What I Wore | Repeat

WhatIWore: One of the things that’s important to me on the blog is to share the kinds of things I really wear on any given day. I’ve hinted at some of my frustrations lately and one of them is the unending cycle of buy buy buy that seems to been required to keep up a fashion blog. And I’m not slamming shopping. I like shopping! But I do not like the idea of disposable clothing or only wearing something once. I wear my clothes often, especially if I really like something. I hope you feel like you can repeat (and repeat and repeat) the pieces in your closet that make you feel good, regardless if they’re this season or ten seasons old. 

Take this dress for example! I bought it (with the matching jacket!) last fall and I’ve worn both pieces quite a bit. It layers nicely with a jacket or tights, but is a cute sundress with flat sandals and a hat too! Click below to see the other ways I’ve styled it!

When: June(ish?)

What:
Hat: Self Made:
Shades: Karen Walker
Dress: Banana Republic

Where: Out and About with Felix

See Also: Worn with a pink jacket and sandals, an olive jacket and boots and layered with tights, all from last fall. 

What I Wore | Summer Layers

WhatIWore: I was a bit stumped getting ready this morning. I kept gravitating towards wearing a black skirt or chambray top but I’ve been doing a lot of that lately. Plus it’s a little on the gloomy side out today and I just didn’t feel like putting a lot of effort into an outfit. This one came together quickly though and is an easy look to recreate in your own closet with a summer printed dress and army green jacket. I actually lopped the sleeves off this one on an especially hot day a few summers ago and appreciate how I can layer it and still not be over heated (see another way I’ve worn it here). It’s cool anyways here this morning (what’s up with this summer weather!?!) so it worked out perfectly.
