Do you ever stand in your closet and think, "I have nothing to wear"? I do it all the time. And it is totally ridiculous. My closet is overflowing! But when you get up and get dressed for work 5 out of 7 days a week, you start to get bored with your closet. I am always looking for new and different ways to work the wardrobe I have in my closet. There are endless possibilities in there but it takes some time, thought and creativity to put some new and different looks together. Luckily, I love to do that. (It all started with fashion plates when I was a little girl and now I do it with my own clothes.)
Remember the green peplum dress from The Loft that I bought from my Spring Wish List? It is a lovely dress with a beautiful pemplum detail but other than that it is a fairly plain, classic dress. Here it is:
The dress looks pretty plain on it's own so I decided to look for different ways to style this dress to get full wear out of it. Here is what I came up with:
- Here I paired the dress with a tweed jacket, champagne colored pumps and pearls. I’m wearing the classic choker pearl necklace and pearl drop earrings. This looks very “polished and professional”.
- Next, I added a white cardigan and hot pink belt with nude patent leather pointy toed pumps. This time I’m wearing a long strand of fresh water pearls. The hot pink belt adds a pop of color and defines the waist line. This is a great business casual look. I actually wore this on Easter Sunday.
- This is how I originally planned to wear the dress. I bought this polka dot belt with the pink buckle when I got the dress. I thought it looked so cute together and I knew I could get a lot of use out of the belt. I added some black open toed heels and a pearl drop necklace. The higher heels and the cinched waist give the dress a sleek look. I’d wear this to a summer wedding or to the office.
Here is a closer look at the polka dot belt:
I really love this dress and look forward to wearing it this spring and summer. I'm sure I can find a few more ways to style it throughout the season.
How would you style this dress?
