Raid My Wardrobe

Look how I wore one item 3 stylish winter ways!

in Tips on 10/08/16

We are still in the last  few weeks of winter and it is about now that I begin to crave a season wardrobe change feeling stuck in a winter style rut.

So, instead of wearing my same go to outfits I decided to see if I could wear one item from my wardrobe in three stylish ways. I’d like to show you how easy it can be!

I choose my Seduce leather look vest with faux fur trim – a Raid My Wardrobe purchase from about 3 years ago that has definitely had it’s 30 wears and is a favourite of mine so naturally I love wearing it different ways.

So, here are the three ways I wore my vest:

Style #1

Faux fur vest over Metalicus wrap around dress with knee high boots. The vest looks fabulous over a pencil skirt too!

Style #2

Faux fur vest over skivvy with black Bardot skinny jeans (or leather look pants) and Wittner ankle boots.

Style #3

Faux fur vest over crisp white shirt with True Religion boyfriend jeans and Country Road peep-toe heels (’cause the sun came out and I braved the cold 🙂

Wearing one item 3 or more ways is very liberating:

* It has helped me keep things simple.

* I felt beautifully dressed each day with colours and style that suit my personality.

* I feel good knowing how easy it is to live with just a few items of clothing and still look fabulous and stylish.

Go to your wardrobe and choose an item and see how easy it is to wear it 3 ways this week. Take some pics and share them on our Facebook or Instagram page tagging @raidmywardrobe we’d love to see it!

Yours in all things preloved,
