Now that Brisbane is having a little bit of cooler autumn weather at last, thought that this cosy black and navy striped shift dress with 3/4 sleeves was the perfect piece to feature for my latest 30 ways to wear post!
30 Ways To Wear: Atmos & Here Navy and Black Stripe Shift Dress
Cost Per Wear
I picked this navy stripe tee dress up on sale at The Iconic for $26.36, back in July 2014. So I've had it in my wardrobe almost 11 years! At 32 wears, it's down to 82 cents a wear. And it's still going strong, it will be worn in the cooler months for years to come.
It has taken over a decade to get more than 30 wears, but I credit that to it being a dress I can only really wear on cooler days, and it not being one I could wear when breastfeeding. I definitely think of it as a staple in my wardrobe though and look forward to wearing it in the colder months.
Out of the 32 outfits I've made from this dress, here are my 30 favourite ways I've worn it so far.

Navy Stripe Tee Dress With More Blue
I love wearing multiple shades of blue together in an outfit, and as you can see from these 4 outfits, the dark navy dress is perfect with blue jackets, scarves, bags and even shoes.
Striped Shift Dress With Boots
As this striped dress is quite thick with the long 3/4 length sleeves, I wear it most often on colder days. it means it's the perfect temperature to wear some boots with it too! Sometimes with bare legs and ankle boots, other ways I've worn it include with taller boots and leggings.
Navy Stripe Dress With Yellow
The neutral navy and black stripes on this dress make it the perfect backdrop for a nice bright scarf, and as you can see from each of these 4 outfits, yellow scarves are a bit of a go-to for me with this dress. And sometimes I add a little yellow bag for even more bright colour against the neutral navy.
Navy Striped Tee Dress With Red
Navy and red is not a new combination, but like the colour combinations above, it's one I reach for a lot with this dress! I love the pop of a nice bright red accessory against navy, from something small like a belt or necklace, to something larger like a bag or scarf.

Navy Striped Shift Dress With Green Accessories
I think blue and green should definitely be seen together! Navy is a really nice shade of blue to wear with green, and it works well with different shades. The olive bag, green necklace and darker green bag all look good against the dress.

This is another winner for sure, Mica! Even though it took awhile to get to your 30 ways, I think you did such a fab job with each outfit! Love the yellow and blue combo myself, but I can see why you love the blue and pink as well:) Your accessories are always on point!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend so far:)
Oh this is such a fun dress, I like the black and navy stripes together. I had a dress super similar to this I totally forgot about, I don't know what happened to it. You did a great job styling this in so many different ways.

This is a pretty dress. It's great to see how you wore it so many times. I think it looks great worn with sneakers and oversize scarves. As you said, the neutral colour of the dress makes it perfect for adding statement colourful scarves or bags. It's also a lovely neutral item for layering.
ReplyDeleteI always love when you do these posts. I also like to show different ways to wear an item, it's such a great way to be sustainable.
This dress has been a work horse for you! 11 years is a long time but if it still looks great why change it. It's such a versatile piece as you've clearly demonstrated in this post.
