Sometimes all it takes are a few "add-ons" to complete a look. Take for instance this chambray dress that I literally bought almost two years ago. It's been a handy little dandy over the years. The miraculous thing about it is that it can transform into something new each time I add a few fresh accessories.

SHOP MORE CHAMBRAY DRESSES:
With the amount of nauseating bills we just got nailed with from the dentist and veterinarian + our late summer vacation starting Friday, this girl has no other option than to incorporate more "add-ons" to pieces hanging in the closet (for the next several weeks) and NOT from a store rack. Willpower, please take over me and my not so logical mind when it comes to clothes.

This is so true! I wore a black dress that I always add on to and it works on so many levels. Great look, Shanna!
And I totally hear you on the shopping from your closet. I'm in the same position right now. Hard with fall coming around the bend!

Obsessed with this! I am a huge sucker for chambray shirts and why not add a dress into the mix! Love all the pops of color. Chambray makes the perfect backdrop for anything.

I totally think accessories can make an outfit, I love your necklace and clutch here.
Absolutely love this chambray dress and how cute is this embroidered clutch?!
It is amazing what accessories can do to totally change an outfit! I can imagine this dress looking really different dressed more casually. It's always nice to have pieces like that. You look great!

I've been seeing this bag everywhere and it's just so pretty and colorful!
I love this look! Every time I try out a shirt dress I feel like I look like I left the house without pants. I think the missing piece is heels. I can't wear it with flats.
I love how you dressed this look up! You've got the power to not shop! Just look in your closet lol!
I totally agree about the "add ons" and it seriously makes this outfit SO fun!

Chambray is your colour, you look stunning in these pics ( well you always do but there is something in these ones that pop). Love the dress and accessories and a shopping hiatus, ouchie but for all good reasons.
Love when older items can get remixed and revived with some accessories! Not to mention, those accessories are amazing!
