Outside of My Scrubs: Salvage the Style...and Repeat

Y’all remember when I posted this photo, like, a year ago?

I wore it to a brunch with my beautiful soror/resident friends (I mean, my program has ALL the AKAs…sheesh) #BlackGirlMagic.

But nonetheless, I have been in love with this dress since I first laid eyes on it years ago; so much that I bought it in another color.

Memba dat? #Memberberries Lol

Anyway, one of the things I’m big on is reusing what I already have to come up with a brunch/church/out-and-about look for the weekend, if I happen to have a day off. 😣 In this present day world of heavy IG posts, one could easily get lost in the whole Hilary Banks, “I don’t wear anything more than once” persona.

Nah breh ✋🏾I own everything in the same color, and still own a good chunk of most of clothes from my “blossoming age” (AKA my broke and humbling college years).

I am a HUGE supporter of recycling clothing items and have no problem seeing myself twice every once in a while, and I hope y’all aren’t either!

Here’s two looks of me recycling this dress. I originally just paired the dress with a classic black leather jacket. But when I walked outside, the weather was like…nah girl, let’s find something warmer. So I paired it with a long black trench coat, a straw hat (totes out of my comfort zone, but hey, I spent money on it so 🤷🏽‍♀️), and one of my favorite pashmina scarves (I mean, you see I’m wearing it in the original photo on my head, right? 😆).
