I’ve been having one those weeks that is moving so fast, it almost feels like a dream.  Is it actually Friday today, or is the Universe playing some “funny” joke on me?  With a whirlwind of events, meeting, and project, I’ve had many late night and early mornings.  And coffee.  Lots and lots of coffee.


When I laid eyes on this sheer black maxi dress, I knew it had to be mine (and the $25 price tag was a major bonus).  A staple for this season, I was so excited to style it, with a very particular look in mind.  When it arrived however, what I’d envisioned didn’t end up suiting me and I felt slightly discouraged.  I needed to wear this outfit from day  to night and still somehow stay warm in the process.  After trying almost every cardigan and jacket I owned, this chunky grey Kensie sweater caught my eye just as I was contemplating giving up.  With a sweater over top, the dress took on the look of a skirt instead and added just as much of the dramatic effect I was going for.  Don’t you just LOVE when accidental styling happens?  Especially when it means you’re going to get even more wear out of an item than you’d expected!


Do you have any cool styling tips that you’ve remember/discovered lately?  Please, do share!
