STYLE BY MELI

I wore this outfit last night for a special event that required semi-formal attire. I will be posting the makeup behind this look in my next blog. Enjoy!  

About This Outfit:

[The Outfit]:  I am wearing a teal dress from Macy’s.  I honestly don’t know the brand but I did pick this up from the junior’s section.  I purchased this a couple years ago and have only worn it one other time.  I love the deep teal color!

I’m wearing gold accessories from varying places.  The necklace is from NY&Co (who would have thought?).  I never shop there but randomly had been shopping there for a friend and came across this chain necklace.  I’m also wearing a cocktail ring from Macy’s and bracelets from Forever 21.

The black peep toe heels are Gucci.  I have definitely worn these in previous outfit posts.  They are so versatile that they definitely get a lot of fashion mileage!

[Where to wear this outfit]:  This is definitely an evening look and something I would wear for special events only.  I suppose you can go to a fancy lounge or restaurant in this look as well.

[Stylish Notes]:

-  I think the first time I wore this dress, I styled it with silver accessories.  I wanted to style it differently, so switching up the accessories will definitely change up the look.   I usually tend to wear a dress one time and never wear it again, but if I know I can find other ways to wear it differently the next time, I will hold onto it for another occasion.

Styling Tip:  With solid colored dresses, I think it’s great to really play up your accessories.  As you can see, I’m wearing a necklace, cocktail ring, AND two bracelets that I stacked together.  I believe accessories can truly make or break the final look, so definitely choose wisely and style accordingly!

-  I think jewel tones are always a nice alternative to black and never go out of fashion.  I myself tend to wear a ton of black but wearing color is so much more refreshing!

[Thanks for viewing!  Thoughts?]
