Do you ever feel like you have a lot of clothing, but don’t know what to do with it all to make it seem different? I know a lot of days I will stand in front of my closet whining to my husband about how I don’t have anything to wear! (I can be a little dramatic at times).

In this segment {Mix it Up} I will be showing you, (and also myself!) how to wear one specific garment in multiple ways.

Today I chose a simple button up collared shirt. This is a common item that most people own, and though it is extremelyย versatile, it tends to be worn the same way every time. Here are 5 ways that a simple collared shirt can be worn to look likeย completelyย different outfits!

Get ready for a brand new closet!

…Or at least a couple new ideas! :)

1.)ย ย The Classic Look:ย ย I love this outfit because it can be thrown together quickly, but still looks put together and even has a fun accent color and accessories. Get this look!

2.)ย ย Dressed to Impress:ย Pairing a button up with your favorite little black dress is a fun way to change up your wardrobe without breaking the bank! Get this look!

3.)ย ย The Nautical Look:ย Everyone loves a good striped blazer! A blazer can be a great way to dress up the classic button up and give it the change you have been looking for. Get this look!

4.)ย ย Color my World:ย Donโ€™t be afraid to add a little color to your wardrobe! On those extra drab winter days a bright colored pair of pants can be exactly what you need. And the layering look is warm and cute! Get this look!

5.)ย ย A Pop of Red:ย ย A long skirt can be a great way to dress up the average button up. Donโ€™t forget to add some contrasting colors for interest! Get this look!

Has anyone gone “shopping” in their own closet lately and found new looks?
