First of all, I guess I could be smiling in this photo, huh? Oh well. I was happy inside. Why? Because I was wearing my favorite colorful scarf (goes w/ everything) and because I like to stretch my wardrobe dollars as much as possible. This outfit does just that.
When I shop for my closet or take one of my clients shopping, I'm always looking for wardrobe pieces that extend a wardrobe. Like in this picture. This "second-hand" gray sheath dress (purchased for $4.99) actually looks like a straight skirt...NOT a dress.
That's the beauty of a sheath dress (or other basic pieces). You can layer underneath the dress with a shirt blouse or a turtleneck. However, many women don't ever think to layer OVER their dresses.
How about you? Have you layered over the top of your dresses, or is this look/style new to you? I'm interested in how you stylishly extend your wardrobe!

Our style should evolve to express our inner and outer beauty.
Life is so much better when we look and feel our best, don't you agree?

Sneek Peek Monday
Yup, I'm shopping at Goodwill this week! So many stylish bargains to be found (among the crap of course)
Good Monday morning y'all!
I'm excited about this week's topic...but then I can pretty much say that every week, can't I?
Since I'm a frugal girl at heart, it will be fun to share this week's style article called "Second-hand Sally"!
I've taken lots of pictures of outfits I've made from my frugal finds. I hope my outfits inspire you in your closet.
I'll also share tips to make your second-hand shopping a real treasure hunt!
