Convertible Dressing

 Alexander Wang vest and boots, J. Crew turtleneck, Elie Tahari belt 

I don't know if it's all these eclipses or what, but things have been quite topsy-turvy lately.  Can't seem to keep to a schedule at all!  Patience, will be rewarded, however, as sample/sale season has been especially kind. A "sample" of the things to come: Rodarte, Balenciaga, Rochas, Miu Miu, Comme des Garcons, (hopefully) Proenza.... We aren't kidding around here.  Until then, however, I've also been continuing to edit the closet, and making pieces prove their worth.  This Alexander Wang nubby vest has always been a favorite, but I was recently skeptical about it's versatility, which wasn't completely obvious to me.  With some semi-inventive thinking, I slapped a belt on it and voila!-- a dress!  I'm not usually an advocate of "belting" things excessively (I know you know those people out there), but there are indeed times it's appropriate.  Never say never.
