1 Dress, 5 WAYS!!!!

(The Dress)
In this recession, it's not very wise to be spend money on a million different dresses. Why not find one versatile dress and accesorize it to look different everytime? I took up this challenge with a regular dress I bought at Macy's. I pretty much accesorized it with different jackets and belts...

Next, I added a purple cropped bomber jacket. The purple draws the eye up and the cut of the jacket should make an hourglass shape and create a slim waist...

For an edgier look, I put on a black blazer over the dress and tied a white belt to bring the eye to the waist.
For a preppier polished look, I added a blouse to the mix and tied a ribbon to keep it from being plain...
I kept the top buttons unbuttons to make the pretty ruffles peek out and then tied it below the waist.
Last look...
I used my navy military jacket and tied it with the same with white belt, used in the blazer look. The jacket gave the dress a tougher feel and made it more casual...
Looks amazingly adorable, right? One of my favorite looks with the dress.
I also tried the dress out with a glittery belt on the blazer and military jacket... I decided that it would be a little too much to wear casually... But for a night out, it would be so cute...
and . Needless to say, it looked super cute with the miltary jacket because it was a great combination. But it did make the blazer more polished and refined.
Remember everything can look a different way, if you pair it with the right things. Good luck, my pretties!!!

Fall into Autumn

Seasons change, bright yellow, purple, and orange leaves float and drift gracefully in the breeze, and the weather gets colder. Dress for this change in season by layering.
During fall, The thing I like to do the most is hunt for the best hoodies and coats. There's something oddly comforting about having the perfect coat. Coats are essential for looking adorable and keeping warm in the winter. I have officially fallen in love with capes, trench coats and houndstooth patterns. I recommend Modcloth.com for absolutely amazing coats at affordable coats.
Shoes can often make or break a fall outfit because you are mostly covered up. Knee highs boots are really in right now. I find a couple of good ones on Lulus.com
A jacket, such as a blazer can also help with an otherwise boring outfit. It can automatically enhance an mundane outfit. A cardigan can help too. I like to find a long cardigan or blazer, leave it unbuttoned and take a belt or ribbon and tie or buckle it around the waist. Remember to dress warmly and stylishly. Fall into that pile of leaves and enjoy your fall air...
