Style: Endless Style Options!

Heya! I love finding new ways to style items in my closet. A great way to save money is to buy a versatile item, like this black pleated skirt from H&M, and wear it with different items I already own, to create create endless style options! And for less than $40, this pleated skirt is a fabulous addition to my wardrobe. I styled 3 different looks with my new H&M skirt with pieces I found in my closet. 

The first look I created was a fun and funky outfit, perfect for meeting friends on a sunny patio or an afternoon visit to an art gallery. I love adding fun and whimsy to an outfit with cartoon prints.

 

The second look I created is a simple elegant outfit that would be great to wear to a garden party or meeting friends for cocktails at a trendy restaurant. I kept with the pleated flowing feel of the skirt with a loose pleated top, and added some pops of bright colour with my clutch and shoes.

 

The third outfit I styled is a fun casual look, perfect for an afternoon of shopping with friends. With the weather being a little unpredictable in the Spring, adding a denim jacket and a scarf, are great layering options that are also stylish.

The Details!: Look 1: Black Skirt from H&M / Top from Hot Topic / Belt from Hot Topic / Expression Wedge Boots from Hudson's Bay / Mizdragonfly Bracelet

Look 2: Black Skirt from H&M / Top from H&M / J. Vincent Shoes / Feather Clutch from Aldo / Vintage Necklace

And P.s!: Clean out your closet and see what hidden gems you have in there! Then next time you go shopping, you can make a smart purchase of a versatile fashion item, that can easily be styled into your wardrobe. Even though the black skirt is my only recent purchase, the other items I styled are probably similar to what is in your closet (scarf, fun tops, denim jackets, boots). Hope my fun examples help you create some fabulous looks!

P.s,

Melanie!
