Monday needs a pick me up! How about a spontaneous fashion science project? Something you too can do yourself! All it takes is a couple extra morning minutes, a dash of creativity, a closet full of your clothes and accessories, and one little back dress. And here’s your challenge.... Could you re-dress the same little black dress over and over again for 31 days straight? Well, leave it to the fabulous Valerie Elizabeth of the Society Stylist to come up with this fantastic fashion assignment! Welcome to the Little Black Dress Experiment! Starting with one little black dress named the “Valerie Shift" by Elli Grace. Valerie, is wearing her “Valerie” 31 days in a row, along with her ever changing colored bands of the gorgeous Michele Watch she dons, re-styling her look differently each day. While documenting not only her day, via photo as well as in story, she also gives us readers the inside information on exactly how she styled it and where each added accessory or layering piece came from, across her fashion adventures! Brilliant.

What is so fantastic about this experiment is that Valerie is taking lemons, making some stylish lemonade and showing us that we all can do it too! With all of us being effected by tight budgets, it becomes not only fashionably frustrating, but also uninspiring when working with only what you have. And with that in mind, Valerie felt that it was time challenge herself, as well as us all, by inspiring us to take just a few more minutes in the morning and find a new combination you’d never thought of before. And she’s done an impeccable job in creating new looks everyday! What I love about it all, is that you can mix up your wardrobe with old and new, expensive and not and create looks that are still stylish! And if you learned anything from my Fashion & Style 101 series, being fashionable and being stylish are two different things. I’m always a fan of working with what you got! If you’ve got it? Flaunt it! Right ladies?

Just halfway through her Little Black Dress Experiment, and with 15 more days to go, Valerie is on a fashion roll. So go catch up on the last 16 days and keep up with the next 15! You will be fashionably inspired everyday! And don’t forgot to give Valerie feedback on the stylish lemonade you have brewed! Share your idea’s with the world. We can all inspire each other! From your Editor-in-Chic.... I’ll see you on the streets!
