One of the things I always ask myself when I find a piece of clothing I like while shopping is, ‘What are different ways you can wear this piece with items already in your closet?’
More than anything else, I’ve found this is a way to prevent myself from buying pieces that don’t transition well or can only be worn one way. I like to get the most bang for my buck and so you can expect to see this ‘Ways to Wear’ series quite frequently.
I bought this shirt a little over a year ago and never imagined it would be as versatile as it has been. It is sold out, but I’m linking some similar options in case you decide you need one.
3. Straight Cut Shirt in Dark Blue/Dotted
The polka dot button down is usually my solution when I don’t know what to wear. In a previous blogging excursion, I participated in a 30 x 30 challenge (30 items of clothing used to create 30 different outfits) and I know if I were ever to do that again, I would definitely use this shirt. It’s perfect for pattern mixing as seen here.
The double dots are fun and bright and the striped vest is a fun way to pattern mix and still stay warm. This J Crew Inspired vest was purchased from Adorabelles, a boutique that a friend of mine runs.
Keeping up with the navy and white theme, I broke out this skirt as a pattern mixing look that color matches.
Which is your favorite look?
