From Date Night to Casual

Dress: Diane Von Furstenburg Rib-Knit Midi Dress; Shoes: Jessica Simpson Parisah Platform Pumps; Jacket: Old Navy Distressed Jean Jacket for Women; Casual Shoes: Tory Burch Sneaker; Earrings: Bauble Bar Shelby Hoop Earrings, Similar Option

Diane Von Furstenburg… the name is synonymous with the wrap dress. I was fortunate enough to get to visit her flagship store in the MeatPacking District a couple year’s back and picked up this little knit number. In the two years that I have owned it, I have NEVER worn it. It falls in the category of being so pretty that I just like to look at it. But no more! I need to wear my clothes.

I decided to style this for both a date night and also for a casual day out. I was a little iffy whether the sneakers would look right given the length of the dress on me, but I think it looks cute. The dress material is definitely thicker and would be great for a cooler day, certainly not a hot summer day. And it conforms to your body and hugs you in in just the right places.

I also LOVE the colors! And the earrings! This is another Bauble Bar purchase which is not my regular place to buy fashion jewelry (but there was an excellent sample sale going on). These earrings dress up the dress in either scenario and create a really fun feminine look.

XOXO
