Looking for a way to spruce up that bland, white graduation dress that you thought you’d never wear again? It’s probably been collecting dust in your closet all summer, and you’re probably feeling pretty guilty that it’s going to waste. Well, this week’s Fashionista lends and easy solution to that problem. By adding a casual cropped jacket and layering simple summer accessories, this Fashionista takes that formerly drab look out of her closet and onto the streets.
The key to dressing down is to keep it simple; stick with classic accessories like this Fashionista’s wide, woven brown belt, cinched at her waist to create a subtle curve in her figure. Try adding a necklace, or even a statement ring- a simple dress such as this one makes it easy to accessorize without going overboard. Her cropped jacket is a key piece in this ensemble; the length is perfect, emphasizing her waist while still allowing the delicate detail on the hem of the dress to grab some attention as well. And, as always, add some Ray Bans- you can never go wrong adding this classic look to an outfit.
Hint: For a classic look like this Fashionista, try this Levi’s classic trucker jacket- it’s fitted enough to hug your figure, but still has room to move around. If you’re feeling daring (and in the mood to splurge), try this Friend of Mine leather jacket with fringe.
