One of my favorite things about thrifting? Stretching my purchases as far as I possibly can. I found this dress at the Goodwill Outlet for $1 and to see how far I could stretch my $1 trendy purchase, I styled the dress three ways.
Look 1: Effortlessly Cool with a Sweatshirt Layer
For the first ensemble, I decided to infuse a touch of casual chicness by layering the $1 dress with a cozy sweatshirt. This look is perfect for those laid-back days when comfort is key, yet you still want to make a statement. By pairing the dress with a sweatshirt, I achieved a vibe that’s both trendy and comfortable. I opted for sneakers and minimal accessories to keep the focus on the relaxed yet stylish combination of the dress and sweatshirt.
Look 2: Power Dressing with a Blazer
Stepping into outfit number two, I added a relaxed blazer to the dress. This ensemble is ideal for a stylish night out or brunch with friends. I completed the outfit with a low heel and statement bag (which is actually part of an LOL Surprise toy, LOL!)
Look 3: Statement in the Dress Alone
I wanted to showcase the beauty of simplicity by styling the dress on its own. By allowing the dress to stand alone, its charm and versatility shine through. I kept accessories minimal and let the dress take center stage, allowing the dress to make a statement on its own.
With a little imagination and inspiration, even the most budget-friendly finds can be transformed into fabulous looks that make a statement. So, the next time you’re scouring the racks or digging the bins at Goodwill, don’t overlook those hidden gems – you never know what stylish possibilities they may hold.
Happy thrifting!
