Have you flipped to a fashion magazine editorial on an investment piece and ways to style it or how to transition a $1000 shirt from summer to fall and sigh because no matter how good the "investment" is on that article of clothing, it's still more than your monthly rent? If not, then I envy you. If yes, read on.
This dress is $15.50, found at Forever 21 in three different colors (rust, cobalt, mustard...some colors might be sold out online so check the stores) and can be worn a million different ways: 

1. with chandelier earrings and gold flat sandals for a summer evening, 
2. with a beaded shawl or top and heels for a fancier outing, 
3. under a button up shirt or cardigan for movie with friends, 
4. as a skirt under a striped shirt and ballerina flats for classes, 
5. under a band shirt (Slayer dedicated to Tim) and leather jacket for an edgier outfit, 
6. with a blazer, scarf and flat boots for fall,
7.  under multiple layers, a coat and a few pairs of wool tights for winter...
