from dressy to downtown

Leave a response ->

So, you have to buy a dress for an event this Spring, but you want a dress you can wear more than once. That’s not just pipe dream, it’s actually a real possibility. If you choose properly, you can wear the dress to the event and then easily wear it to dinner with friends on another night. Choose a style that is flirty but with simple modern lines. This Ella Moss passionate pink dress can easily be dressed up for a party, or dressed down for an evening out with friends.
For a dressier look, add an exaggerated evening trench, shoes with shine, dazzling dangling earrings, and a whimsical bag. To take the dress downtown, give it some mod details. Top it off with a cropped leather jacket, add some black accent pieces like shoe boots, bracelets, and a bag that brings it all together. This outfit looks great going to a club or a hot new restaurant. You may even consider going into your closet and checking out some of the dresses you have. Maybe they can make the transition from dressy to downtown.
