Most of our clothes are multi-purpose garments, but what do you see when you open up your closet? You likely see dresses, skirts, pants, shirts, etc. and think of them only as such. We tend to see our clothes as their marketed use, rather than all of their styling possibilities.
Because of this, we might think we need to buy more to spruce up our wardrobe. But the truth is, there’s more you can do with what you have. All it takes is a little willingness to try new things and style outside the box!
Dresses can be skirts, skirts can be dresses, shirts can be dresses, lingerie can be tops or dresses, and even jackets can be dresses! The list goes on and oftentimes, the potential for styling options just depends on each individual garment.
When you see the outfit I’m wearing in this post, you would never guess that it’s actually a dress and not a skirt. That’s the power of vision and layering! Where would we be without layering? It’s in The Grunge Girl bible! I took a strappy, summer dress and added a cropped turtleneck sweater along with a vest. To complete the look, I added a waist belt, snake tights, and brown Docs.
The magic happens when you play with your outfits! A little inspiration helps, too! So the next time you think you need something new, look at your closet in a new way. You might be surprised at what new outfits you can create with what you already own!
