How to style the wrap shirt with 777 styles

A Spiritual Girl in a Material World

Growing up, we were conditioned to desire a new outfit for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions. It continues to be an essential element in our life. We can’t deny being happy every time we buy a new outfit, but it’s only momentarily. The outfit makes us feel good for a short while. However, it is typically a one-time-only purchase and will never be worn again.

I used to believe having essentials meant lacking style, now my mind has shifted to having more essentials and less “One of a Kind” pieces. I learned with “One of a Kind” pieces that the Cost Per Wear (CPW) is often high, and I don’t want to wear the item again because it is so unique. This leads to the pieces sitting in my closet collecting dust.

I repeat the vicious cycle each time there is a new occasion, and I purchase a “One of a Kind” piece that will never be worn again. This leads to anxiety and frustration during preparation for any occasion. The root cause is due to not having essentials in my closet. Now, I am left with a very costly wardrobe with items that are rarely enjoyed. However, there is a solution that we can turn to minimalist capsule wardrobes.

The Minimalist Capsule Wardrobe: Intentional Choices that Build a Versatile Collection

Why are we conditioned to believe that we can’t repeat pieces? Social media has conditioned us to believe that we should not repeat items because the pieces are seen by so many people.

Recently, the trend of having a minimalist capsule wardrobe has taken over YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok. According to Gone Minimal, “A minimalist capsule wardrobe contains the essential clothing pieces and nothing in excess.” Here are the top five benefits of having a minimalist capsule wardrobe:

1. Lowers the Cost-Per-Wear (CPW)
2. Increases visibility of the pieces we have in our closet
3. Reduces impulse buying, shifting to intentional buying
4. Improves the quality of the pieces we purchase
5. Diversifies with mixing and matching pieces

Remarkably, some people have shifted to having 10-20 pieces in their wardrobes. How can we take the concept of the minimalist capsule wardrobe but not focus on the number of pieces in our wardrobe? Instead, can we shift the focus to intentional buying for each piece, knowing how it will serve our greatest good over time?

After thinking about the concept of having a minimalist capsule wardrobe, I started to think about what is most important. What are the key inputs when deciding which item we should buy? Here are three questions that stuck out to me:

1. Quantity: Can I wear the piece for seven days (the whole week, including work)?
2. Flexibility: Can I pair it with pieces in my existing wardrobe?
3. Adaptability: Can I wear the piece to different occasions (work, dinner, brunch, etc.)?

Once I answered the questions above, 777 Styles were born; the concept is that before purchasing one piece, you can outline the seven days, seven looks, and seven different occasions that it can be styled. The goal is to maximize the Wears Per Piece (WPP) while minimizing your CPW. Let’s look at one of the most essential pieces for any woman’s wardrobe: the poplin wrap shirt.

The Essential One-Piece for your Wardrobe – The tied poplin shirt (Wrap Shirt)

A wrap shirt or blouse is a classic wardrobe piece worn for different occasions. The price can range anywhere from $30 to $1,700 or more. The price usually dictates the quality and whether it is from a luxury brand. No matter the cost or quality of your item, the wrap shirt or blouse should be an essential piece in your closet.

According to Vintage Dancer, around 1923-24, a new style of the blouse became briefly popular. We might describe it as a wrap blouse today, but in the 1920s it was called a Jacquette. Somewhere between a jacket and blouse, it was either worn on its own, with a skirt, or layered over a dress. It is wrapped across the hip and attached to one side, sometimes with a bow sash.

This blog will feature the tied poplin shirt from Zara in white. The tied poplin shirt is a part of the Zara Woman Collection. The shirt is 100% cotton with a lapel collar, crossover V-neck, and short sleeves. asymmetric hem. and front self-tie closure. The original price is $49.90. It is available in five sizes, XS, S, M, L, and XL. We will feature the tied poplin shirt in white, but it also comes in light tan and blue. This item runs large.

You can try to recreate these looks if you have a shirt dress in your closet. You do not need to purchase this exact shirt to create the outfits, as your wardrobe should reflect your style. If you don’t have a tied poplin shirt (wrap shirt) and the Zara shirt is not your vibe, here are some alternatives below:

1. Loft – $45.46 (On Sale)
2. Nordstrom – $113
3. Revolve – $146 (On Sale)
4. Farfetch – $477

How will you embrace 777 Styles in your lifestyle?

Now let’s evaluate the CPW for Zara Poplin Tied Shirt. I paid $49.90 for the wrap shirt and after wearing it for seven days this equates to $7.13/Wear for the week. This is a higher ROI in comparison to wearing the piece once. And I could mix and match existing and new pieces in my wardrobe with the shirt dress.

An element to consider is that sometimes, pieces may be more expensive; in return, their quality will help increase their longevity. Find a healthy balance as well as what works for your lifestyle. Sometimes, when you pay for the piece multiple times, it can possibly cost you more in the long term. For instance, you could pay $50 for a piece and only wear it twice. If you wear that piece often, you could spend over $300 over time with lower-price replacements. Think about spending $300 one time as an investment on a higher-quality piece that doesn’t need to be replaced as often.
