Reimaging!

Dress: Mango; Floral Trench Coat: Zara; Shes: Zara; Earrings: Vintage

When I talk about reimagining clothes, I'm not even talking about crazy things like using dresses as skirts or altering a garment or anything like that. I'm talking about simple things.  I had such a limited view of a garment that the way I saw it on the rack was the only way I understood I could wear it.  What I learned from my stalking escapade was that I had more control of the clothes than I thought, even without alterations.

 Don't take a garment at face value.  Don't disregard an item because it's too baggy or too long.  Play around with clothes and see if you can make them work for different scenarios. Just like the way I am playing this coat with my casual red dress. These two pieces are so versatile, trust me I can pair both of them in 10 different ways. As you can tell, there are a LOT of options you can use to make a garment work for you.

Also don’t be afraid to wear light and colorful hues, you can a la Blair Waldorf. – pastels are one of fall’s surprising trends so feel free to use a piece or two from your spring and summer wardrobe for your layering needs. Being a girl has its perks and disadvantages. For one, shopping is much more fun because women’s style and fashion is more varied compared to men’s and there are more style, prints, patterns, colors and designs to choose from.

Until then, go play with your clothes!
