I've said it about 10 times in the last few weeks but cleaning out my closets, organizing my clothes, having everything visible and categorized has changed my fashion life. I've fallen back in love with things that I haven't worn in ages (or ever, yes I know that's not normal).

This studded black dress is one of the very first things I ever ordered from Evans two or so years back and, I've worn it a time or two but suddenly I'm back in love. Don't you just love that?! It certainly doesn't hurt that studs are currently all the rage...not that they were ever "out" with me. Also, the thigh high ruched side of the dress definitely adds some sexy. We love sexy, right? Love.

I topped it with another long ignored and recently worn all of the time olive jacket, et viola. It feels brand new again!

We often get stuck in a rut of wearing something we love the same way. Try pairing it with other pieces.It will look and feel new!

How? Switch up the shoes, and jewelry you normally wear with a certain item. If you always add a blazer, try a leather jacket and vice versa.

Layer it under or on top of something else. Example: If I tossed on a sweater or sweatshirt over top of this studded dress and added a leather jacket, I'd have a completely different look!
