Wardrobe Re-Wear : Black Turtleneck

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Wardrobe Re-Wear.  These are my favorite posts, but at the end of the semester, it was just too hard to get one done.  Now it’s back, but I’m switching things up a little–I’m taking a black turtleneck from a recent post and showing you another way to wear it.  A black turtleneck is a must-have basic wardrobe piece that never goes out of style!  As with any basic piece, a black turtleneck can be worn for a variety of occasions.

OUTFIT 1: Office Ready

This outfit was recently featured as part of my post about Kushyfoot.  You can see more pics and get outfit details here.  For the office, I love pairing a black turtleneck with a patterned skirt and boots.  It’s a very put-together look that will keep you warm in the winter.

OUTFIT 2: Date Night Ready

You can quickly transform your outfit into a date night one by switching the skirt for some distressed jeans.  Here, I swapped the accessories and shoes as well to completely change up the look. I came so close to passing up these jeans when I spotted them on the clearance rack at J. Crew Factory, but I’m so glad I came to my senses before I left the store.  
Turtleneck: JCP, $7.99 (with code JANBUY50)
Jeans: J. Crew Factory (no longer available)
Clutch: SewSarahR Etsy shop, $35 (with added strap- $40).  I purchased this as a Black Friday special with a pair of earrings for $32.50 ($37.50 with strap)
Smoking flats: Old Navy, $6.50 (similar, $14.99; similar,  $9.88 w/ code EXTRA10)
Earrings: Selene earrings in Opal from ElisabethAshlie Etsy Shop, $17 (similar, $15)
Necklace: Forever 21, $4.80 (no longer available online)

If you’re loving these outfit ideas, be sure to follow me on Instagram (@brightonabudget).  I frequently post #ootd/#wiw, and pass along good deals as soon as I see them!  I hope these posts give you some ideas about how to shop your own closet and match-up clothes you never thought of pairing together!

    Typo up there….sorry for the deleted comment. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I've been drooling over those ON smoking flats every time you post them on Instagram! Today I have to return some stuff in store, and if they have a pair in my size they are definitely coming home with me! ๐Ÿ™‚
