Outfit post (Level 4): Re-using a winning formula

Level 4 outfit photo: Old Navy dress, Calvin Klein turtleneck, brown tights and Aerosoles boots

Do you remember my outfit post from last month, when I winterized a summer wrap dress by layering it over a turtleneck and wearing it with tights and boots?

Level 4 outfit photo: View from the sideHaving discovered a winning formula, I put it into action again, this time with a new knit dress in a summer weight.

(That’s the beauty of outfit formulas; they make creating new outfits a much easier exercise since you’re not starting with Square 1.)

Not only does the turtleneck take summer into winter, it helps with a low-cut wrap neckline which this dress also has a variation of.

Since this mock turtleneck doesn’t lend itself to wearing a necklace very well, I went with a belt for some extra visual interest. It makes the dress look a little more “office” and a little less “beach,” too.

Like the DVF wrap dress, this one has a print in predominantly brown colors, so I wore the same tights and boots again.

Hey, if it ain’t broke … :)
