Wardrobe Versatility: One Dress Three Ways

All That Glitters: How to style a patterned dress three ways! She has cute clothes and each post tells where she gets them!

One of the most important things I want to give to my readers is the knowledge that you can take your wardrobe further than you ever thought possible. Yes, don’t get me wrong I love to shop and it’s great to buy new things each season, but I can always find a new fun way to remix something I already own as well. When I buy new things I like to sit in the dressing room and think of multiple different ways to wear an item. There are ALWAYS multiple ways:)

This dress was purchased back in August and I have now documented three totally different ways of wearing it here on the blog. That’s not even mentioning the other 3 or 4 ways I have worn it that just never made it to the photography stage. A lot of women would look at a dress like this, add a necklace to it and maybe some heels and they would wear it pretty much the same way every time it came out of the closet. THIS! This is why we get sick of our wardrobes so quickly! We don’t mix and match our items! We don’t get creative and wild with our wardrobe pieces! Mixing it up is what will keep you excited about your clothing options. Add a hat, add a scarf, add a different scarf, add a DIFFERENT scarf. Layer on a vest or a cardigan. Put it over a chambray shirt. Add a belt to it or choose different shoes. Pattern mix! There are SO many things you can do to change the look of any outfit you put on, you just have to be inspired:) So, here I am, that’s my job….to inspire you! Today I have 3 ways to wear this printed shirt dress!

Don’t let the fact that you don’t have this EXACT dress hold you back, take the accessories and add them to a fun patterned dress that you already have in your closet! And to show you that ALL of these pieces are versatile, here are a few posts for the other items showing them styled with other outfits!

Look 1:

Bow Booties (here & here)

Handbag (here, here, & here)

Necklace (here & here)

Look 2:

Floppy Hat (here, here, & here)

Boots (here, here, here, here..pretty much all last fall/winter)

Handbag (here, here, here)

Look 3:

Fur Vest (here)

Handbag- (here, here, here)

Heels- These are pretty new, I’ll link back here when I post them again:)

Now, tell me honestly. If I came to work in one of these outfits per week, three weeks in a row would you say, “Oh, that Megan, she’s wearing that same boring dress again.”?

You always look so cute! I wish I could pull off all of that. You have inspired me to mix and match though so I will keep this in mind next time I go into my closet.
