1 Simple Girl, 4 Simple Outfits

I consider myself to be good at creating outfits that, when not on me, somebody would go "yeah..I guess those go together?" and then when I put it on, my tacky personality just somehow sticks it together and it works. Somehow.

That being said, I thought I would share a few easy ways to turn a simple skater dress into 4 different looks, all with pretty easy to find clothing items! Let's look at our items, shall we?

Top to bottom, L to R: ❁ Dress - H&M ❁ Cardigan - H&M ❁ Dress - Suzy Shier ❁ Collared Shirt - Winners ❁ Jean Jacket - Winners (patch is from shopkategabrielle!) ❁ Half-slip - ModCloth ❁ Shoes - (pink) Bait Footwear, (mint) Converse, (white) Ardene ❁ Headband - Claire's ❁ Belt - Zara ❁ Sunglasses - (mint) Banggood, (black) Old Navy

The dress I own is from H&M, it's one of those $15 ones that are always on the racks in tons of patterns, so that makes it so easy to style in different ways! It's summer, so I didn't focus on leggings or tights, but rather shirts, shoes, various accessories, and jackets (my mom always told me to never leave home without one, guys!).

Look 1: Legally (Ash) Blonde 

I mean, Elle Woods would probably wear this, right? She's more sophisticated than me tbh. This is level 1 dressing, but I sometimes forget this: wearing a collared shirt under a dress is always so cute/school girl-y/librarian.

Look 2:  Summer Bows

A dress under a dress? How original! Never thought of that one before, Amina!

Nah, but this outfit is cute. I've had this Suzy Shier dress since 2011 and I barely wear it anymore, until I figured out I can layer it under dresses and wear it with skirts, so it's never leaving my closet.

Look 3: Flower Gal

Are you truly a young person unless you have a worn out, dirty pair of Converse? I feel like a hipstery flower girl going to an off-brand, half-the-price Coachella in this outfit. Jean jackets and flower crowns truly make a look.

And finally,

Look 4: Just Mina

Aaaand this is what I actually wore to work today, my most "me" outfit. PRO TIP: when your dresses are too short (because you're 5'11"), wear a half slip underneath! I got mine from ModCloth, but they're on Amazon for cheaper. It is SO USEFUL and one of the best things I've ever bought.

This is a very lengthy post and it makes me cringe, but whatever! I like making different outfits from the things in my closet all in one go, and I'm glad I blogged about it so I actually have a record of the outfits I made 😝

Couple more pictures, and then imma peace out...

I only have one smile
