If you happen to spy on Snapchat the other week, you know I headed over to the PopSugar X dressbarn Barn to Table event. As someone who loves reinventing her clothes (remember this men's oxford shirt that I turned into a one shoulder number?), then you know I love a good styling wizardry opportunity. I've worked with dressbarn in the past before (for The Cut feature here), and I just seeing how different women, of all shapes, sizes and ages, can seemingly style a dress so drastically different.

Take this floral pussybow tie dress for instance. I've worn it pretty classically here: tie in front, a simply belt to cinch the waist and some grey over the knee boots to give it a bit of a boho 70s vibe. But the other night, with about 5 minutes to spare before my Uber arrived, I decided to mix things up a bit and wrap the tie around once in the back, once more in the front, only to tie it ultimately in the back, making for an instant built in choker dress. It then had me itching to wearing my other pussybow blouses a little bit differently these days -- instantly modern, instantly chic with just a simple change.

Also, I wanted to say how lovely it was to finally meet Brandi Milloy, the host of the evening! She's such a doll and if you haven't already, make sure to subscribe to her YouTube channel right this way. Spoiler alert: I may be very biased toward her chicken pot pie recipe that she shared with us.
