One dress, two ways One dress, two ways
We all have a staple item in our wardrobe that we never get tired of. Whether it's a shirt or a dress, you'd love to wear it every day, for any occasions. and why not? Anything is possible with a little imagination and accessories! I created for you two completely different looks, using a super simple black dress as the base. The formula works as well with a pair of pants and a plain top (preferably a neutral color to allow for more possibilities).
Day look / Casual
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of a day look, is comfortable and convenient. Whether its to spend the afternoon at the park with your friends or go shopping downtown, you want to have everything you need and not regret your choice. That's why I chose the classic jean jacket because it has a very summery look, the resealable chest pockets are ideal for your keys or your money and if it gets too hot, you can wear it around your waist.
I could've opted for a backpack as well, but when it's hot, we don't want to have something stuck to our backs. Hence why I chose the Rudsak bag Maddy in Small or Medium - simple (but effective) black bag. It's just big enough to hold all your essentials (wallet, glasses, sunscreen, etc.), but small enough to not get in your way. Complete the look with a flat sandal for maximum comfort, especially for those spontaneous long summer strolls! The scarf adds a touch of color to the outfit and can also be worn in the hair to protect your head from the sun (or just add as touch of glamour)!
Night look / chic
With a simple base like a little black dress, it's easy to create a chic look. Switch up the jean jacket with a fitted blazer or a shawl as in the example above. A light shawl like this is practical as you can easily put it in your bag if it gets too hot. You can also play with your imagination as to how to wear it! Exchange the colored scarf for the necklace of your choice. As the dress has no pattern, you can afford a longer or even a statement necklace (click here for tips on how to wear the statement necklace !!).
You can easily keep the same handbag for the day to night look as it's super simple and works great with the two looks. Complete the ensemble with a fancier sandal, whether it's heels, platform or flat, the important thing is that you are comfortable and ready to party! Laced or gladiator style sandals would be a perfect match!
As I said earlier, the key is in the accessories. The same dress, with a cork sandal or with a leather sandal ... completely different look! The possibilities are endless! Hopefully I've given you an excuse to wear your favorite item even more * winkwink *We all have a staple item in our wardrobe that we never get tired of.
