STYLE ADVICE: Switch It Up

Let’s be honest: how many times have you looked in your outrageously packed closet saying, “I have nothing to wear!” and felt totally discouraged? I do it every day and I know can’t be alone in this. When I saw this Fashionista, I fell head over heels for her sweater and just had to ask where I could by a similar one. My jaw dropped when she let me in on a secret—she was wearing her sweater backwards.

She said she had done this a few times now and gets compliments every time. The back of the sweater has a triangle shaped cut-out, leaving a strap at the neck. A couple of her friends owned similar sweaters, but with that style on the front of them. She wondered if she could rock a similar look with the one she already owned. She turned it backwards and realized she had just found another sweater to wear, without buying another one. The sweater now gave her a mockneck choker with a lower cut neckline. She paired this dusty rose sweater with a leather jacket, simple black leggings and a pair of faux suede booties.

I loved this outfit because it looks super trendy while still wearing your favorite comfortable pieces. I was so inspired by this Fashionista and her creativity that I went home and tried to see if I was able to do anything similar with any of my pieces. Sure enough, one of my favorite little black rompers could be turned around and worn backwards along with a few of my sweaters. I encourage you to do the same if you ever feel like you have nothing to wear, or even if you just feel like switching things up a bit.
