I wore this dress to a formal a couple of weeks ago with statement earrings and black heels. Instead of buying another dress that I can only wear to formal functions, I decided to purchase something that is more versatile. I can wear this dress to church with booties, out to dinner, or more casually, shown here. Although these platform sandals are no longer available, I found a few replacements.

Get to shopping!

Red Out

This outfit is a product of my time at tibi this summer. For the longest time, I couldn’t decide where to wear this and ended up wearing it to a fraternity formal this past weekend. I love that it’s different, that no one has it, and that it makes a statement. Typically when I shop, I look for pieces that are standout pieces, that can’t be found everywhere or on everyone. This combo did just that.

I Love You

I love adding a vest to almost every outfit. You can probably tell from my posts that vests occur in about every other one. I feel like a vest can pull together any outfit or dress down a dress. I styled it with a simple tee and distressed denim to make the outfit a little more special. Try adding a vest or two to your wardrobe, and you just might agree.

Another NYC Purchase

I was hesitant to purchase this dress in New York this summer because I wasn’t sure if it looked poorly made or if I would even wear it. It’s not a dress that I can wear to class, and sadly, it’s not blue or red for SMU’s boulevard season. To my surprise and delight, I have worn it many times sense being back at school, and I’m happy with the quality! The cut is extremely flattering on all body types, too. I love all of the feminine details: pom-poms, crochet cutouts and a low back.
