This dress is one of my fantastic Target finds last summer. It was on major sale and I had to grab it. It’s hard for me to pass up a simple LBD. Like white tees, you can never too many black dresses. I’ve worn it repeatedly in the warm and hot of summer, styled with different accessories. I wore it during one of my appearances on CBS in LA and I’ve worn it on a casual Saturday, paired with wedges.
Style Flip: Flipping it for Fall+Winter is very simple. The flip trick is layering. I started with a baby blue striped Oxford shirt underneath. Any oxford will do, especially a crisp white one but in this case, the black dress deserved print detail.
I love pairing prints together. Animal prints and stripes are classic. The skinny belt is subtle and doesn’t overwhelm the stripe print or the entire outfit. The brown hues pair perfectly with the arrowhead statement necklace and gold bangle.
Add an extra leg layer. Leggings not only keep your legs warm but they also add another dimension to the look. Because the dress is shorter and above the knee, leggings elongate the leg, whether paired with a chunky heel or ankle booties.
Finishing with a blazer is the last layering tip. Blazers polish off any look, completing the entire ensemble. This velvet one is a major winter staple. Worn at the office, it can be removed if you get too hot or kept on for that important pitch meeting or presentation.
