This $48 Dress Is So Good, I'm Not Even Embarrassed I Wore It 3 Times in a Week

I'm going to make an assumption: when you buy a new piece clothing, it's with the intention to wear it more than once. Save for occasionwear you're purchasing specifically for a wedding, birthday, or special event, I think it's safe to assume that when you buy something new, the idea is to get a lot of wear out of the item (and to be clear, I'm all about re-wearing special occasion pieces from jumpsuits to dresses).

As a self-proclaimed "outfit repeater", I routinely wear things multiple times a week whether it's repeating the exact same outfit more than once in seven days or styling a single item differently for various events. Yes, I'm careful to wear a repeat look in front of different people (if I wore an outfit to work, I might wear it again to dinner with friends, and so forth), but out of sheer laziness, I tend to lean on formulas I love rather than spin my wheels re-thinking entirely different looks. Instead, I love the challenge of making a single item feel new by way of fresh styling, which is exactly what I set out to do with this POPSUGAR Printed Midi Dress ($48, originally $64).

From the moment I set eyes on this dress, I knew it was my perfect day-to-night style: the classic shirtdress silhouette reads smart with a poppy floral print that brings a playful element to the look. Cut in a midi length with buttons and a self-tie belt that cinches in perfectly at the waist, it's ultra-flattering but also super comfortable as the fabric is really soft and lightweight. In other words, it's the perfect Summer dress that you can dress up or down, so I did (three times in one week and no, I'm not embarrassed about it).

Ahead, see how I wore this POPSUGAR Printed Midi Dress to work, out to dinner, and on a weekend day full of activities. Then, shop each of my looks which feature Summer's biggest accessory trends like barely-there strappy sandals, seashell jewelry, woven handbags, and more.

Candice Huffine: "Size Does Not Equal Health, and Weight Does Not Equal Worth"

Image Source: Luvlette Born in Washington DC and raised in a Maryland suburb, Candice Huffine did a little bit of everything when she was growing up, from being captain of the cheerleading squad to taking her turn as a pageant queen. "It was 'typical' in a Hallmark movie kind of way, I guess," Huffine tells POPSUGAR. "These details are important to mention because they did influence my life path. I willingly put myself on a stage at every turn - and not always kind ones - to do the things I loved or to follow a dream I had." Huffine, 39, signed her first modeling contract in 2000. She was "determined" to be a model, despite the fashion industry being notoriously discriminatory toward plus-size people. Knowing the odds were stacked against her propelled Huffine even further toward realizing her dream. "When I received a contract as a plus-size model, it unlocked a new mission in me: to not pursue modeling just for myself, but to push har...
