T.D.D. STYLE FILES | Old Favorites With A New Dress
We all have go-to favorite items in our closets that we have had for years and no matter how weathered or over-used they are you just can't go wrong adding them to your look for the day. Worn-in denim jacket, molded-to-your-feet leather boots, your grandma's fine jewelry... we can never get enough of these staples. The "Shop Your Closet' trend is popping up all around the Web, so we dove right in to pull our time-honored favorites. Here we combined the joy that is finding a darling new dress (because who doesn't love shopping for brand spankin' new clothes) with finishing a look by browsing our wardrobe and pulling unfailing items to layer on for a style that feels fresh and aged all at once.

LOOK No. 1 «« Collegiate Country »»
As "part II" to our previous post (Collegiate Cool), we stayed in theme with a university setting and brought a little country chic to campus life. Denim jackets and leather boots boldly evoke country girl panache, which is always a comforting and naturally American style to fall into. We found this simple, white dress with distinctive beading detail that was a perfect complement to freshen up our well-worn go-to items – crisp and weathered, delicate and durable, elegant and modest, bohemian and all-American. You could be strolling from lab to lecture, on your way to hop in the car for a rural weekend getaway, or on your way to meet friends for lunch. Bringing a little country and boho-chic to your style never felt so familiar.
