When I first started this blog I was so concerned with wearing something different every day. My goal was to not repeat any outfits for as long as I could… (I know, crazy, right?!)
However, in reality- that’s not very realistic. Most of us only have a limited number of items in our closets, so of course we repeat outfits!
The key is, to try make each outfit look original and different. This is done by choosing accessories and layering.
For example, the dress I’m wearing today I’ve worn several times- as seen here and here and here.
Today I’ve paired it with a bright orange cardigan, a colorful belt and off white wedges.
When I originally saw this dress I didn’t like the way it fit at all- it’s too loose and unstructured. But- it was on clearance, and you know I love my stripes- so I decided to see if I could find a way to make it work. By simply adding a belt- I have given this dress the shape it needs. This may seem really obvious, but until recently I would have never added a belt if there weren’t any belt loops! Don’t let a simple thing like that stop you from creating the look you desire!
