Channel your inner stylist

Don't think just because you buy a blouse, dress or any other article of clothing, you have to wear it a certain way. Mannequins are set out merely to display the merchandise. You can of course copy the outfit the mannequin endorses, but these statues are also designed to help you decide how you want to style the clothes. They serve as an example, a starting point for what you will show the world.

I bought this dress several years ago, so unfortunately, I cannot recall where I bought it or how much it cost. But the nice thing about this dress is you can wear it many ways. All you need is a few safety pins. With three, I transformed this simple one-length dress into one that is longer in the back and shorter in the front, making it easier to show off beautiful legs, which I think are the most sexiest body part on a woman especially when wearing high heels.

I will also point out that in my previous blog article, I'm actually wearing a skirt as a top. These kind of flowing skirts with an elastic waist can be worn either as a skirt or a shirt.

That's the beauty of fashion.

Not only can you pair the same top with different pants or skirts to make an entirely different look, but you can also take one piece of apparel, alter it just slightly and wear it a completely different way.

So once again, I ask you to be creative. Channel your inner stylist. Your inner designer. Channel your inner Chanel. Look at your wardrobe and try something new with something you've had forever. And have fun!
