About Me

Hey there, I'm Audrey!

Married to B.  San Diego dweller.  Home grown in the Bay Area.  Obsessed with all things Target.  Addicted to boba.  Hopelessly dependent on chocolate ice cream.  (It's quite a problem.)  Singer, musician, songwriter.  Big on eats, laughs, and friends.  And above all, completely in love with Jesus!

I work full time for a non-profit organization, talking life and faith with college students and helping them live for something greater than themselves.  It's the best!


About the Blog
I've always loved shopping and style, and after discovering style blogs in April 2011 all of that inspiration gave me an itch to rework my closet and let my style evolve.  To what, exactly?  I didn't know, so I started this blog in June 2011 to help me figure it out.

While Putting Me Together started out as a fun outlet to grow my style, along the way it has grown into a resource for other women to do the same.  I've seen a lot of women distressed about clothes and down about their bodies, and my hope is that this blog relieves some of that.  I believe every person deserves to feel great about themselves!  Whether you already think style is fun or whether you feel "style challenged," this blog aims to make style accessible to everyone!

If you're new here and looking for a place to start, check out some of these guides:

Reach me at:  audrey (at) puttingmetogether (dot) com.  For style questions, see below.

I read every single email and am extremely appreciative and encouraged by them.  I do my best to respond to what I can, but due to the busyness of managing life, I may not be able to respond to each of your emails.  Thanks for understanding.  :)

  5. Thanks for taking that leap to start your blog -- I love that you are all about uplifting people through style and your relationship with God. I am always working to have a better relationship with Him and am also working on my wardrobe, as I will be graduating from college in December and would like to have a "professional" wardrobe when I start grad school.

    Keep sharing your light :)

  8. Hi there! Just wanted you to know that I found your blog via pinterest a few days ago and I have already read probably every word in it lol. As you mentioned, I myself have been in a "jeans" rut forever and have always thought women who seemed like they had a new outfit everyday just had more money than me. =/ But now I see that I can really change up my whole wardrobe easily. Thank you so much =D Really do appreciate the inspiration!

I CANNOT wait to go through my closet and start over again. I LOVE that your blog shows REAL clothes on a REAL person!!! Thanks for ALL of the time you put into this blog...it is GREAT!!

  16. Thank you so much for posting pictures of REAL clothes that REAL people can afford. I love it! I am planning on doing a little better at dressing myself this fall (I spend most of my time dressing 2 kids and a husband!) and your ideas are amazing, yet simple. Thank you for the pictures, you look great! God bless, you girl!

  17. I know I already posted here...but I just wanted to tell you that YESTERDAY I wore a belt with a shirt that I have not worn in a year AND today I bought another belt. I have never gotten more compliments in one day...felt great. Thanks for the push to make simple changes. I walked around the mall noticing pieces that I would have NEVER looked at before and thought...what could I layer with that?? Or I bet that would be cute with a belt. Thanks Thanks Thanks!!!

  20. Best blog ever! I was wondering if you have done a winter or spring version of your "8 pieces, 15 outfits"?? I am going on a two week trip to London/Edinburgh/Dublin in March of 2013. It's still pretty chilly in March(average temperature is around 55 during the day, probably a little less)

  22. I've recently discovered your blog, and as a stay-at-home-mom, I often find it so hard to feel in style. You have a casual wardrobe that also has presence, and that's what I love about it. I love the way you do that thing with your belts - the little curl thing at the end. My goal this year as my son turns 3 (and I turn 41!) is to find a way to get out of the jeans/tshirt rut....bought a blazer at Target as my first attempt. Thanks and look forward to seeing more of your blog!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Love your blog! You have completely inspired me to revamp my wardrobe after losing some weight. I have always done well with thrift shopping, but never knew how to put outfits together once I bought single items. With your help, I am finding " completer pieces" and having a blast playing with my style. I even bought colored bottoms- gasp!:)Thank you!!

  25. Wonderful Website. Im hoping you can do some style ideas using a tank maxi dress. I have one that i am constantly wondering how to wear not just as a black maxi dress.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hi Audrey, I just wanted to say that you've given me so much inspiration to whittle down my closet and make my clothing work together. My weight fluctuates alot, but your style seems to transcend size, which is wonderful. I do have one question. I have very fair skin, naturally fair (blonde) hair, light blue eyes and a rosy complexion, and I find that it's hard for me to pull off so many color combinations. I'm jealous of your beautiful complexion and dark hair! Can you give any recommendations for dressing me?
    God bless you, I know this will change my life!

