One Little Dress...

     I've taken this cute little dress from Forever21 and reinvented ways of wearing it. I hate wearing things how they're meant to be worn, unless it's something super dynamic by itself! The color of this dress is great especially for color blocking.

     The major theme I was going for was the color blocked look, great for the warmer months. The first outfit (top- left) is great for a night out, the pink dress is worn underneath a teal mini skirt with a tassel belt to show off the waist and it also ties in the striped blazer. The look next to it, wears the dress under a button down top, in person, the pink in the blouse looks super similar to the dress, but the camera seems to make it look a lot lighter. It's a really casual feel outfit, the denim jacket also helps to fulfill that, and the necklace ties in the blue from the jacket. Great outfit for a day in the city with some friends. Bottom left outfit is a more sophisticated, pulled together look. Very office friendly and fun! A basic blue button down is worn over the little pink dress and then a very bright colored sweater over top of that. the belt helps to show off the waist and the scarf adds some more color to the outfit. The next outfit is a more bohemian look, my trademark looks... looking through my calendar to find an event to wear it to already! The LPD is worn under a black t- shirt and then a teal button down is thrown on top of it, unbuttoned. the belt helps to, once again show off those womanly curves! This outfit definitely called for a statement necklace! 

     So I was still feeling experimental and tried the LPD in another option. I have it worn under a sheer citron, maxi dress. In person, the pink of the dress shows through more than it does in this picture. I'd wear this to a date with a special someone! 

Keep mixing and matching, readers!

One Dress, Four Looks

          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!
