12 Unexpected Outfit Combos That Will Give Your Wardrobe Life
There are times when we need a little inspiration. We get a little bored with our usual outfit that we wear so often, it has become our uniform. Much to our delight, our favorite bloggers are there to inspire us with new ways to wear our favorite pieces and we could kick ourselves for not thinking of them first. Nonetheless, there are some fun outfit combos out there and here are a few to try if your wardrobe needs a little more life.
1) A Sleeveless Top Over a Button Up Shirt
This layering technique will work for everyday looks, and for work. Layer a nice sleeveless top you have been loving and layer it over a button up shirt, it will give both tops new life and give it a new look. Style it with some trousers or a pair of jeans. Dress it up or down, it will look great either way.

This is a simple outfit formula that has certainly gained popularity over time. There is no reason you can’t take your salty slip dress and give it a casual feel. Layer it over a plain T-shirt with a pair of pants or jeans. Add a pair of heels or sneakers and a bold necklace for outfit combos.

A long sleeve shirt under a dress isn’t groundbreaking, but styling a fancier gown or maxi dress with a long sleeve tee shirt will give that extra something.

9) A Skinny Belt and Everything…
If you feel like your outfit for the day is missing a little something, try adding a simple accessory. A skinny belt usually does the trick, but with a little extra. Wrap the skinny belt around everything, your top, your jacket, even your scarf. It will subtly cinch your look giving it a little more shape.

10) A Sheer Dress and a Graphic Tee
The graphic tee is not too casual, and I will always believe in this. You can layer it underneath and over just about anything. Why discard your favorite Aerosmith tee and layer it underneath your bounciest dress? Add a pair of jeans and some heals and you have achieved the perfect rocker chic look.

11) Mix Your Prints
This is a wonderful style trick to experiment with and can create some great looks. Find a romantic top with a floral look and pair it with your patterned skirt or trousers with one color in common. It will create a bit of harmony and give you a new way to wear your best pieces.
