How to: 2 Ways to Style 1 Dress!
Do you ever struggle with finding different ways of styling one dress? I have definitely been there, and felt frustrated that I wore a dress with the same shoes and accessories ever since I bought it. This summer, I experimented a lot with clothes. I found ways to style the same pieces by creating different looks with them! I do not have a huge walk-in closet, which means that I do not own piles of clothes. So I found it very helpful to learn how to combine pieces in my closet with each other and create totally different styles! Let me tell you that it takes time to figure out what clothes look good together, and what colours fit with each other. I get my knowledge and inspiration from other bloggers, and I hope this post will leave you inspired as well! :)
So as you can see from the photos, this dress is very bright and colourful! It is already a statement piece in my outfit, which is why I decided not to add any many accessories to it. Also, not every colour goes well together with this pink dress. Some of the colours that look amazing with pink are nude, black or dark neutrals, and metallics. You can also experiment and possibly wear pink with an equally colourful accessory, such as yellow, mint green, or red! Give these a try and figure out what works for you!
I decided to style this dress two different ways! The first one is a little bit more glamour, and the second one is casual and sporty!
The First Look: Dress + Nude Pumps + Silver Bag
I added nude pumps to this look because these shoes look amazing with literally anything! Heels created a more romantic vibe to this look, which means that you can wear this type of look on a date, at a brunch with the girls, and even to work! As you can see, there are two statement pieces in this outfit, which is the dress and this silver bag. I think it is totally okay to rock two statement pieces! My rule of thumb is to never wear more than three different colours in one look to avoid looking like a super colourful person. Lol!
The Second Look: Dress + White Sneakers + Denim Jacket
Honestly, before this summer, I never wore my dresses with sneakers. I don't know where I got the idea that dresses are girly and should be worn with girly shoes, but I completely changed my mind about it! I think that wearing dresses with sporty shoes is so cool and - most importantly - super comfy! These white sneakers look amazing with any dress in my closet. It is an absolute must to have a pair of this type of shoes!
Another important piece of this second look is this oversized denim jacket. This is actually a men's jacket. Lol! I love it! Oversized tops are so trendy right now. A quick tip to style such a jacket is to style it as if it were a sweater or a cardigan!
What do you think of these two looks? How would you style this dress? Let me know in the comments. :)
