One Dress Three Ways!

“For years now I've kind of operated under an informal shopping cycle. A bit like a farmer's crop rotation system. Except, instead of wheat, maize, barley, and fallow, mine pretty much goes clothes, makeup shoes, and clothes (I don't bother with fallow). Shopping is actually very similar to farming a field. You can't keep buying the same thing, you have to have a bit of variety. Otherwise you get bored and stop enjoying yourself.” 
― Sophie Kinsella, Confessions of a Shopaholic

We love that quote. It makes us smile because we sometimes feel the same way. A little variety adds spice to your wardrobe, and makes you love your clothes all over again.

Charlotte rocks the sales at the GAP. Hands down. We will all be in the GAP, and Charlotte will emerge victorious with shirts, dresses, bags, shoes etc. that none of us even saw. An example would be this grey sweatshirt dress, it was a bit big, but only $5.00!! For that price, Charlotte was determined to make this great find work in her wardrobe. Turns out the $5.00 dress fits all three of us : ) Today we thought we would show you one item: the grey dress, three different ways.

On Lady Charlotte:

Bright pants echo summer and can be toned down with neutrals, like the grey dress and the peep toe wedges. Charlotte found her cool pants at the GAP ( yes I’m jealous), for only $10.00. She rolled up her pants to pull off the vintage capri look, and it shows off her dainty ankles : ) The peep toe wedges are a super find from Winners. 

To dress up the cotton dress, she has on a ruffled vintage scarf from Heaven's to Betsy, pearl bracelets from Joe Fresh, a thin leather belt from Forever 21 and her beloved friend Louis on her arm. 

On Miss Leah Alice Elizabeth

We call Leah’s look: The Romantic Book Lover. : ) Leah transforms the grey dress into a soft, frilly, girly look. She added the lace slip (so that our mama won’t tell us it’s too short!) from Forever 21, awesome, pattern white tights are Calvin Klein and were only $3.00 at the Bay!! ( I bought them for every girl I knew) the lovely lilac scarf is from Heaven’s to Betsy and the  twisted belt from Zara’s, cinches well at the waist and makes the grey dress more fitted.  The very unique beaded collar is from the 50’s and we found it in our favourite shop here: Madonna House Gift Shop
Nude flats from Zara's, a bright purse from Target, and a  pink ring from our Mama,  complete her look and make her look oh so romantic. 

On Mademoiselle Renee 

To switch up the dress a bit, I went for no belt as I like the tunic look. It goes well with the skinny dark denim Calvin Klein jeans major STEAL from Costco! They were only $15.00! and are super comfy. If you ever see those jeans again at Costco, please let us know immediately. ASAP. Pronto. Thanks : )
In my hair Leah wrapped a sparkly sequinned scarf from our friend Anne Carpen. Love you lady! The golden yellow purse is another find from Winners, and matches well with the faux fur yellow flats from Zara's. Yellow and grey is a nice colour combo, and is actually popular now in weddings (we are in the midst of our sister's wedding planning). 
The blue leather bracelet is from Heaven’s to Betsy, the silver wrapped bracelet is from Madonna House, the sterling silver and black antique locket is from Flock  and the turquoise ring is from a friend’s late stylish Belgium Mama.  

Alrighty now go dig in your wardrobe and see what you can wear three ways! It will surprise you!
