Outfit Inspiration, Tips & Tricks | July 19, 2015

Reinvent it

rag & bone/JEAN 'M15' Military Jacket/ Nordstrom Anniversary SaleWell, I have never been one to wait and wear my new clothes. If I buy something new, I have to wear it right away! I’ve been like this ever since I was little. So naturally I was going to find a way to wear my new Nordstrom Anniversary army jacket! Even if I was slightly hot walking to the car in 97 degree heat. Not to worry, I was cold everywhere else -ha!rag & bone/JEAN 'M15' Military Jacket/ Nordstrom Anniversary SaleI love how this jacket gives you a waistline even if there is no waistline clearly defined. Like in this picture, the black cotton sundress basically just hangs straight (which makes it extremely comfortable!). But when I put this crop jacket on top, it gave it the illusion of a waistline even though dress doesn’t have one.
rag & bone/JEAN 'M15' Military Jacket/ Nordstrom Anniversary SaleAlthough this dress is really comfortable, it has it’s issues (as so many things in our closet’s do). But with a little creativity, I whipped this dress into shape -ha!  I don’t really like the hem line of this dress (it’s too long in the back and midi length in the front), but I love the way it looks when I tie a knot on the side (the knot post here). Another thing about this dress is it always shows my bra straps, and the back shows my bra (which is why I usually wear it as a cover up). But my new jacket hides these issues! So in the end, the dress stays in my closet, because I’ve been able to make it work as a cover up and by using a couple of tricks as well. Do you have an item like this is your closet?
rag & bone/JEAN 'M15' Military Jacket/ Nordstrom Anniversary SaleI love wearing tennis shoes with dresses. To me, it’s an unexpected cool, casual look, and it works so well for my lifestyle. Who knew I was going to love these black high tops so much?!?! There are some really great similar ones (here), and there is another great pair in the Anniversary Sale (here). rag & bone/JEAN 'M15' Military Jacket/ Nordstrom Anniversary SaleOh, and I couldn’t help but wear my new earrings, too! So, did you think of something you can reinvent in your closet?
