Look 1: With a pair of Mules This immediately takes this simple slip dress to another level, making it very chic, classy and sexy enough to head on out for cocktails. It is important to note that any style of mules of your choice will give you the same chic feeling, so go on and have fun with your favorite pair. *wink
Look 2: Worn with a flare skirt. A flare skirt elevates this dress, giving it so much character, while turning it into a two – piece outfit. The key is to pair a contrasting color of skirt with the dress or you can jolly well wear the same color so it looks like a matching set.
Look 3: White T-shirt. Wearing a white t-shirt with a slip dress can be quite magical. it gives you a casual yet retro effortless style. worn over the slip dress or as a layered piece, a white tee is surely a magic trick for that sporty type feel . Add a pair of white sneakers to this look and some bomb shades and you are so good to go. *Bonus trick: A pair of dad sandals , is also a very good style idea when wearing a tee with a slip dress.
Look 4: Drape with a kimono You definitely want to turn that simple slip dress into the best night out / dinner date head turning outfit. The key is to play with the style of kimono. it could be sequined , beaded , printed, lacy, long, mid- length, whatever your preference may be, just drape it on that dress, add some nice sparkly accessories and nice pair of heels and let your hair down.
Look 5: Level-up with a blazer.
This may be an unexpected style idea but trust me when i say a blazer immediately takes you three notches up. Pairing a blazer with a slip dress tells the story of a powerful, sexy, confident woman, who knows what she wants. This look commands attention and power. it will get the contracts signed faster, lol The key is to opt for an over size blazer, don’t have one, simply head on to your man’s closet, or your brother or dad’s, your options will be endless. * wink
Most importantly, make sure to always stay true to your style preference but its fun to be adventurous. keep it simple but have tons of fun while dressing up. style should be enjoyed.
