How to Capsule Wardrobe: Dresses Edition
I’ve always had an eye for an article of clothing that stands out from the crowd. When it comes to dresses, this is where I like to spice things up a bit. and step outside of the box of basics. While it is helpful to have the basic black and white base dresses, I like to have something a bit fancier in my wardrobe to help me feel my best. These are some of my favorite going out dresses that I’ve worn over and over again:
A white dress is a must in any wardrobe to give a great base for cover ups/ sweaters, etc. While I have many white dresses, this is one of my most worn and loved. This is a tunic dress from Zara. It is the perfect summer dress for traveling to cities like Rome or Florence (can you tell I love Italy?) This dress gives me the uniqueness that I look for from the rest of the crowd while still having the neutral colors I love.
Little Black Dress
Although I love to change it up and add in prints and color into my wardrobe through dresses, a black dress is a wardrobe essential, transitioning effortlessly from casual to formal settings. The LBD (Little Black Dress) flatters every body type, providing endless styling possibilities. Pair it with a denim jacket or cardigan for a casual vibe, elevate with a statement belt, and experiment with sneakers, ankle boots, or heels. Layering options include trendy blazers or chic scarves, while bold earrings or stylish hats add flair. The black dress becomes the ultimate canvas for expressing your unique style!
A Pop of Color
A colorful dress that complements your skin tone is a wardrobe transformer, infusing your closet with a burst of vibrancy. What makes it even more special is that this dress is based on the uniqueness of each person and which colors suit them the best. Whether it's a warm-toned palette accentuating your glow or cool tones bringing out your natural radiance, the right colors can transform your entire vibe. Picture yourself in a dress that perfectly aligns with your skin undertones – it's like wearing joy and radiance. The result? An effortlessly chic and vibrant wardrobe that mirrors your unique beauty.
Floral dresses and neutrals are a match made in style heaven! For a chic look, pair a floral dress with neutral accessories like a straw hat or a beige bag. Rocking a denim or white jacket can add a laid-back vibe, while neutral cardigans or sweaters bring cozy charm. Don't shy away from neutral sneakers for a casual twist. The key is balance – let the florals pop, and neutrals will play the perfect supporting role, creating a harmonious and effortlessly stylish ensemble. Mix, match, and slay the floral and neutral combo with confidence
