I thought today we’d take a look at one dress, styled three different ways – a work appropriate version, a fun errand-running version, and a night-on-the-town version. What dress are we using, you ask? This gorgeous one:

ASOS Dress with Embellished V Bow Back (green) – $91.48

 

Ya, it’s stunning, huh?!

 

First up, the work ensemble:

J. Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Academy Stripe – $198

ASOS Dress with Embellished V Bow Back (green) – $91.48

Anthropologie Felt Almond Heels – $138

J. Crew Ice Cube Ring (black) – $38

 

Wearing this, you’ll be sure to stick out of the ho-hum boring work outfits you’re probably surrounded with! All of the pieces have a conservative look, but the way they’re paired together really spices them up!

 

Next up….the fun errand-running look!

 

ASOS Dress with Embellished V Bow Back (green) – $91.48

ASOS River Island Patent Buckle Loafers - $54.89

ASOS Fiorelli Floris Color Block Lady Bag – $126.24

 

While maintaining polish, a little bit of funkiness is brought in with the addition of the loafers. A retro feel is definitely given off, but in a modern, city-fabulous way.

 

And finally, the night-on-the-town look:

 

ASOS Dress with Embellished V Bow Back (green) – $91.48

Anthropologie Reeve Ribbon Pumps – $168

ASOS Long Spot Clutch – $36.59

ASOS Carved Wooden Ring with Metal Top - $2.74 (what a steal!)

 

The thing that really makes this look work is its balance of new and old, modern and traditional. The style of the dress is classic, but the color pumps it up. The shoes play up on its refined feel. The fun clutch and sleek ring, on the other hand, further enhance the modern feel. The complete look is a winner!

 

And, just for fun, one more bonus night-on-the-town look (using the same shoes as the previous look)!

 

 

ASOS Dress with Embellished V Bow Back (green) – $91.48

Anthropologie Reeve Ribbon Pumps – $168

ASOS Flat Zip Contrast Clutch - $36.59

ASOS French Connection Link Stretch Bracelet – $45.74

 

I love the rich colors in this outfit – the deep green of the clutch and the dark navy blue of the heels – mixed with the more vibrant green dress. All of this makes for a more classic look, but it definitely still feels modern and fresh.

 

Which look is your favorite? Would you wear this dress?
