I’m trying so hard to get out of my fashion rut of pull-on shorts and denim. It’s not easy. I like what I like. And I am 100% in a rut lately. If it weren’t for putting together outfits for the blog, I don’t even know if I’d get dressed. With cooler weather on the horizon, I’m excited to enjoy dinners al fresco more and that means putting on clothes! Yay, so exciting right?
Insert the perfect little dinner al fresco outfit. And thanks to my friend, Camille, the blogger behind Charmed by Camille, for influencing me with this outfit. I saw her style this little LOFT midi dress two ways and I just had to have it in my closet. It’s that perfect dress that you can dress up with heels, add a blazer or denim jacket. But also style it with some cool sneakers for a more casual look. It’s not too dressy, and not too casual. Which makes it really versatile.
Versatile Dresses To Have In Your Closet
Having easy versatile dresses in your closet makes getting dressed so easy. Whenever I’m shopping for any dress really, I always try to invest in the versatile ones I know I’ll get more use out of. I don’t like being pigeonholed into wearing something to just one thing and one thing only. Sure I have a few fancy dresses but that’s expected to have for weddings and events. And then there are a few super casual dresses like a t-shirt dress. But I like the majority of my dresses in my closet to be this type. Super-versatile!
To me when it’s a versatile dress it means I can add heels to it and a clutch for a nice dinner, but also very easily dress down with a slide or sneaker. And for those of you who are heading into the office, these dreses can also be worn to your 9-5 with a great pump and blazer if you need to. Bonus points if it can go from season to season. In fact, the colors in this dress allow it to be worn in the spring, summer and even fall. This dress will be great with a leather ankle bootie and trench for fall. While we’re about to head into the summer to fall transition period, those are always ideal pieces to have on hand.
