Wear Me Already: sweaterdress

Yes, this blog is called Wear Me Already, which is meant to help me wear the clothes that are actually in my closet. But part of the problem is that I'm a shopaholic, which means I'm still going to be buying clothes. I'm not even going to pretend anymore that I'm going to stop. I tried, it didn't work. The main problem is that I wear the same outfits over and over again and "save" items in my closet (for no apparent reason) and that's what I'm working on. I'm getting better! But you always need new items to mix with your old items to make them feel fresh and new. So these are the Marc by Marc Jacobs pieces that I plan on buying (or hope to buy) to help me with that. Or just because I'm obsessed with his clothes. And, again, I'm a shopaholic.

There's nothing better than throwing on a dress when you're rushing out the door because to me, you'll still look put together because the dress does all the work for you. I believe you can never have too many dresses, which is the reason why I keep buying them. My plan is to have enough dresses that I'll always have one on hand in my closet for that oh-crap-I-just-slept-in-and-have-to-leave-my-house-in-ten-minutes-to-catch-my-train-kinda-day (which is almost every day). One might think a dress isn't as exciting as putting together an outfit, but with a dress you can be just as creative. Belt it (or switch up the belt that comes with it), throw a scarf on (perfect for transitioning into fall), switch up the sweaters you wear with it, belt it over the sweater, throw a jacket over it, wear something under it (i.e., turtleneck, t-shirt, blouse), wear with different coloured tights (great for transitioning summer dresses into fall) and/or switch up the shoes you wear with it (i.e., heels, booties (with socks or tights) for fall, knee-high boots for winter). Now, if only I would apply this to my own wardrobe and stop shopping so much. Challenge accepted.

Now I may have to look in my closet and make sure I have at least one dress that falls in each of these categories. If not, all bets are off.
