One Outfit, Two Looks

Hey y’all! Do you ever find yourself with a closet full of clothes, yet you only wear the same three shirts weekly? I do this all the time! I have so many clothes hanging in my closet just waiting for me to finally wear them, but I always go for my favorite basics such as a simple pocket tee. Why? Because they are so comfortable and easy to pair with anything from a mini skirt, blue jeans, or even leggings!

If you're like me and find yourself scavenging for new looks while using the repeat garments you wear on the daily, it's time to mix it up. I have teamed up with my twin sister and created two different looks with similar garments, creating a casual and a more dressy way to wear the same look. I will show you how easy it is to take something so simple and casual such as a tee shirt dress, and create a more stylish look to it. I hope you can take some inspiration from this post and find new everyday looks in your closet instead of just sticking to your regular norm.

THE LOOKS

LOOK ONE: Chambray Button Down Shirt

This basic garment is so easy to dress up or down. As you can see, we created a more casual look perfect for a shopping date or a casual lunch (pictured on left) and a dressier look (pictured on right) for more of a business formal occasion such as a special dinner.

LOOK TWO: Striped T-Shirt Dress (Black and White)

Who knew wearing a dress could be comfy? Above are two different ways to style a simple striped dress. Dress it up by throwing on an oversized sweater paired with booties (pictured on left). If you like comfortability, you can always dress it down with a pair of cute sneakers and a denim shirt tied around the waist (pictured on right).

LOOK THREE: Red and Black Plaid Flannel

I am sure you have seen this flannel everywhere! It is a common plaid seen on flannels and even pajamas. It is typical to compare flannels to a casual, comfy look. However, if you want to create a more trendy look wearing this flannel, pair it with block-heeled booties and a floppy hat (pictured on left).

LOOK FOUR: Boyfriend Jeans

The perfect jean for just about any occasion! These jeans are so comfy and can be easily styled as casual or more dressed up. If you are all for comfort, go for a look with sneakers, a graphic tee and a baseball hat. If you like to add a little style to your looks, go for the look pictured on the left. Pair the Boyfriend Jeans with cute flats and a flowy blouse.

LOOK FIVE: Denim Jacket

Last but not least, the most common staple item, a denim jacket. Denim can be worn in various ways. Whether you wear a denim jacket over a dress or pair it with leggings, this garment is bound to pull together your look.

Now its your turn! Step away from your typical norm wearing the same basic garments the same way everday and style it differently. You will be amazed at how many outfits you can create with one look!
