As for the organizing part of this whole clothing business, unless you have a closet sized as the Kardashian's, it can become a challenge, but if you are smart and live by the rule of periodical purging, it is doable. Now that I've switched from buying just about anything to buying just what I need, my closet is more under control. My new secret weapon: quality over quantity. Also over time I've learn't to mix and match aka recycle my existing clothing pieces to recreate fresher looks. It used to be a task but now it's a breeze.
Having said that, I am putting myself to a self-proclaimed challenge of wearing one dress, two different ways. Let me know how I fared against the "repurposing-meter"!!!
dress as top- c/o LEOTA, buy same jeans- Gap heels - Zara, few sizes left here blazer- Zara
I AM WEARING
dress- c/o LEOTA, buy same jacket- H&M sneakers - Aldo Shoes, buy same metal clutch- Sam Edelman
Today, I am wearing my Leota maxi dress, two different ways : 1) AS A DRESS : the first look is sophisticatedly-casual, more like greek-goddess inspired in gold and white. Wearing this dress with a killer pair of sexy high heels would have been so predictable, hence I opted for a pair of white sneakers. It was a big sartorial leap, but I loved playing down the dress. To tone it further down, came in the white denim jacket.
2) AS A TOP : the second look is undeniably sporty-chic. With the ripped jeans, statement cap and those booties, this look screams edgy-done-right. I have to admit, this dress was the easiest to transform. Owing to the lightweight fabric, I was able to wear the dress as a top, sans any bulk. I was always impressed with how effortlessly bloggers wore their dresses as tops, and having tried that myself " I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A PAT ON MY BACK " for giving it a spin. I tucked in the dress, topped off with the blazer to hide any back-bunching and edged it up with those shooties.
In my opinion, I did well styling the dress, what do you think ? Which look is your favorite ?
