How to Turn a Dress into a High-Waisted Skirt

Sweater – H&M | Dress – Oak + Fort | Purse – Coach | Boots – Collin Stuart

My sister gifted me a beautiful slip dress from Oak + Fort, but it took me so long to finally wear it out. Quite honesty, I just didn’t know how to style it, and so it sat in my closet. It was winter by the time I wanted to wear it out, so I had to get creative and figure out how to style it for the cold weather.

Turning a midi/maxi dress into a skirt is pretty simple. First, put on your dress and then a body hugging cropped shirt. Next, just throw over a sweater or tee and tuck it into the cropped tank. It creates the illusion that you’re wearing a skirt, when really, it’s a dress. This trick is a good way to save money if you don’t want to buy a separate skirt or if you’re missing a skirt from your wardrobe.
