THE CLASSIC SHIFT

. LAST SEASON: SUMMER SHIFT .

Inevitably each season I end up buying a whole load of new clothes, it’s not that I deliberately seasonly shop, it’s more that I like to pick up bits as and when I see them, and naturally with the new season meaning tons of new clothes to catch my eye, I always end up having a little splurge. But the benefit of being a hoarder means that these clothes never just get one seasons worth of wear, oh no, often i’ll recycle my favourites for up to three seasons. It’s one way I help justify my shopping addiction … pennies per wear n all that.

. TOPSHOP WHITE SHIFT DRESS (OLD) . MISSGUIDED SUEDE JACKET . ZARA LACE UP SANDALS (SIMILAR) . REISS FEDORA .

This white shift dress is a really simple summer number I picked up last year from Topshop. Last year it was a seriously well worn dress, and this season i’ve rediscovered it again. Simply updating the dress by accessorising it with my favourite SS15 accessories. It’s amazing how a little styling updates can keep a classic item on trend, year after year.

This season it’s all about fringing, suede and lace up gladiators, and so I simply popped it all together, with my Topshop white shift dress and voila. Last years favourite, looks SS15 ready.

Are you good at recycling last seasons favourites?