    1. Hi Beth, thank you for taking the time to write! Regarding your question about coloring--gosh, I'm not sure. I'm not a professional stylist and am not that familiar with different people's colorings. However, I will say that I actually wish I could pull of some colors that blonde haired blue eyed people can, such as this lovely blogger here: http://www.runningonhappiness.com/ If you sift through her blog that might open you up to try some colors that you think you can't pull off! Also, it sounds like your coloring might be similar to Reese Witherspoon? She's one of my celebrity style icons, so try Googling some of her looks!

  27. I am so glad that I stumbled across your blog (thanks to Pinterest). Your story sounds a lot like mine: I love Jesus, I'm a teacher trying to help her students find their way, I LOVE shopping at Target, and I love chocolate ice cream. I've also recently began working on my wardrobe trying to make what I have and what I can afford work for me (I recently lost 12 pounds, too). I love cruising online for creative ways to put what I already have together or which pieces I should buy that will look great and give me the most bang for my buck. Your blog is everything rolled into one. Thanks so much for the great advice and motivation! :)

  28. I just stumbled across your blog from Pinterest as well. I'm a Christian wife/mom/nurse expecting baby #2 in October. I'm really excited about redoing my wardrobe {in an affordable way} after baby comes. I'm loving your blog and your outfit ideas. Thanks for sharing! You are adorable.

  30. I just found you through Pinterest, and wow oh wow am I glad that I did. I am currently VERY stuck in the one pair of jeans with a million t-shirts rut!

    I am SO SO glad that you have adorable and modest outfits! I read through you re-mixable wardrobe posts and it was so easy to finally grasp the concepts, and see that I could too one day (hopefully soon) be stylish! I've always seen girls who dress like you and felt a little envious but also totally clueless as to how to put together such a look!
    Thanks for the blog, and especially the great pictures to go with the explanations.

  31. Hi Audrey! I saw you on Pinterest and was like I know her. I work for the same non-profit as you only in Kentucky :-) and I have the same priviledge as you to help college students grow in their faith. Anyways saw you pinterest and thought I would say hello and let you know that I think your blog is really cool! You inspire me. Blessings & hope your NSO season is going well.

  32. Hi Audrey,

    I just found your blog, and I just wanted to write and say how much I love it! I am trying to do the same thing you are - kind of revitalize my wardrobe and "get it together" a bit more without having to spend too much money in the process. I love your ideas for accessorizing and I especially love how you show how a few basics can be worn so many different ways. It takes looking cute and put-together from being kind of intimidating and overwhelming to being within reach with just a few tweaks. Thanks :)

  34. I found your blog about a month ago and started reworking my wardrobe. I, too, was in a jeans and tee (for fun) or jeans and sleeveless shell (for work) rut. I am having so much fun "shopping" in my closet. Coming up with new combinations and better ways to wear the clothes I already have. The last 2 Sundays, I have planned my wardrobe for the following week, down to the accessories and hung them as outfits in my closet. I am happy to say, that so far I have accomplished 10 days worth of work wear and not had the same outfit twice. I think I can get a minimum of 2 more weeks of unique outfits too! One think I need to work on is a better selection of bottoms. Most of my pants are dark or medium denim with 1 black and 1 gray thrown in. I would love a charcoal pant for fall. I think that would work wonders in my closet. Thank you for all the great advice. I am definitely a fan!

  39. You have seriously helped me to make some break-throughs. I have been in the "jeans-rut" for so long. I'm drawn to pretty tops above all other pieces of clothing so I end up with a bunch of shirts and a bunch of jeans which ends up being a bunch of boring with little room for creativity. I love being creative and am trying to see clothes as a way to do this. As a recent college-grad moving into the teaching world, my style has been forced to evolve since there's a no-jeans rule. Thanks for helping me to see that with just a few more key pieces and the right mindset I can get so much more enjoyment out of my wardrobe.

  42. Hi Audrey! I found your blog through another blog I follow and I love it! I read through all the way to the beginning and it was fun to see how your style has evolved. I have alot of "one hit wonders", as you would say, so am ready to follow your awesome tips and build a remixable wardrobe. I am so inspired by your blog and cannot wait to get started. I am a Jesus follower too and your love for Jesus is also a great inspiration. Thank you for sharing your blog...you are creative, funny, cute, honest and open.

