM: A new purchase! One of my must have items for S/S was a pair of light wash straight leg Levis and this Ribcage pair is everything I wanted. I went a size up and has they loosen up they’ll still look great!
SANDALS: Another new purchase for the S/S season. Did I need spikey cognac slides? No! Will I wear them, yes … ish.
HANDBAG: Purchased last Summer, great quality as expected.
LOOK 3
SKIRT: TTS, this skirt is just for styling if I’m being honest. The skirt linked is different from this one but is similar and better quality.
SHOES: This platform heel is from last year but there’s an even better version available this season. I went with my half size up and they fit great, are comfortable and easy to walk in. A cognac platform is very versatile.
HANDBAG: Another Amazon designer dupe I randomly stumbled upon. It’s similar to a Chanel bookbag. There are no double c’s or chanel logos so it’s not a knock off, just a similar looking dupe. I do recommend it!
LOOK 4
TROUSERS: The trousers I’m wearing are almost 15 years old. I linked a similar version that is available from the same brand
LOOK 5
PANTS: I’ve been wearing these pants all F/W and have all intentions on keeping that party going this S/S. I’ll be trading in sweatshirts for crop tops and bodysuits though. I did go a size up for an oversized look.
SHOES: I love these sneakers so much, I also have neon pink pair I wear daily to the gym. They are similar to a Balenciaga sneaker. I went with a 8.5
What brand of strapless bra are you wearing with this? 🙂
Hey! I wear The Incredible bra styles from Victoria’s Secret. It’s the only bra I’ve worn for 10 years.
Which one exactly?? I’m searching high and low for a bra for these bodysuits
It’s The Incredible from Victoria’s Secret
