Wear Three Ways: Summer Stripes

Your Style

Return on Wear (ROW) is a huge factor with the pieces we pull for our clients.

We not only want you to love your new pieces, but be able to wear them in a variety of ways.

In our latest ‘Wear Three Ways,’ we have styled one of my favorite knit dresses to show you how you can mix, match and maximize one dress for 3 different occasions.

Adding sneakers to this dress may seem like an unorthodox decision, however it creates a casual look that is perfect for a day of sightseeing or a casual shopping trip with girlfriends. The chambray shirt tied at the waist creates a versatility and adds another casual layer to the spandex tank dress.

Depending on how casual your workplace is, adding a blazer and a nice pair of pumps creates a put-together Casual Friday look that will easily transition to an after work happy hour. If your office tends to be more formal, this outfit would still be great for a networking event after hours!

Maybe even lose the jacket and add a red lip for a wonderful date night look 😉

Now that we are enduring the summer months, we attend a lot of bar-b-ques. Adding a pair of wedges and a few fun pieces of jewelry spice up this casual dress and make it the perfect day time party look! Whether it is a backyard bar-b-que or a rooftop pool party, you will be perfectly dressed for the heat in this paring.

You may notice the mixture of gold and silver in this post… I am such a fan of mixing metals because it adds an unexpected layer of depth and interest. If you are wary of this jewelry tip, start with mixing dainty pieces to get the look without the bold statement. A good place to start is with either wearing gold and silver stack rings or layering thin gold and silver bracelets together. Try it, you might like it!

As always, I encourage you to mix, match and maximize the pieces you already own to give new life to your routine style… you may even find a new favorite lurking in your closet.