  43. Hi Audrey! Quick question. I recently went thrifting and picked up a couple of really cute colored dress pants for the low. While they are my size in the waist, I did not think to check their lengths, and low-and-behold, two of the three pairs "flood". Do you have any advice on how to wear flooding pants with style, in other words, remix them? Or is it a lost cause? Thanks for any advice!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Haha, oh man. Honestly, it depends what your body shape is, where they hit you, and how wide the leg is. Cigarette pants are really trendy these days, and while they're shorter, they're super slim fit...but I also think that works best on a slimmer body type versus someone with larger hips. (picture linked here) If you're curvier and the pants are wider leg, I wouldn't recommend them. If you're leaner and the leg is wider, then you *might* be able to get away with pairing them with heels and a fitted top. But I really wouldn't be able to give you a good answer unless I could see what they looked like and what your shape is. Good luck!

  44. I stumbled across your blog while searching pinterest. I have been in a clothing rut for the past couple of years.

  45. So happy to have found your blog! I came across it on a search for dressing down a pencil skirt. I love that you shop at affordable stores and use things from places like Forever21 etc.. but keep them looking classic and cute, not overly trendy or cheap. I'm a young 31 in a creative career and am working hard to get my wardrobe up to snuff on a tight budget. Your before/after photos showing the change in an outfit is SO helpful. I feel like I 'know' all the principles you talk about... I too am a WNTW fan, but seeing specific examples is a big help. I just did a big closet clean out so I can do some fall shopping. Here's to not falling into the pitfalls of years past! :)

  48. Hi Audrey! Your blog is brilliant!! I found it through Pinterest. And every day since then, hundreds of others have repinned your photos. Anyway, I used to keep a binder of magazine pages and other photos of outfits for some fashion inspiration, but all they were all full of ONE HIT WONDERS! Since I've found you blog, I haven't looked at that binder once! And thank you so much for showing us not-so-fashion-savvy girls that a remixable wardrobe is also very affordable! Keep up the good work!

  49. I came across your blog via Pinterest and have to say that it's probably the most informative and educational style blog I've happened upon. I majored in Fashion in college and came from a family of dressmakers, so this all came pretty naturally to me but I found your blog to be a breath of fresh air among the hundreds of fashion blogs that focus more on consumerism than helping others. Your message is inspiring and the fact that you're helping hundreds of women discover/re-invent their style (in an affordable way) is so wonderful. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and you've gained another follower!

  50. Don't you love Pinterest for leading you to awesome things like this blog? It's really great! I'm always amazed when people seem to never wear the same thing twice just because they can remix their closet, so I'm thankful you're blogging about HOW to do that! Also, I have this skirt that I recently bought (black, a-line, with a polka dot fabric overlay thing), and because of the pattern, I can only think of one shirt I can wear with it! Any ideas? Thanks!

  51. Found you via Pinterest, and boy am I glad. I too am in the process of overhauling my wardrobe, and it's interesting to me that many style ideas you've presented are ones I have discovered in my search.

And then I read your post on traveling to Madison, and I was like, hmmm, I wonder if she works for Intervarsity? And then I read this - and I was right! Maybe not IV, but certainly something similar. Great blog and great style! Love the color, structure and clean lines. Definitely subscribed.

  64. I just found your blog in the last week. I have no idea how, as I've been pinning and clicking and browsing through all sorts of style blogs and whatnot (I'm turning 30 in a couple months and I think I'm having a mid-life style crisis! LOL!), but yours is the first I've felt like commenting on. Love it. Modest, easy, loved your remixable wardrobe series! And you wear flats and boots! I've seen other blogs that only seem to wear heels, and I find myself wondering if the outfits would look as cute in flats... I'm a stay at home mom to three little ones, and I live in Iowa (think lots of icy walking surfaces in the winter), so heels just aren't the most practical. All that to say, thank you, you're doing a great job!

  65. I found your blog last week on pinterest and I love it! I spent two hours just browsing through all of your posts and got so many ideas! I then remixed an old outfit for going out this past Friday just by adding a scarf and belt and it made the outfit feel brand new! I received so many compliments; it's amazing how adding just one or two things can change the look completely! Your blog is adorable and so informative. Keep it up, you're doing a great job!

