If I had a fashion hand book, I know exactly what my number one rule would be: Don’t save your fancy pieces for special occasions only. Maybe it’s just me, but I find nothing worse than having a gorgeous dress left to sit in the back of the closet, waiting for the occasional wedding or holiday party to be worn. However, I also still live in reality, and I know that wearing a formal dress to sit behind a computer or for a coffee run is bound to get you some odd looks. Luckily, a little bit of layering with a great tee can convert a dressier piece seamlessly into an everyday item. In fact, it wasn’t until after several hours of wear that the bf asked, “Is that, like, a fancy dress,” and it was only because he realized the fabric felt, “fancy”.

Sarah, I love this! I get in the same rut with leaving “nicer” dresses for special occasions, but this is a great way to use them for any occasion! :)

Very nice! I like this idea. I think I may have to do this with a strapless soon.

I totally agree! I’m a fan of casual sparkle and wearing my fancy pieces as often as possible.
