Fashion Transition: Patterned Shift Dress

I'm launching a new feature today, Fashion Transition, which was a suggestion that many of you had when filling out my reader survey (I'll be revealing more results of the survey later this week).

Once a week, I'll take an item and style it two ways. For from summer to fall, from a day of running errands to date night, or any other versatile switch I can think of. It's a cheap and easy way to get more out of your wardrobe. And to kick it off, I'll be styling this bold patterned shift dress two ways: from brunch to dinner.

Brunch: Dress $30 // Tights $15 // Boots $58 // Coat $40 // Earrings $22 // Bag $55

Dinner: Dress $30 // Shoes $25 // Clutch $50 // Necklace $24 // Earrings $22 // Bracelet $24

Inspired By: The Overlook Hotel (from The Shining)

Since tomorrow is Halloween, I figured I'd better do at least one Inspired By post on a horror film. But don't worry, there'll be no blood or fangs involved. Instead, I've chosen some pieces inspired by the Overlook Hotel, the creepy hotel in The Shining.

The Overlook hotel combines a majestic lodge feel with southwestern prints and the bold graphics of a 70's carpet and a hedge maze.

So here are some affordable pieces inspired by the Overlook. Come play with us. Come play with us.
