I make a huge effort to
ensure my outfits make me feel and look my best. But my busy schedule—a.k.a
hitting the snooze on my alarm five times—has me rushing to put together an
outfit, which means I usually skimp out on accessorizing. This is where dresses
come in handy for me; with the perfect dress, you can make a statement without
having to add too many accessories. But of course, you have to have the right
dress.
A dress is my go-to for
many occasions, but there is a great contrast between what I look for in a day
dress, and what I want to wear for a girl’s night out.
“On-the-move” day dress
Whether I’m chasing
after the bus, transferring trains, or making a quick Starbucks run, my ideal
day dress has to be breathable and allow me to feel
comfortable all day long—even if I’m in a mad rush. But I also love a dress
that can easily double as office attire with the addition of a blazer. Sweatshirt dresses can also be the star of a great, fall look.
The perfect fit for a night out
You’ll hardly ever catch
me in anything other than a show-stopping, fitted dress
when I go out with my girlfriends. I
feel most confident in a dress that hugs my curves and highlights my figure in all the right ways.
For a formal evening,
dinner date, or event, I prefer something more whimsical and romantic like this
wrap dress. But don’t get me wrong, I still like to be the
life of the party, which is why I’ll always try to find a way to incorporate
some shimmer.