    So it WAS you leading worship at Urbana! I came across your blog a few months ago via Pinterest and when I saw your picture in the handbook I thought, 'gee, she looks awfully familiar!'

  71. My daughter sent me a link to your blog and I can't begin to tell you how encouraging I've found it. Six months ago I had reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy. The results weren't what I had hoped for and I struggle to reclaim this "different me". Using your guidance, I have been able to use some of my existing wardrobe, and with a few new pieces greatly expand what I can wear. I feel so much better about approaching normal again!

  73. I don't recall how I found you, but I'm glad I did. The other day, I wore a t-shirt tucked into my jeans and wore a belt in my jeans. My friend, who is bluntly honest to a fault, bless her heart, told me, "You have a waist!" I laughed and nodded, immediately thinking about one of your posts. Thank you.

  78. Im searching for a fashion blog of someone that is comparable to my size. Im a size 6. Would you mind telling me if its close to your size for reference reasons?! THANKS! Everyone else I loook at are so teeny tiny with no bodies, they look beautiful but i have a hard time picturing myself in many of their outfits!

  79. I stumbled upon your blog today from Pinterest and just had to pass on my thanks! As a stay-at-home Mom (who loves Jesus like you :-)), I don't often get much past my standard jeans or yoga pants (read: pajamas). But, your blog inspired me to put a little more thought into my wardrobe for a weekend getaway with my hubby. Your tips and a recent weight loss allowed me to re-work pieces I mostly had packed in the recesses of my closet into a long weekend full of outfits that I feel confident and pretty in, and I didn't even spend any money! I can't wait to show them off to my hubby! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  80. Hi Audrey,

    I just discovered your blog yesterday (thanks Pinterest!) and have been reading and learning a lot. This morning I was inspired so got out a much loved but little worn top. It needs a cami to be decent but is too hot to wear with one so usually sits unworn. But not today! I grabbed a scarf I bought on impluse that doesn't match anything, drapped it around to cover the indecent bit of my top, tucked the ends into my top and now my black top looks like it has a funky cowl neck and nobody has to see more of my boobs than I or they want too :)

    Now I just need to find my a blogger like you whose pregnant so I can style stylish with my ever increasing stomach.

  81. Post idea!

    I want to learn how to wear scarfs. I see other people do cool knots or loops. Any advice?

  82. I just found your blogging looks like we have similar styles. I have the same hairstyle and a lot of the same type of clothes on your site. I am the queen of accessories and your blog is giving me some great ideas. I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids but try and stay in style. Can I ask how tall are you?

  83. Just found your blog today. Gotta love Pinterest. I wanted to say thank you!! I am going to be a freshman in college next year and this is exactly what I need to make over my wardrobe to look more polished and mature. I'm only 5 foot and look extremely young so your tips will help me look more mature and like a college student. Instead of still looking like a little girl in high school. Thank you!

  86. Hi Audry,

    I've been following your blog for a few months now after finding you through Pinterest and love it! I have been getting more creative with my wardrobe and your blog has inspired me to mix and match pieces from my closet. And thank you for introducing me to Go Chic or Go Home and StyleUp! I recently went through my closet and created several outfits similar to those you have posted. :)

  87. Hi Audrey, I just found your blog via Pinterest. This is not outfit related but I am wondering where you go to church. My husband and I are moving to San Diego next month. I've been mentally making a list of churches for us to visit in our search for finding a new church home. Thanks!

  88. Hi. Audrey, I love your blog and also found it trhough Pintrest. I wanted to ask you for any advise you have for me in regards to starting my own blog?

  89. Audrey I love your blog!! I stumbled upon your blog via Pinterest a month ago an have been hooked since. I found myself constantly buying cute shirts but my whole wardrobe was dark and I couldn't mix & match. I have been completely clueless about fashion even though I love clothes. I had a lot of blazers & cardigans but never knew how to pair anything much less consider rolling up sleeves!! lol I use to stick to basic safe colors but in the last month I have bought yellows, greens, etc...colors & patterns I didn't like before. I'm getting the hang of it now that I even returned a few recent purchases and saved me some $!! People at work have noticed and even my husband has complimented me often!! Thank you for your blog and the time to share your ideas! BTW I love Jesus too and dream of living in San Diego one day!! -Gina
