7 ways to wear 1 dress! {outfit ideas by Lisa Leonard}

I had so much fun putting this post together. It could alternately be titled “me, me, me” because there are SO many photos of me. But then, this is my blog–so hopefully you’ll bear with me!

I took my favorite black dress and styled it 7 different ways.

Here’s the dress. I found it at one of my favorite thrift stores for $4. If I knew how much I was going to love this dress, I would have happily paid $100 for it. It’s turned into one of my go-to basics. I think it’s from the 90’s and I couldn’t find anything quite like it online. It’s really the skirt that makes this dress so great. I found this skirt at target–paired with a great black tank or tee and any of these looks would work! Black is a great basic–don’t you think?

For look 1. I styled the dress with a cozy brown sweater, a floral scarf and bronze boots that I thrifted in Texas last weekend. Score! Sweater, White Stuff {British Brand}. Floral scarf, Forever 21. Boots, Thrifted. Happiness Bracelet, My shop.

Look 2 is fun because it mixes stripes and leopard print. Easy and sweet! Sweater, Downeast basics. Leopard print heels, Target. Fossil Necklace, My shop.

Look 3 is a little preppy, don’t you think? Tie a white t-shirt at the waste and it creates a totally different look. I look for white button ups in the men’s section at thrift stores. A men’s small is like a women’s medium. Awesome! White button-up, thrifted. Denim jacket, Old Navy. Red wedges, Payless. Bangles, Thrifted. From Any Angle Necklace, My shop.

 

Look 4 is the sort of thing I throw on when it’s a crazy morning because it’s cozy and comfortable–but still put together. Striped wool sweater, BB Dakota. Brown booties, Steve Madden. Mustard scarf, Fair trade. I Love you bracelet, our Heartfelt collection–available here.

For look 5, how about a bright, bulky sweater to add some warmth and fun? I found this sweater on sale for $8–insane! Sweater, Target. Striped scarf, Target. Black wedges, Payless. I love you bracelet, from our Heartfelt collection–available here.

I wore Look 6 quite a bit last summer. It’s such an easy outfit. Safari vest, Old Navy. Nude wedges, Payless. Bangles, thrifted. Gold barrel necklace, Coming soon to my shop!

This last look is something I would wear for a date night. Denim jacket, Gap. Bib necklace, Target. Leopard clutch, Forever 21. Black booties, Seven for all Mankind {a Christmas gift from my mother in law–thanks Mom!}

And that’s it, friends! A whole weeks’ worth of outfits built around one dress. I love it!
