It’s been awhile, but I thought being a low budget student and all,
I should share more tips on versatility – this time with a dress. While a solid
colour dress is a no-brainer, the fact that it’s plain and simple makes it the
perfect piece as the basis of any style. From completely casual to a dressier
event, I’ve put together 3 different outfits using one dress. I bought this dress a long time ago from TEMT.
1. Plain and Put Together
In this look I’ve worn the dress as is, using accessories to make
the dress stand out more. I’ve worn a black clutch and statement necklace (both borrowed!) to match my
black heels. I like this dress because instead of your classic little black
dress it has more colour interest, meaning I can accessorise with black without
looking too dark and serious.

2. Layer it Up
If you’re not on the mood for a dress, go ahead and layer a shirt on
top! I feel this look is quite modest and girly, with the long sleeves and
delicate material. I love the baroque print of this cropped top! To finish off
the look I went with a complimentary colour to the dress – a light jewel toned
green (Once again, I borrowed the shoes!).

3. In a Rush
This pairing is the most casual look, and perfect for those days
where you need an easy outfit but still look nice. It’s by far my favourite
look of the 3. Probably because of my beloved converse. When I wear plain
dresses I very often pair them with a button down because they can be used for
both decoration and practicality. You can either tie it around your waist, or
wear it to fend off the wind.
Have fun!
