How To Create 3 Different Outfits Out Of 1 Simple Black Dress

If you're on a budget like I am, you know what it feels like to not be able to shop for new clothes: awful! When you’re overdue for a new set of clothes, all that occupies your mind is the worry that people will begin to realize how many times you wear the same outfit each week. Ladies, your worries stop here because I am supplying you with three ways to completely transform your favorite, simple black dress. After reading, you will have three brand new outfits, all created from the same simple black dress. Remember, on top of the tips I supply you with, accessories such as shoes and sunglasses are key to transforming your simple black dress and creating new outfits. Check out my blog below to see how I style my own simple black dress in order to create three completely different outfits!

1. Add a pair of pants or leggings.


This is the perfect way to transform your simple black dress. Adding a pair of ripped jeans or an edgy pair of leather leggings gives the illusion that you are rocking a completely different outfit. Having your dress serve as a long top will give you a sleek, high fashion look. Throw it on with a cardigan, a pair of boots or heels, and you're ready to go!

2. Belt or flannel.

A belt or flannel is a great accessory to add to your simple black dress in order to give the dress a different look. If your black dress is right above the knee and flowy, tie a flannel around your waist and pull a little bit of the dress out and over the tied flannel in order to shorten your dress. The same can be done with a belt. This gives you a new look because the dress has been shortened. Belts can be added to any black dress, no matter the cut, in order to create a new feel to the dress. Throw on a flannel to create a more casual look or tie it around your waist for a street inspired look.

3. Add a sweater.

This is my favorite technique for creating a new outfit. Throwing a sweater over your simple black dress immediately changes up the entire look. No one will recognize your dress because of the amount of style a sweater can bring to the outfit. Play around with the sweater of your choice to get different looks, reveal one shoulder, both shoulders, or no shoulders to communicate a certain vibe for your look.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
