One Dress, Two Ways

Sometimes all it takes is a little creativity. I bought a dress at Marshalls earlier this week for $16.99. It was one of those impulsive purchases where my argument for buying it was because it "looked cute" and I was certain I'd find an occasion to wear it. I had such a blast exploring the different ways this dress could be worn!

Look #1: Casual Bohemian Chic

The gladiator style studded sandals and druzzy necklace on a long gold chain adds an unexpected flare to this casual look.

Look #2: Black & Silver

Styling it with platform heels and a belt would be perfect for after-work cocktails or a dinner date.

Tell me, which look is your favorite?

Although I love both styles I think I like the casual style a little more!!

Katie said...

Those shoes, those shoes!! I also made an impulse buy recently. My wallet was stolen so I'm currently credit card-less for at least a few more days...BUT I can still use paypal/bill me later to make purchases online, so I totally just got a new pair of shoes :)

Courtney said...

Both of these are great. This is such a good, creative idea for a post. By day you can be a cute little boho summer girl, and by night, with the same dress, you can be ready to go out on the town. I can't pick a fave but I'll definitely say I LOVE the shoes in the second look. HOT MAMA ! :)

holy toned legs Kinsey!! I love both looks but I think the dressed up look suits you more :) miss you girly!

Christy said...

Great buy! I love the first look!

MarchMusings said...

That is a versatile dress. It looks so good in both looks.

Both are darling but I think that the shoes in the second outfit standout YET complete the outfit! Cute dress! I never find things at discount stores. I wish i could...I have NO patience.

kelly ann said...

I like both! That dress eases wonderfully from day (the 1st outfit) to night (2nd)

Tenny said...

Miss Caitlin S. said...

Toooo good Kinsey!!! I love it!! You nailed i on both counts. I will have to say since I'm a heel gal through and through, that it's the second look but I do love what you did with the first one! :) 17 bucks is a bargain for that.
