Welcome to week one of the Challenge Your Closet link-up/party/challenge.
Like I said, this is going to be a weekly post where I show you outfits that I've created from my closet, forcing me to use what I have and not buy new. Some weeks I may recreate something I've seen on Pinterest or make an upscale look my own. The point is, no matter what, I'll use items from my own closet. This week I wanted to take one dress and show you how to style it 3 different ways. Groundbreaking, I know. This dress is just a navy shirt dress from H&M. I got it last summer and it was well worth it's $12 price tag. I'm kicking myself for not buying it in more colors when I had the chance. It's simple, comfortable, and very easy to style.
Look 1
This look is a casual one. I would wear this out running around at the mall with KP or just to go to the grocery store. I added a white leather/studded belt from American Eagle, white leather/studded flip flops from Kohls and the necklace and earrings are from Premier Jewelry.
Look 2
This one is a bit more "dressy". Maybe for an afternoon girls lunch date or something of the sort. This time the belt is from Forever21 and actually came with another dress. The necklace and wedges are from New York & Co.
Look 3
With fall right around the corner I wanted to have a fall option. I added a mustard cardigan from NY&Co, boots from Target {I've blogged about them here}, belt that came with another dress from Target and the necklace was given to me by my grandma.
See how easy that was? Now I'm no fashion blogger and these pictures were totally awkward for me to take. Where do I look? Do I smile? Thank God I live in the country and no neighbors had to be witness to this embarrassing series of pics!
So what'd you come up with? Are you committed to this challenge?

I love the dress in the last shot with the sweater and boots. The color of that sweater goes so well with your skin tone and necklace... I might have to see what I cano do in my own closet.
ReplyDeleteFun link up idea!
Love this dress! I love the color too.
ReplyDeleteLove the dress, so versatile :)
ReplyDeleteThat was a great job! I am dying at the look on your face in #3. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the dress and I adore it with the sweater and boots combo. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI love that dress and all your combinations! I always want to try a summery dress with boots, and it just never seems to look right! I'm going to give it a try again though with a belt and a colorful cardigan after seeing yours!
ReplyDeleteAnd I had a great idea for you! You should print off the series of pictures for each "main" piece of clothing and put them in a photo album for your closet, so you can flip to the "dress" section and just grab an outfit!
I love love love the fall look so very much!
ReplyDeleteThe fall outfit is my favorite! AFTER I fix my hair (lol) I will go try this in my closet and link up! Love this link up!
ReplyDeletelove this!! the last outfit is my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteWahoo! 1st to link up! Seriously such cute outfits! This might be bad because I'm just going to buy more stuff! I might try to do this too for next week. Don't know if any of my dresses are so versatile.
ReplyDeleteHow...cute...are...you! Love the color of the dress.
ReplyDeleteI love the fall outfit! I'm so ready for fall and boots, and sweaters (but alas I'm in NC and we won't hit that until at least Halloween). And I love you smiling in the photos- definitely makes the outfits ;-)
ReplyDeleteLike the person above me, I'm in NC. But I'll give into the boots and sweaters long before Halloween...beauty is pain! RIGHT?!
ReplyDeleteahhhh! I LOVE LOVE look number 3!!! Okay, can you please come to my closet and dress me??? I suck at this game!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait until next week to see more of your outfits and the link ups. I've become lazy with my outfits/hair/make up that I'm using this as inspiration to "try" a little harder!
ReplyDeleteI am not committed to this challenge...I NEED that cardigan.

ReplyDeleteLove the outfit with the boots!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure people in the country have seen much stranger things!
Ok, I totally need to do this. I am always always saying that I have nothing to wear but that is because I seem to always wear the same things. I really do have a closet full of stuff that I could easily mix & match if I wanted to.
ReplyDeleteI so need to do this with my maternity clothes and get away with wearing them more often :) I really love the last outfit you had on with the boots and sweater!! So Ohio fall style!
ReplyDeleteI love that yellow sweater!
ReplyDeleteI love all three looks, hot mama! I am such a summer girl but your mustard yellow sweater and boots make me want fall to come around!
ReplyDeleteLooove all the looks. This is something that I need to do. Now that I'm almost back to pre pregnancy weight I need to try all my clothes on and shop my closet. Can't wait to see your next one!
ReplyDeleteI had a similar navy dress that I had to retire recently because it was worn out! Looks like I should definitely find a replacement next year...and more belts!
ReplyDeleteI am not committing to this challenge, but I'm committing to observing your commitment! I love what you did, but especially love the third, fall option. It makes me want to go buy cardigans and boots, except that it's still 90 degrees out. *angry face*
