I feel so accomplished when I could pull old items out of my wardrobe and create a brand new outfit…or three!

On a recent weekend trip to Freeport, Grand Bahama I was looking for something casual, breezy and island inspired to roam the streets in.

I was so happy I packed my mango colored basic tank dress from Zara! I rarely leave home without it when I’m travelling. I stuffed them into these royal blue shorts I have, that are covered in the most beautiful cockatoos ever lol! The pants were actually a part of a 2-piece set I got from The Velvet Hanger in Nassau, Bahamas. These pants got me noticed!  The two paired so well together, but most importantly…

I was comfortable, didn’t have to buy a new outfit and found a way to up cycle items I already had

To me, this is why basic items like a tank dress, a T-shirt, and jeans are made; to be worn a million times, a million ways! I could assure you, I’m not done with dress yet!

Here are some other ways I wore these pieces! 

I love pieces like this tank that I could layer, cover up or wear alone, and they still give you a new look each time you wear it. Talk about up cycling and shopping your own wardrobe!
