Re-Vamping a Wardrobe

11-08-14-Work Outfit

Do you ever have those moments where you look in your closet and just hate everything? Nothing is inspiring because it has been worn a million times. That’s exactly how I felt this morning.

In an effort to not spend a million dollars on a new wardrobe, I’m looking for ways to spice up my current wardrobe. I’m experimenting with ways  to take my more conservative outfits that I might not have worn to work and mix them into the rotation with a formal jacket or dark tights.

This dress is a perfect example of a piece that can go from work to dinner and drinks with friends. It’s a fun piece but still formal enough for work by having a long hemline and sleeves.

If you were to visit my apartment you would find a sea of nautical items. Growing up near the beach, it’s close to my heart. I don’t think I could ever go too far from water. There’s something about the smell and relaxing feeling I get by being near it that I could never give it up.

I incorporate a nautical theme into my wardrobe by picking items that are brightly colored with sea creatures or plants. This dress brings out the bright colored coral that dots the ocean floor. I paired it with a bright green to imitate the ocean and make the deep reds stronger.

Vintage and 70’s style clothing is fun to incorporate into your everyday wardrobe. Leopard is a great neural that you can bring it into the little details. This outfit brings in leopard in a lot of little ways from her sunglasses to handbag. The structured fit of her clothing helps to give this vintage outfit a modern take.
