Nothing to wear?

Guess which statement is true:

1. I carefully put this outfit together BEFORE my carribean vacation, thoughtfully planned out accessories, including the hair picks.
2. I bought this kimono-like dress in the glamorous boutique at the resort.
3. I forgot to pack my favorite vacay outfit.

If you guessed #3 then you’re correct!!

So what’s a stylist to do but to make do in St. Lucia!  I belted my asian inspired bathrobe (yes, I said bathrobe) and then added the straw clutch and turquoise hair pins and voila!  Time for a mai tai!

This somewhat out of character stumble reminded me of how much fun styling can be and how creativity plays such an important role in creating a look…..in fact, when I returned home I was inspired to revisit the utilitarian pieces in my closet to create new and fun looks….

• lingerie top with a blazer and jeans?  Why not?
• Maxi dresses work as a skirt with a tee? Definitely!
• One piece swimsuit doubles as a bodysuit with high waisted trousers? Of course!

What kind of creative looks have you come up with?  Comment below or email me at tina@wardrobe-envy.com and I’ll discuss them on my radio show and podcast, The Fashion Department with Tina on WGCH.com anywhere!
