As my previous Outfit of the Day posts seem to be the most popular out of all my posts I decided to bring you three in one! I'll be using one basic dress from Primark, and styling it three ways for different occasions and weather in our ever-changing British climate. I bought this dress last Summer, and with Primark's stock turnover rate it most probably isn't being sold any more, but it is a pretty staple piece that Primark brings out every year in different variations and prints so not to worry! If you're after this dress chances are Primark have brought out a better looking version of it this year!
For Summer, strip this look down to its skeleton parts - what the essentials are to this look. Ditching the denim jacket gives more emphasis to the finer detailing of the waist belt and necklace. Having the shoulders on show steps this look up to something a lot more free, instantly increasing its Summer feel.
Add a jumper, tights and warmer shoes to protect your skin from the harsh Autumn/Winter weather. By taking away the accessories used in the first two looks, attention instead is then drawn to the jumper, highlighting this look as one for the colder months. All focus is pulled straight to the jumper, and no one will notice that you've been wearing the same dress all summer!

Team this dress with a light jacket to give some warmth against the mild Spring winds, and sandals to bring a touch of Summer to your look. This outfit is perfect for casual social events - lunch dates, BBQ's, lounging around with friends etc.

Do you have any staple pieces that you wear regardless of the season? How do you wear them?

I really like the dress & belt. Do you know what ebay seller it was from? :)
ReplyDeletexo
Thanks! I can't remember the specific one - I think I've had it for around 4 years now, definitely worth just typing leather waist belt in and looking through the results though :)
DeleteThis dress is gorgeous and you look stunning like always Alice :) Really love how you've styled it for different weather, it's so brilliant to find such a versatile piece :D
