Fall Layers with Gal Meets Glam

Re-styling My Favorite Gal Meets Glam Dress

This was one of my favorite dresses from Gal Meets Glam that I bought last year to add to my fall wardrobe. It is a versatile dress that I love to style and layer different ways for fall and winter. I first styled it on its own as it was transitioning to fall last August here in this post. I also styled this dress for winter in this post here. This time I was really wanting to accentuate the full skirt with some autumn layers. By adding a white collared blouse underneath and a black cashmere sweater over the top I was really able to create a great outfit that was different just by playing up the details and layering it with clothes that I had in my wardrobe. Thus creating a look that required no shopping.

Wearing What You Have

Lately I have been trying to be better about wearing clothes that I have. I have accumulated so much clothing over the years and just with a couple additions this fall my wardrobe has felt pretty complete and I haven’t felt the need to shop as often as I normally do. One thing that really helped me put a hold on my shopping addiction was at the beginning of the season I pulled out all of my favorite pieces that I felt like wearing again and I styled them in a new way. I am certainly no minimalist when it comes to my wardrobe but I really like to have options.

One other thing that I have been doing different lately is whenever I am inspired by an outfit that another person is wearing on Pinterest or Instagram I try to recreate it with what I already own. That way I can start to avoid feeling like I need to own the exact thing that the other person is wearing and instead create a similar outfit in my own way. For instance, I was really loving outfits with long plaid skirts and chunky sweaters. I didn’t really have a long plaid or check skirt but I did have plenty of dresses that I quickly layered by pulling a sweater over it. This is one of my favorite ways to style a dress in a different way. What is your favorite way you are saving money and re-styling your fall wardrobe? I would love to hear in the comments below!
