Do you have a dress in your closet that you’ve had for years and want to get more wear out of?  For me, it was this short dress.  But you can give a new life to most of the dress silhouettes in your closet by adding various pieces on top.  Think of your dresses like they’re skirts!  Here are a couple of tips I use with my clients when bringing new life to their dresses:

• Pair it with a sweatshirt and push up the sleeves.
• Add a short sleeve sweater or top over the dress, even if your dress has long sleeves.
• If your sweater is too long, add a belt around your waist and sloppy tuck the sweater in the front.
• Add any of the crop tops you have in your closet on top.
• Add a sweatshirt and a jean jacket on top.  More is more!
