The Outfit Today: Everything Has Dual Usage

I have a problem. I can never just wear an item of clothing without trying to gain dual use out of it. This "dress" is actually the H&M drape front sweater that I bought a few weeks back. Instead of putting my arms through the sleeves, I put my whole body though the neck hole, inverted the sleeves and belted it for the illusion of pockets... clever right?! Well, I certainly thought so!



Cardigan GAP | Dress/Shirt & Scarf H&M | Boots Steve Madden


Yet again, not to toot my own horn but, this belt is actually the straps from around my boots, buckled end to end. I do have a skinny tan belt but it was a bit too thin to pair with the stripes of this shirt, so some quick thinking saved me here. I felt quite accomplished for this one lol.

Q: Have you ever found an interesting way to wear an old item?
