Repeat Offender
Tunic: Fab’rik Boutique | Jeans: Old Navy | Flats: White Plum c/o | Bag: Target (similar) | Necklace: GroopDealz
So, let me confess, I’m fairly certain I’ve basically worn this outfit on the blog before. There was a maternity version of it that I wore here and well, I think that’s it. But I feel like I’ve worn it a bunch. And there was even a part of me that was like, “Don’t blog this outfit, you’ve worn it before.” And then the other (more rational) part of me was like, “Uhhh, that’s real life. People wear things more than once. It’s okay to have basically the same outfit but with a different necklace and different shoes… plus you’re carrying that fabulous purple bag! It’s so now!”
These are the types of conversations that I often have with myself. Is that strange?
But anyway, the truth is, one of the things that I love most about fashion, and REAL LIFE fashion, is the ability to change up an outfit with something as simple as your accessories. Sure, the “base” of the outfit (top and pants) are the same, but with new shoes, a new necklace, and a fun bag, it feels like a totally different look! ‘Naw mean?
I’ve had this tunic for almost TWO years and it’s still one of my absolute favorites in my closet. It’s so lightweight and so colorful and fun. Definitely one of my closet staples… whoda thunk a printed tunic would be a closet staple?
Now that the weather is warming up (FINALLY!!), I’m finding myself struggling to put together outfits because I just don’t have much in the way of warm weather clothes. I need to add some to my wardrobe but I’m almost at a loss for where to start…
Oh well, guess that just means I will HAVE to go shopping!
What about you? What are your “staples” for spring and summer this year? What should I be on the lookout for? How do you make an outfit that’s basically the same “feel different?”
Totally know what you mean! I’m always thinking that to myself! haha But I for one have a tiny closet and I’m sure I’m not the only one. So being able to think up different ways to wear something is fun and can always do side by side views for a fun post too. 🙂
Love the purse! The color is gorgeous!
I love that you have those conversations with yourself, I do the same thing! I’ve recently decided to stop worrying about repeating items, because like you said, in real life people do repeat items =) And I’m with you on accessories – must haves to change up the styling of our repeating!
I’m 2 months postpartum and have a whooping 3 tops in my closet that I will wear outside the house now. Accessories are definitely key! Statement necklaces, blazers, and cardigans have been crucial while I’m trying to get my pre-baby body back.
I am totally with you on being able to change an outfit with just a few accessories! You look fabulous! I love that top so much!
My husband takes my photos and sometimes he’ll comment that I’ve worn something before. 🙂 Summer must-haves for me are a few good-fitting pairs of longer shorts and some maxi dresses or skirts.
I am the biggest repeat offender! You are right though a swap of shoes and different accessories can make the outfit different. Love the tunic!

Those shoes are amazing! So cute:)
I just love that bright bag! I’ve become pretty attached to my basics lately with the warmer weather – cropped pants, my jean jacket, and tshirt dresses are all faves!
Love the bag! Got the mint one with my Target gift card 🙂
An outfit so nice must be blogged twice! You look great!
