 Layering is one of the easiest ways to rewear the same pieces without having to repeat entire looks. Style your white top under a simple slip dress for a look that's sexy without screaming OTT. Black lace heels and a grpahic clutch add funy and flirty touches.

The versatility of a white top is not to be questioned. Case in point? When paired with a pair of pleated pants, the traditional top-and-trousers 'office uniform' is given an instant update. A pair of gold earrings keeps the look elegant, while a bright yellow bag and blue heels are fun but practical picks.
