It’s been a while since I wore a dress, which is unusual since they are seriously one of my favorite things to wear (especially for work).
I find that a dress makes for such an easy outfit. No worries about matching top to bottom- it’s done for you!
Today I am showing how by just adding a few little extras, you can turn a plain dress into a stylish outfit.
As you can see on the right, this pretty blue dress has some gorgeous draping- but other than that it is very plain.
By adding a cute belt, a cardigan, necklace and boots- I’ve now made this into a work appropriate and stylish look.

By the way, Happy Birthday Grams! Hope you have a great day!

Thank you! I hadn’t heard from you in so long I wondered if you were still reading! Great to hear from you again! Thanks for taking the time to comment! 🙂
Love the dress & cardi, but something about those boots just doesn’t sit with me. They look almost to casual.
I think you’re right- there is something off about these boots. Maybe they are too short, I’m not sure exactly what it is either- but you’re on to something!
Thanks so much for writing!
Love the way you worked the dress with the cardi…that belt is perfect!
I just love the belt you paired with it!
how awesome – its amazing how a few little simple things can transform a dress – that belt really took it to another level – i love it – thanks for stopping by and your lovely comment.
