(Bodysuit – Madewell they no longer carry this one but here are some others, Jeans – American Eagle, Bag – gift from my mom that she got in Italy at a market, Necklace – gift from my brother/sister in law from a fair trade market in Sonoma, Sunglasses – Forever21)
When bodysuits started to become a trend, I loved how flattering they were on people and I really wanted to try them out. However, I could never find one that looked like it would fit well or wasn’t too skimpy for my body type. I ended up buying this one here in this post from Madewell one day without trying it on with the thought process that since it was long sleeved, how could it go wrong? Well the V-Neck cut of it was just too deep for my chest and it’s been sitting in my closet for months. One day my friend and co-worker, Mallory, walked into the office with this adorable back swooped body suit that I had to ask about. Turns out, she had a similar problem as myself and was crafty enough to figure out that a good way to still wear the bodysuit was simply to turn it around. I went from never wearing my body suit to it being one of my favorite tops thanks to this hack!
I love how classy the high neck looks on the body suit now. Someone even complimented it the other day and said it looked like an Audrey Hepburn look the other day. I was so flattered!
A friend passed down these Madewell booties to me and they are so comfortable, I wear them all the time. Also, props for all the clothing swaps I’ve had with my friends and family. I truly get such great use out of hand me downs.
When in doubt, flip it around! Thanks Mallory for your creativity and outfit hacking!
Happy 4th of July everyone – enjoy the holiday week.
When you are going to a wedding, it is important to look your best but also feel comfortable for a night of dancing and celebrating! I had been eyeing this dress for months and it finally went on sale at Anthropologie (unfortunately it is sold out now). I justified purchasing a dress I really didn’t need because I have so many weddings this year and it is just perfect to wear to a couple of them because it isn’t white! Surprisingly about 70% of my wedding appropriate dresses are white, so I really need to get my act together.
(High/Low front and back of this lace dress gives it a nice flow)
(It has a subtle snap in the front to keep it all together. This necklace was a gift from my grandparents on my 8th grade graduation- it’s still my favorite)
