reworkin' it

J. Crew Striped Dress

The first littering of leaves are on the ground so it's safe to say it: fall is finally here in Atlanta. Instead of running out to buy every possible fall staple, I've been trying to work with what I have. Or in other words, rework. 

This striped tank dress was from J.Crew two summers ago, and I love it it for warm days, but it's also a good element for fall layering. Luckily, navy is not tied to any one season, so it was an easy pair with chambray and a cargo jacket.

That said, I'm not completely cutting out all shopping, just repetitive shopping. I mean, who do you think I am? No shopping period is just not possible.

  3. I love when you can repurpose a dress and make it work a second time around!! I think you're totally right - sometimes you have to work with what you have!!! Hope you have a great Monday!!

  23. I'm a big believer in shopping in my own closet. It's fun to rework and recycle items, not to mention cost effective! Love the way you layered this tank dress. The red sneakers are a great touch.
