The Purpose of Repurposing

I’m such a fan of things that serve more than one use. Don’t even get me started on Circle Scarves from American Apparel (which come with a card showing you all the ways they can be worn). I try to limit myself to buying one Circle Scarf a year, because if I let myself do what I wanted, I’d have about a hundred of them.

Imagine my delight to realize that certain dresses can double as skirts.

 This dress in its original form has a scoop neck and cap sleeves. I threw a studded tee and a blazer over it, added a pair of tights in a different grey tone, finished off with some edgy boots, and created an outfit with a completely different vibe than the dress has ever given me before.

Take some time to think about things hanging in your wardrobe that could be worn a different way. You may find that repurposing saves you some cash!

I've linked up with longdistanceloving today for a link-up that is supposed to be based on an "outfit crush" found on another blog. Truth is, I have a crush on SO MANY of the outfits my beautiful blog friends have created, that I couldn't possibly choose my favorite one to emulate.
