1 Dress, 2 Different Ways of Wearing It! {My Style}

You might remember this grey dress from one of my Chicago outfits that I wore this past summer. I usually try to wear my clothes in many different ways depending on the season. It is amazing how you can completely changed the look of the outfit with changing a few minor things.

Since it is cooler out I wanted to show you what I did different: For this outfit I added black tights, black leather shoes, a fake black leather jacket with a grey handbag.

I don’t know if any of you know this, but since our wedding Brandon and I have been living at his mom’s house because our new house actually flooded the day we bought it. Since we are in the middle of fixing everything up, I don’t have my usually wardrobe because a lot of it is still boxed away.

Repeating outfits and changing up how they look have been a necessity around here. Although it is hard to imagine, I am beginning to like living a little more simple. It is amazing how much faster I get ready in the morning when I only have a few things to choose from.

Now I must ask, what do you like about the way I changed up this grey dress? Have you ever felt like completely changing a statement peace in your wardrobe?

Homemade Hair Bands

Who will agree with me that a women can not seem to get more than a few uses out of her tights before something happens to them? They always seem to snag on something or get a whole in them where they can no longer be used. I thought to myself there has to be something else I can do with these tights besides just throwing them away.

Before I knew it I ended up with an entire bag of ruined tights. I then remembered someone once telling me that you can use them for many different things including hair bands. So I decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did. I always seem to lose my hair bands and this was free to make my own. Win-Win!

Here is a short video showing you just what I did to make them.

Will someone please tell me that I am not the only person that misplaces small hair accessories? I will either lend them to someone with no intention of getting them back or I just flat out leave them in places they don’t belong and forget where I put them. Either way I find myself always buying more each time I am at the store.

Once you are all done turning your tights into hair bands you are going to need a place to put them all so you won’t lose them like I use too. I like to store mine on a Mason Jar turned upside-down. They fit on there perfect and you will never lose them.

This is a great way to keep your hair or bangs out of your face!

Do you find yourself in the same situation I was in? Do you think this will help you to be able to not only reuse your tights but save money as well? What else do you do with your old tights? I would love for you to share or even post a link.

Thanks for reading.

A Bit of Edge

In my personal opinion I think there are at least 10 essential items that one should have with in their wardrobe. One of those 10 items should be a leather coat. A leather coat has a lot of class and can last forever if you take care of it the right way.

Here I am wearing a black leather coat with black skinnies, grey boots, a grey clutch, silver accessories and a black and grey scarf to tie the whole outfit together.

I also styled my hair to have these big loose curls that you see a lot of the movie stars wear. It is a lot easier to do than you would think. I will be posting about how it do this exact style so don’t forget to subscribe to my blog so it will be sent right to your email.

Everyone Needs a Little Black Dress!

You can never go wrong with a little black dress!

When I think of a black dress, a number of things come to mind. I think of romance, something formal or elegant, being able to dress it up or down, along with looking and feeling slim.

The importance of a black dress is more that just being able to say you have one. I won’t even mention that I have 5 of them. It can be worn on any and every occasion depending on how you wear it and what you pair it with.

Just think about this for a second… Is there anything that doesn’t go with the color black? Don’t be scared to add a pop of color or to keep it classic with all of your neutrals.

But, the very most important thing about having a little black dress in your closet is making sure that it actually gets a chance to get out of the closet. You deserve a night out no matter what the occasion is.

Just remember to have a good time!
