I’m not really one for resolutions, but with the start of the new year, I’ve given a lot of thought to my closet (and to how I shop)! I’ve decided that I’m really going to focus on the classics – items that are timeless and that can worn over and over, just like this long sleeve wrap dress. No need to drop money on a lot of trendy items when a few classic pieces will do, right?
To mix up classic pieces like this little wrap dress, accessories can take you a long way (without spending a lot)! This $15 scarf is one of my new favorites, and how fun are the bright tights? I also love how my lariat necklace doubles as a layered bracelet.

You’re right, this is such a classic and it’s great to see you getting use from such a versatile piece. Love the way you styled it. I adore the purple tights, this totally reminds me to wear my purple tights again.
I agree! I have been on a shopping ban and it has helped me to realize that my closet should consist mostly of classic pieces with a few fun things thrown in! Love the purple tights! Susan
Yes to classic pieces!! I’m a huge fan of them (and this beautiful dress on you!)
You look great! You’re right, the scarf and bright tights totally amp up the pretty dress!
Wrap dresses are my absolute favorite! I’m guilty of wearing all black a lot so I like your pop of color with the tights. I need to give it a try.

This year I am really trying to curb my spending for several months of the year so that I don’t end up with so many trendy pieces! The black dress is definitely a classic.
I always forget about my wrap dress! This post makes me want to dig it back out again!
Love that you are wearing colored tights….so much fun!
Love the purple and the black. I am with you, totally want to invest in classics and more tailored items this year.
I’ve been thinking the same thing in regards to my closet…definitely time to start focusing on the classics! A black wrap dress is definitely a great starting point and it looks absolutely gorgeous on you!

Love this look! I’m the same way…my resolutions aren’t really full blown resolutions. It’s just to never pay full price for awesomness and to try and cook at home more since I love cooking, just don’t have the time
I am all about classic pieces, and I love how you styled this dress! The scarf and tights are the perfect touches!
Beautiful as always friend!! I need to do this too. More classics, less trendy. I hope life is going great for you.:)

I’m totally with you on that shopping philosophy! My shopping budget is going to be tiny for the foreseeable future, so I will be strategically planning every piece I buy.
I love the classic black wrap dress! It’s so versatile for many different occasions, and looks fantastic on you!
What a clever idea to use your necklace as a bracelet! The wrap dress is definitely a very flattering, classic piece. I can see why you chose it and I’m sure you’ll get lots of use out of it! -Gina

LOVE this dress! I think I can pull these off while pregnant too! It’s really cute that you wear the colorful tights/stockings. They make you so much more fashionable than going with just black all the time!
I love the black dress but I can’t stop looking at those tights, what a fun color!

A pretty wrap dress is classic, and I love your pretty black number – it goes with everything and anything! xx
Love the purple tights lady!

I am with you – finding the classics that are going to stand the test of time is a great idea. I love when I can mix it up with something “plain” like a black dress – the different accessory options are so varied and can take you through more seasons as well!
