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.
