I am so excited for this post! In the past few weeks I've talked a little about the challenges we've had in moving to Westerly, RI. One of the challenges I have been dealing with is how to come up with new outfit ideas for the blog while working with a limited amount of clothing. I'm sorry to those of you who want to be able to buy the exact items I wear. That's just not easy right now because I am not buying many items. As a result of the move, I have had to limit my shopping budget while we plan for new house expenses and as I am delayed in getting a job (long story). But oddly enough, this has been a fun challenge! Since I am limited to the items I was able to fit in my suitcase (the rest of my clothes are in storage until next week!), I have been forced to figure out how to wear them in a new way!
Last week I pulled items out of my closet and started playing around, combining them in new ways. It was so fun to think out of the box! As I did that, I was reminded of a tip I learned from J's Everyday Fashion - repurpose your dress! A striped midi dress is a great option to have in your closet just for the versatility it offers. I showed two ways to wear this striped midi dress earlier in the spring. Today I want to show you how to repurpose your dress by layering it under a skirt! I don't have a lot of long-sleeved shirts right now, as most of the clothes I packed were planning for summer weather, but as the hurricane (my first!!) moved north our weather started to cool. Enter striped midi dress.
Repurpose your dress from summer or spring by wearing a skirt over the top! I have done this by layering a light dress under a pencil skirt but I think it works best with A-line skirts because if the fabric bunches up under the skirt, it is less noticeable.
I am pretty proud of this new combination! Plus, I'm so happy to share my new black purse for fall and winter! Once again, the MG Collection from Amazon comes through for me by making a quality product for a great price!
Look through your closet! How can you repurpose your dresses for fall? If you try it, make sure to tag @moretomrse on Instagram or let me know how you got creative in the comments below! I'm excited to see your combinations!
