I often get asked how do I come up with so many styling options for a single piece of clothing, in particular a dress?! It's quite easy, just experiment with it! Even though a dress can seem like the most easiest option it can also be quite tricky. A dress can be worn one way, the way that you see it, the way that you bought it, plain and simple. But that's not the way Jacqui thinks!
I took this dress, from Forever 21 and styled it in 4 different ways, to show you how I get a lot of wear out of my dresses. This is especially great with shift dresses and body- con dresses.
The first look (top left) is what I'd call the casual, day time look. A bright pink pencil skirt on top of the violet and teal dress, with turquoise as the accent color and a fun geometric- shaped necklace. The next look, is a more night time look (top right). A black blazer on top of the dress with a fur vest on top of it. I continued the theme of the animal by adding the leopard print belt, I love mixing prints! I know it's hard to see, but the coin pendant of the necklace has leopard print in it too. Bottom left is what I would call a date- friendly outfit. You're showing enough skin to be considered a tease, legs! I threw a white button down blouse on top of the dress, then layered it with a comfy, coral sweater. I played up the blues of the dress by adding the teal belt and necklace. All it needs is a nude pump to make your legs look longer and it also keeps the attention up top! The last look, (bottom right) is what I like to call the perfect interview outfit, especially if it's fashion friendly. I layered the dress on top of a navy, pussy- bow blouse. I love to play with colors, so the added effect of red was the right touch! Viola! Four different looks with just one dress, ahhh the possibilities could be endless!
Xoxo,
Jacqui
