How to wear a dress more casually


3.1 Phillip Lim ::STYLE TIP:: Take this idea of throwing a sheer cotton sweater over a dress.


Inhabit Boatneck ::STYLE TIP:: Boat necks are very flattering and a great way to show off a little bit of of what you are layering underneath.

Gary Graham ::STYLE TIP:: Dresses that are simple or have floral designs would work great to layer with a sweater, linen, or cotton top.


Dear Tannya Bernadette,

I purchased a dress I absolutely LOVE and would like to wear it more often. It was a but more pricey than most pieces I own.

What suggestions do you have to wear some of my dresses more casually for Spring?

Sincerely,

Stuck with pricey pieces



Stuck with pricey pieces,

First of all, not every formal piece can be converted into a casual piece. But the good news is that some can.

Take a look at the inspiration above by Phillip 3.1 for Spring 2010. Take a dress and add a pullover cardigan.

When you do this you:
1. Get to wear an expensive piece you bought more than once.
2. Look more put together and classy.
3. Wear something you love more often!

Take out your sweaters and dresses and start trying to match them up.
