Cost per Wear: Finding Multiple Ways to Wear an Item

September 24, 2021 /

A while back, I created a spreadsheet to keep track of how many times I wore something but I didn’t keep it up for long. Even though I do not keep track of how many wears I wear something, I do make sure that if I spent more than I usually do on an item, that I wear it a lot and find ways to wear it for more than one season of the year. This is the case of these Dahlia pants from XCVI that I shared a couple of weeks ago. I bought them with birthday money and with a coupon but I still feel like I need to make sure to get my cost per wear down. These are the ways I have worn it this past month as well as a couple of ways I plan to wear them! I have washed and dried them and feel like they fit better now (they were loose on me the first wear) and I am looking forward to wearing them this fall.

With a Graphic Tee

Casual look with a tee and white sneakers. The pants are pull on style and soft. Tney do stretch out some so be sure to size down. This outfit works well for many seasons as our fall is usually mild.

With a White Peasant Blouse

I have had this blouse for so many years! I should love the simplicity and feminity of it! I paired them with a casual shoe and a pair of my daintier earrings.

With a Long Vest

I enjoyed this outfit! This is actually a shirt dress that is too tight on me and I have been wanting to find a way to wear it. I love it especially the collar and large buttons. Be prepared to see it worn this way from now on. I have been taking a hard look at my closet this week and decided that I do not want to make certain things work if I feel blah about them: even if I paid money for them, I do not need things taking extra space. In most cases, I did not spend much on them or they were fairly old. In this case though, I love my new purpose for this dress (I have had it for 7+ years).

With a Tunic Tank

This is one of my favorite and oldest thrifted items: it is timeless, classy and a great neutral to pair with color or another neutral color. I probably have had it for 6 years or so. I paired it with black booties and this would be a pretty look for a date. Recently worn the top with white leggings and sneakers.

With a Kimono

I think this is my favorite look! I have been wanting a kimono in more neutral colors (most of mine are really bright) and picked this one on sale on Amazon. I am a sucker for tassels and I like the cut and splits on this one. I have reorganized my earrings so I can really see them all and chose these leather brown ones. A little fun pattern mix with the snakeskin booties. It’s not cold yet so this is the type of outfit I will be wearing the most to transition into fall: booties and a light layer.

A bientôt!
