Style Diary: Convertible dresses
I love making wardrobe pieces do double-duty. One dress can for example be worn with a cardigan, tights and boots for winter, alone with strappy sandals for summer, and tucked under a skirt shown as a blouse. I’m really into to the tuck conversion right now. Here are a couple examples.
This calico printed ruffle dress (found at TJMaxx for only $19.99) is worn as 2 very different outfits below. First, the dress is tucked under a ruffled skirt and next it is worn outside the skirt with the skirt ruffles peeking out from underneath. Of course this only works with thin fabrics in order not to appear too bulky.
I love getting new ideas from others so how do you suggest I wear the skirt and/or dress next? How would you style these pieces?
Below, see how Joey Brooke and I took the same heart-printed dress from Forever 21 (about $20) and wore them completely differently.
