Versatility

The weather has been a little unpredictable lately, especially down here in the South.  All these unexpected temp changes can foil the most thoughtful outfit plans.  With this post, I wanted to show a little versatility to help in times like these.  This look centers around a plaid shirt dress I picked up in the fall from H&M.  These dresses can be tricky as the pattern and style could give you pajama realness pretty easily if not executed properly.  This one is aided by a sash at the waist which provides waist definition and adds a detail often not included in the sleepwear equivalent.  My original plan for this look paired the dress with suede over the knee boots.  A nice look, but not optimal for really cold or much warmer weather.  So, for colder times, I layered on my fave wool coat (see how I wore before here).  In addition to its functionality, the coat added polish to the look, making it a little more interesting and a little dressier.  For warmer weather, I lost the boots and the coat and added classic white Converse sneakers.  This instantly created a much more casual and relaxed look.  So no matter the weather or your mood, a cute shirt dress (not necessarily plaid) can be the perfect starting point. Hope this gives you some ideas and thanks for stopping by!
