Reducing the number of times you dry clean your clothing is not only cost effective and better for the garments but reduces the number of harsh dry cleaning chemicals that are used daily. Take one dress from day to night and save the world and on your dry cleaning bill!

 

I suggested the Gypsy Glam Dress with a cute pair of black gladiator sandals and a denim jacket during the day to one of my besties on the West Coast. All she needs to do is lose the jean jacket and switch the gladiator sandals to a pair of pumps for the Coachella-esque rooftop party she’s attending the same day. She also added the Kara Ross Rarr Clutch for some fun animal print pattern mixing from day to night!
