From My Sister’s Closet
I am often told, “Oh my gosh, I would’ve never imagined putting those colors and that top and bottom together.” Your closet can be a fairy land of fun. All the colors, prints, fabrics, styles, and accessories; what more could a girl want?… NEW CLOTHES!!!! Not so fast. Shopping in our own closet can be exciting and I can help you! There are so many new outfits you didn’t know existed. They don’t call me a Re-Stylist because it sounds cool. I’m here to help you whip up new looks from pieces you already own. You’ll forget you once had ‘Nothing to Wear.’
Here’s a sheath dress you can flip and repurpose. Navy is the new black. Let’s have some fun and be inspired by bold prints+pattern, fresh colors and stylish accessories you already own.
From my sister’s closet: I styled one Forever 21 dress into five new looks from pieces she already has.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money to look like you did.
Look 2: Saturday Shopping
‘A Fashionista Forecast.’ The weather is crisp, the sun is alive and the temperature says,” come and play.”
There’s nothing stopping her from hitting her favorite stores and outdoor plazas. The dress turns into a comfort piece paired with a Cherry cardigan, citrus yellow skinny belt, leopard ballet flats and the perfect faux snakeskin green shopping bag.
Wear a cardigan unbuttoned and belt the dress instead. Be daring and combine opposing prints. There’s something about opposites that seem to attract. The dress and flats may seem like frienemies, but when grouped with the entire ensemble, it all works.
Bag- The Limited (splurge)
Skinny Belt- Forever 21
Ballet Flats- Kmart
Look 3- Casual Chic
Denim is always a great way to notch down a piece from dressy to casual. I love a tailored crop jean jacket. Feel free to wear one with any dress. I styled the dress with this dark denim one from Forever 21. Our color pop came from the sunset orange belt and blue suede peeptoes.
Jacket- Forever 21
Peeptoe Pumps- Kohls
Beaded Belt- vintage- Austin, Tx
Look 4: Subtle Power Suit
- Spring Power Suit-
For Look 4, we paired the dress with a pale cream, textured Old Navy blazer, blush pumps, a patent chocolate skinny belt, and a intelligent laptop. There’s nothing wrong with accessorizing with a pair of smart opticals.
Blazer- Old Navy
Pumps- Target
Laptop- MacBook
Pearl Bangle- Forever 21
Look 5: Day to Dinner
No need to bring a wardrobe change to the office. We’re keeping the dress, blush heels, pearl bracelet and patent skinny belt. We pull back the hair, add some shoulder skin, and a pop of color with our staple splurge luscious green Pashmina from Nordstrom.
How cute! I love how you styled each one of these looks! I honestly can’t choose which I like the best!
