Use What You May Already Have
• Belting a kaftan for instance, takes a leisure resort piece and transforms it into a fashion forward dress modest enough for the office or workplace.
• Layers such as a cardigan or moto jacket are great additions to enhance the existing pieces in your wardrobe and essentially reverse the effects of belting. Adding layers can add a casually chic twist to an otherwise "dressy" outfit.
• Shoes are just as important to an outfit as any other piece. Your shoes set the tone of your look. Switching the type of shoe can also be used to transform an outfit. For instance, wearing sneakers with an athleisure outfit would be expected, but what about adding a pair of heels and a layer such as a long scarf?
• Mix Matching patterns is also a great way to expand your wardrobe options. Mixing animal prints with other animal prints or plaids create a fun, unique and interesting combination.
