One Dress: Two Looks

I love it when the clothes I have serve multiple purposes. That's when I feel I really get my money's worth. For example here is a simple yellow dress that can be dressed up for work, dressed to go to dinner or even for a night out in the town. The first look pairs the dress with a black blazer, gold sandals and black and gold accessories to add a chic look. This is perfect for going to dinner and if you have some plans of hitting the town afterwards, you can simply remove the blazer and exchange the earrings for smaller ones and instead add a long statement necklace. (You don't want to overdue it with accessories.I always like to keep my jewelry at two...for example if I have big earrings and a big necklace..I won't due a big bracelet and vice versa). The second look uses the same yellow dress paired with a striped collar shirt and navy blue cardigan...it's all about layering. This look is perfect for work and I just love the way navy blue and yellow go together. You can also add a skinny belt around the waist if you'd like. These looks can be done with your favorite color of dress, not necessarily yellow. Instead of yellow maybe use a red dress. It's all about getting your money's worth when you buy clothes.
