Today I am showing you how I styled 1 outfit 4 different ways. Let's take a look at how you can do that! My base outfit: a white button down with a shirt vest dress!!! Let's talk about the white button down. It's got a puff sleeve detail, which amplifies any look!
Something I want you to notice when I show these outfits: each of them could be worn by 4 different people with 4 completely different styles, thus the beauty of ACCESSORIZING.
Outfit 1:
Edgy street wear
Details:
I wanted to wear my combat boots with this, and I think combat boots= edgy outfit. So I paired it with my chunky gold hoops and my oversized chain necklace, effortless and chic. I topped it all off with a simple half top knot, which in my opinion polishes off that edgy look.
Outfit 2:
Pretty in Pink
For this look, I had the perfect little headscarf I got years ago that matched my pink block heeled mules to a T! I love this look because you can take the neutral dress and top and make it fun with a pop of color. I'd wear this to Sunday brunch with the gals :) Don't forget the fun earrings--I absolutely love these chunky pink hoops!
Outfit 3:
If looks could kill
I don't mean to toot my own horn but DANG I LOOK GOOD. Have you ever noticed when you put on an outfit and you can feel the confidence jump through a photo? That's this one. It's classic, chic, and simple. I love it! Right now we are seeing brown everywhere, so I wore my brown croc boots, brown earrings, and a cream headband that complemented the dress and top.
QUICK TIP: brown is trending-- so I used my brown jewelry and boots. When gray boots come back (they will, I promise), switch this out with some charcoal boots, and some gold beaded hoops. BOOM.
Are you more of a classic capsule wardrobe gal? Grab your black boots you've had for years, put them on, buy that 3 dollar trendy cheetah headband you've been eyeing on Amazon, and WORK.
Outfit 4:
XOXO Gossip Girl
Ah, this one gives me Blair Waldorf Vibes. The pearl headband, the classic white pearls, and the sleek black mules are sure to always remind you that you are Queen B.

In this style guide, I'm going to show you how you can wear a scarf in multiple ways and with different outfits. We're going to start by looking at how you can wear a scarf as a top. Wearing a scarf this way isn't such an obvious choice because scarves are usually regarded as fashion accessories, but, as you will see, it totally works.
My mission in life is to design and make no-sew outfits, and in this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to make an off-the-shoulder top without sewing.I want to start by telling you a little bit about the fabric that we’re using to make the top - scuba fabric. Scuba fabric is a solid fabric that means that both sides are identical - there is no distinction between right and wrong sides. It is also a self-finished fabric, so it doesn’t fray when you cut it. It is also a stretchy fabric which means that it will be really easy to wear.
Fashion Friday- Orange and Fuscia are two of my fav colors!
As always it is a pleasure to help to launch a new Seamwork pattern as a Seamwork Ambassador. The pattern I chose for this month is the Kari Dress/Romper. The pattern is featured as a Romper and the bonus pattern guides you through how to make it as a dress.
In this thrift-flip DIY, I will be turning a simple plain shirt that I got from my local thrift store into something a little more stylish. Using the power of shirring, we’re going to be adding some elastic and completely changing the shape and appearance of the shirt. You’ll love the finished result!
I’m going to be showing you how to style one shirt in seven different ways. For many, when choosing a shirt, a white one is the default option. I’ve gone for a pastel yellow colored one here to spice things up a bit, and believe it or not, I discovered that a yellow shirt could be just as versatile. Read on to find out how I styled it.
With the weather getting warmer we will soon, if you haven't already, be able to pull out the sandals and wear them for the next few months. I have found three pairs of sandals from Target that are my summer staples and I am excited to share them with you!
Jeans are my favorite wardrobe staple. I wear jeans almost every day, and just about all them are skinny jeans. But it has been a great year to try different styles, like all the wide leg cropped pieces I’ve been making ( here and here), and I have a whole box of secondhand jeans from ThredUp to create with!ThredUp sent me a denim rescue box for another project, but since the box is 50 lbs of denim, I have a lot of jeans to work with! Rescue boxes are filled with unaccepted items for resale and unsold jeans from the site. In my box, there are a lot of jeans in great condition that are not my size and I plan on donating them. Since it is a rescue box, quite a few of the pairs are stretched out, or stained; completely unwearable in their current condition. I went through the box and there were a few pairs in my size, two that look and feel great! One is a pair of black skinny jeans, which I’ve been wanting for a while, and the other was this pair of Levis, which fit great except for the length! I was going to do a simple hem, but I thought this would be a fun moment to try something new.
I'm happy to say, the creativity gene has been passed!
Summer is officially here and that means it is time to bring out those White Summer Midi/Maxi Dresses. When I think of Summer I think of popsicles, pools, beaches, cookouts, fun drinks, warm weather & maybe even a little camping here and there. I know.. I know.. who wears dresses camping right? Well.. lets be honest we all may wear one on the first day for that perfect "blog picture." ;) All 3 of the dresses listed below are from Red Dress & ViciDolls. I have listed exact and similar dress items in my blog www.kissthisstyles.com & in my liketoknow.it/kissthisstyles.
For the longest time, Converse were my go to sneaker. I literally wore the 4 or 5 pairs of Converse I had into the ground. They had holes, they were dirty, and they were 7 years old. Needless to say, when I graduated college I didn’t bother bringing them home with me. They met their new best friend, the trashcan. As sad as it was back then, it lead to my new best friend, Keds sneakers.Now this isn’t to say I won’t ever wear Converse every again (I’m actually on the hunt for a pair). I’ve just only bought Keds and Nikes since graduating. While I love my Nikes for comfort, they don’t exactly look the best with every outfit. Keds sneakers on the other hand are comfortable and look great with just about everything honestly. So today I wanted to share a few ways to style Keds just to prove that they really can be the perfect shoe with every outfit.
Sewing knits can be tricky, and nobody likes sewing neck bindings. But this super simple tutorial will help even beginners sew their very own me-made T-shirts in just 15 minutes or so!

In this style guide, I'm going to be showing you five outfits that you can create with a pair of black pants. I'm in love with these pants because they have a bit of a wider leg cut which means that they're really comfortable and yet also very flattering - a real wardrobe staple. Let's get started with the first look:
I’m a wee bit addicted to jumpsuits and have more than a few thrifted beauties waiting to be refashioned in my stash.The super plain all-in-one below was a cinch to liven up and is now perfect for those humid summer days:
I love a good DIY project, and these ombre dyed flannel shirts are the perfect way to modernize boring flannel shirts. I would recommend going to a thrift store and buying a bunch of flannel shirts. There's no way to anticipate what's going to happen when you bleach them, so if you have a few, it's not like all of your hope is on one shirt, and it gives you some room to experiment and be creative. Let's get started!
I got this dress at a thrift store and knew I wanted to make something amazing from it. The pattern is fun and lively, perfect for the summer. After some thought, deliberation, and internet scouring I decided to transform this dress into the perfect beach outfit!
