One Dress: Three Ways

It is essential to have a piece in your wardrobe that is versatile enough to be worn many different ways! Who wants to wear a piece of clothing the same way all of the time? Versatile dresses are a great staple to have. You can dress them up and dress them down. You just have to make sure that the fit and fabric are not too casual and not too fancy. This dress is perfect because it is casual enough to be styled during the day, but sleek enough to be dressed up at night.
Here are three outfits I paired with the dress to make it appropriate for different occasions.

1. Chambray top 2. Necklace 3. Flats

I made the dress more casual with the chambray top, but it is still a bit dressed up with the mint, jeweled statement necklace and red flats. Wear this to a lunch date/meeting or when you're just trying to look like you put a little more effort into your outfit. You could dress this down more by switching out the statement necklace for a pendant or charm necklace like this one and switch out the flats for some converse sneakers.

1. Leather jacket 2. Necklace 3. Heels

Adding a leather jacket to a dress is the perfect way to make it appropriate for going out at night. It immediately makes the outfit more edgy. This spiky statement necklace is also appropriate because it adds even more edge paired with the leather jacket. Since your colors so far are just black, gold, and blue.. choose a pair of brightly colored heels. These orange, fish scale heels work well because orange is blue's complementary color and they add texture to the outfit.

1. Cardigan 2. Necklace 3. Sandals

This outfit would be great on a summer day. I picture wearing this outfit for going to the park, or even wearing over a bathing suit for a day at the beach. It's easy enough to slip on and off, and the nix the cardigan if it's especially warm out.
