Warm Winter Day Remix: Polka Dot Dress and Long Cardigan

Dress: Madewell (similar here, here, here)
Cardigan: Forever 21 (similar here, here, here)
Shoes: Banana Republic (similar here, here)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery Tote (similar here, here)
Necklace: Sterling Forever Pave Chevron Necklace c/o

If you ask me, I always wear everything I buy at least three to six times, or twelve, or thirty, ok just countless times! Earlier this week, you saw me in this navy polka dot dress styled with a long coat and scarf for a polished, classic look (see here). In today’s outfit, I kept the other pieces the same and traded the long coat and colorblock scarf in for this Forever 21 long crochet cardigan that you also saw me wear here. See what a difference one change can make?  That’s what’s so awesome about fashion, you can be so creative in your styling and have fun with it!

    I just let you know on Instagram, but I love when bloggers repurpose items! It's way more realistic for everyday life, since most people can't afford to buy a dress, wear it once, and throw it in the back of a closet! I love this look. 🙂
