We all have that favorite dress.  We wear it with sandals in the summer, and boots in the fall with a cardigan over it, swapping out our jewelry for a little variety. Here are some ideas to help you get more use of our your wardrobe!

Add a Sweater

Forget the cardigan, and throw on a chunky cable knit.  Everyone will think you have a cute new skirt.

Add a Skirt

Add a skirt over your dress!  Instant. new top, and a little more volume to your skirt.  Pleats are in at the moment!

Add a Blazer or Vest

The sleeveless blazer was very popular this fall, so throw it on over your dress to make it more trendy!  Too cold?  Wear one with sleeves!  Don’t have a or sleeveless blazer or jacket?  Any vest will work! It will add variety and texture, breathing new life into your well loved dress.

Put a Shirt on It

Denim pairs perfectly over a dress!  Wear it unbuttoned for a casual undone look, or button it up and fold it under itself, using a belt to hold it in place.  It makes it look like you have tucked your shirt into a skirt!

Over Pants

This popular trend is starting to come back!  Skip the skinny jeans and wear something with a wider leg.  Jeans can always be an option, but they will look best under a dress with a neutral or similar color palate (like the navy in this dress).  Don’t think denim is your only option!  Anything with a similar color palate will pair beautifully together, and keep your legs warm as winter rages.

Over a Turtleneck

Turtlenecks are all over the place this winter, and its one trend I am happy about.  Winter in Maine can be brutal, and they are a great way to stay warm.  Throw one under you dress to be cozy and trendy!

Over a Button Up Shirt

Wear your sleeveless dress over a button up shirt for an warmer, and not to mention work appropriate look!  White is always classic, but a monochromatic color palate with different fabric textures can give you a more modern look!
