Over the past week I've been busy brainstorming new ways to demand more from your wardrobe.  It's all too easy to get into outfit ruts, repeating the same combinations time and time again.  Instead of defaulting to your tried and true pairings, spice it up with lots of layers, awe-inspiring accessories, and unexpected ensembles!

Below I've selected a stylish yet simple Stella McCartney top that can be worn countless ways.  Check out the options for some motivation and then get to work styling and re-styling your own favorite top (or sweater, jacket, jeans, etc.) to stretch your wardrobe further.
