Styling for the Changing Seasons

Happy Saturday!

Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  Today, I'm back with a little workplace fashion.  

Dress:  The Limited

I wore this dress during the winter with a faux leather jacket, tights, and boots.  When warmer weather hit, I lost the tights, added sandals, and opted for a cropped 3/4 sleeve jacket. 

It was a little chilly in the office, so I brought along the ivory wrap (tied to my bag) for extra warmth during the day.

Jacket:  Forever 21+

Sandals:  Target (old)

I added blue and silver bangles to bring out the blue colorblocking on the dress.

Bracelets:  Target, LOFT, Express

While I usually purchase clothing out of desire for a particular piece, I also try to be mindful of how each item I buy can be worn in various ways and in multiple seasons.  I can think of at about a half dozen ways to style this dress for work and weekends, so for me, this dress was a worthwhile purchase.

Satchel:  Target (Available here)
Scarf:  ??? (about 20 years old)

Do you factor in versatility into your clothing purchase decisions?  What are some ways you transition pieces from season to season?
