(Madewell Dress; Desk – Urban Outfitters Blazer – similar here, Kenneth Cole Heels – similar here, Vintage Belt and Bag; Date – Banana Republic Cuff – similar here, Vintage Bag, Zara Heels; Day Off – Target Sunglasses, Vintage Blouse, Kate Spade Wallet, Ruche Wedges) I’ve had my eye on this Madewell Dress from the first moment I spotted it in stores. And when it went on sale, and then the sale went on sale.. well, I needed little convincing. Airy, silky, pretty enough for days but punchy enough for nights – I instantly knew I would get tons of wear out of this little number…
Here, how I’d style the dress for my most common three occasions:
Desk: For work, I offset the flowiness of the dress with more structured pieces – a slightly wider belt, solid stacked heels and a fitted blazer. The look ends up being bright and cheery, but not over the top, for a day at the office.
Date: The dress really makes the statement here so I kept all other accessories minimal and sleek. Thin gold hoops, a skinny belt and the slickest of black stilettos make the dress feel appropriate for a night out with the boy.
Day Off: For a weekend look, I tossed on a vintage blouse for a bit more coverage and tied it up in place of a belt for added comfort. A polka dot wallet, oversized sunglasses and walkable wedges and I’m out the door for errands, brunch.. anything.
PS – The title ‘Three Way Tie’ is based on my golden rule of shopping – be sure you can wear an item in at least three different ways before buying it. I’m hoping to bring this in as a more regular feature going forward. Hope you like it!
oh my gosh this red dress is so adorable!! I love it and you styled it great three ways =)
Best,
