One Blue Dress, Seven Ways
I challenged myself to create seven days of outfits out of a single, super cheap blue dress I got on Amazon. How did I do?First, the dress in question:
I purchased this dress on Amazon for about $25! It arrived in two days! It has pockets! It's machine washable! SO MANY EXCLAMATION POINTS. Bonus: As the product description so helpfully points out, it's "Fun to Wear!" 
And now... the outfits...
OUTFIT ONE: Go, Sailor!
(Pro-tip: It might help to listen to Go Sailor by Go Sailor while you look at this one.) This is what I would wear to commandeer a ship. Who would dare defy me in this getup? NO ONE.What I Added:
- navy boatneck sweater – J.Crew
- navy double-breasted jacket – Lauren Ralph Lauren at Bloomingdales
- handmade textile necklace – superlittlecute on Etsy
- white leather ballet flats – Avec Les Filles at Bloomingdales
OUTFIT TWO: Almost Minimalist
I would love to be one of those super sleek, minimalist ladies who always look timeless and chic, but, omg, I LOVE stuff. Spangly, shiny, sparkly stuff! So, I added these fancy earrings for a little extra "me."What I Added:
- charcoal turtleneck sleeveless tunic – Gap
- grey, faux suede trench coat – Zara
- charcoal OTK wedge boots – Stuart Weitzman
- sparkly earrings – Kenneth Jay Lane on Net-a-Porter
OUTFIT THREE: Outdoorsy
I don't care for camping, but I do enjoy a nice walk in the woods. Trees. Creeks. Maybe a nice squirrel to settle near me and share meaningful glances with. That sounds alright. Here is an outfit I would wear for such an occasion.What I Added:
- olive green button-down shirt – J.Crew
- woven belt – Gap
- cream faux-suede vest – Philosophy on NordstromRack
- cream strappy booties – Dolce Vita
OUTFIT FOUR: Casual Day
Hey, look! Sneakers! They make me so sneaky. Sneaking here and there and everywhere. I put on these shoes and get up to nefarious doings.What I Added:
- blue scarf (BIG KITTIES!) – Hermes
- black belted sweatshirt – H&M
- embellished leather sneakers – Jeffrey Campbell
OUTFIT FIVE: Sporty
I am dabbling in bold color combos lately, but find myself always bringing in a neutral because I am a coward. Womp womp.What I Added:
- fuschia turtleneck tee – J.Crew
- white silk organza jacket – Tahari on Ruelala
- white leather ballet flats – Avec Les Filles at Bloomingdales
OUTFIT SIX: A L'il Bit Country
I am from Texas. I enjoy denim jackets and neckerchiefs. Don't judge me.What I Added:
- light pink scarf (a xmas gift from Ben!) – Hermes
- paladium scarf ring (a birthday gift from Ben!) – Hermes
- light pink denim jacket – H&M
- navy suede maryjanes – Camper
OUTFIT SEVEN: Color & Texture
And, finally, I found that I had a jacket that was almost the same color as the dress. So, yeah... that. Plus, this awesome handmade scarf/necklace hybrid that is super convenient for someone like me, who is allergic to most metals. :(What I Added:
- handmade long layered necklace/scarf – birdienumnumshop on Etsy
- leather and tweed jacket – Bagatelle at Neiman Marcus
- those embellished leather sneakers again! – Jeffrey Campbell
