By adding a few simple
accessories I turned an old dress (on the verge of becoming a Saturday morning
errand dress) into an outfit I love and have put into regular rotation in my
wardrobe.
I bought this dress a few years ago at my favorite store, LOFT.

By itself, it’s just a cute, plain, black cotton dress. It’s
super comfortable and got quite a lot of wear, but after about three years of
wearing and washing it, I decided the dress just wasn’t work appropriate
anymore and it needed to stay in my closet until the more relaxed weekend
rolled around. [sidenote: I don’t know why I even worried about it not being
work appropriate, I work in non-profit arts, pretty much anything is work
appropriate there.]
A few weeks ago I went outlet shopping and picked up a pink
and purple floral print cardigan (that I love, why didn’t I buy more in other
colors?) and a thick white belt that have helped transform this tired black
dress into a much better version of itself. The belt broke up the otherwise
boring dress and the cardigan added plenty of color to really pop the outfit. I
added my favorite black wedges and the super cute Isadora Pearl Bib necklace
from Stella & Dot and viola – I now have a new favorite outfit.
Just by taking a few extra minutes each morning and
selecting a couple extra pieces, I have taken this dress from drab to fab! (Yes, I totally just went there and
got super cheesy!)
