The Closet Warrior: dress down

Showing posts with label dress down. Show all posts

I thought I'd take one of my favorite pieces: the silk shirt, and use it as a featured item on my blog! I picked a simple silk blouse from H&M ($24.95) and decided to show the many ways to dress it up and dress it down with other pieces and accessories.

Dressing down is a phrase that comes to mind when I think of going shopping, going out to lunch, running errands, or going to class. The silk top is definitely a piece that can be worn down in many ways:

Ombre cut offs, thigh high, socks, Dr Martens, and a neon bag.
Printed leggings (tribal, floral, galaxy, etc.), a piece of cross jewelry, and a neon bag.
Destroyed denim, brown riding boots, topped of with a neon bag.

Nothing says cute and casual like a messy bun or wavy hair with a beanie. Plus, wearing only mascara on your eyes during the day gives you the perfect clean slate to get ready to go out at night!

Whether you're going to a bar/lounge, an event, a party, or out to dinner there are ways to dress up this top without looking like you're going to the office (yuck):

Leather skinnies, a rhinestone collar, a heeled sandal, and an awesome hard clutch.
Peplum skirt, some skull earrings, a heeled sandal, and a pop color clutch.

Lately there's nothing sexier than a slicked back ponytail or bun with some false lashes!
