One Dress 3 Ways

So I cleaned up my eating in April and have had so much fun shopping y’all….shopping my closet!  Getting back to eating a diet high in protein, managing my carbs and limiting my sugar intake has allowed me to whittle away a little winter middle I have been carrying around since about the winter of 2013!!  Good thing I haven’t perfected that closet purge I claim to be so good at.  
Spring style
I purchased this dress way back in 2012…I remember specifically purchasing to wear to one of Riley’s senior baseball games.  Am I the only one that can date my clothes based on some life event?  I remember wearing it with some cute wedges, walking into the stands and having a mom say “You look like Barbie”.  I’m still not sure that it was a compliment but I took it.  
This jacket has been longing for some love for the three years I’ve owned it.  Until today I never even considered it with this dress but I’m thinking it has made a friend.  
 
 I could definitely wear this to work and feel pulled together.  
 My black DV wedges are from last season but I am still getting lots of wear out of them.  This pair is similar style and brand and this snakeskin pair I ordered this week!  I’m also really digging these but they are a little above my price point.  
 I am a Texas girl at heart so wearing my boots is always a possibility.  My mom bought me a pair of Old Gringos several years back and they just get better with age.  Similar here & here. 
 A blue jean jacket is always a great option and can really be dressed up or down.  It is tricky to find the perfect jean jacket as I definitely want it to be somewhat soft and so many are stiff.   This one from old navy looks promising.  This dress would also be super cute with a blue jean vest like this one.  
And finally dressing it down just a bit with my Chuck Taylor’s and a fun hat.  If Mother Nature continues to insist on all this rain you may be seeing a lot of hats around here!  My hair has been a disaster.

    1. Thanks Stacie! This dress has always been hard for me because of the cute top. I'm a scarf girl and just always felt like it need something and couldn't decide.

  6. Good for you for changing your eating habits! I'm starting the 21-day fix next week and hoping to lose my "winter" weight. I gained 5 lbs in Hawaii and haven't worked very hard to get it off. And you look super, by the way!!

    1. Thank you Karen. The older I get the more creative I have to get to make sure my eating provides the right results. It's not just about cutting calories anymore for sure. Have a great week!

  10. I am the same way with my clothes lol 😉 I think that's when you know you love clothes! I really like how you paired this dress 3 different ways. Dresses are always tricky, to try and spice it up different ways. I would wear all 3 options.

    1. Thank you Melissa! I am always just "5 lbs away" from being able to wear everything I once loved! haha….whether it will still be in style is the million dollar question. Have a great week!

  12. Way to go changing up that dress! I love the dress/jean jacket/ boots combo. I'm a Texas girl too and haven't owned any boots yet. That will be changed soon. 🙂

  15. Adorable! I love all of them, but the boots and tennies are my favorite. I'm inspired to find a denim jacket now. You're so right about finding one that is comfortable. I don't usually like them because they are so stiff.

    Thanks so much for sharing!

    1. For real Jen….I've had both pieces at least 3 years and had never even thought to pull them together!! Thank goodness for the blog world and Pinterest…I'm finally learning to dress myself! haha

  20. This dress 3 ways post was my favorite remix post you did last year. Those black wedges are phenomenal and I know you wore them a lot. I love them and I need a similar pair this Summer. While all outfits are great, I love the dressier yet casual enough first outfit with the striped blazer. And I am huge fan of a summer dress being paired with a blue denim jacket. Last but not least I love the plum color of your dress.
