It just so happens that, around the same time I had this epiphany, I started noticing how street style stars, e-commerce sites, and even some of my favorite fashion insiders on Instagram were getting twice the wear out of every piece in their wardrobes — by simply wearing things backwards. (It's no surprise, given how many runways over the past few seasons have shown items that like they're intentionally falling off, ill-fitting, or generally disheveled.) And while this hack has started to catch on with button-up shirts , I wanted to see what other garments I could get away with styling the "wrong" way. My mom always told me I'd buy less if I got more experimental with what I already had, and years later, I finally get what she means. Because now, I look at dresses, cardigans, tanks, and even blazers as two pieces-in-one.
