wrap dress – Sydne Style

I’ve been preparing for an upcoming trip to South Beach , so it’s only fitting that today’s guest blogger is originally from Miami! Frances Molina of It’s Sew My Style shows how to wear a printed wrap dress six different ways. I love them all but this cold weather is making me want to mimic the turtleneck layering in #6. Read what Francis has to say, and then vote on your faves!

When Sydne offered me the chance to guest post for her blog, I was super excited. I knew right away that I wanted to feature this One Clothing dress that I had recently purchased at Macy’s. The wrap style of the skirt means that it’s universally flattering and the high neckline works for all bust sizes. After purchasing, I thought of dozens of outfits that I could make work with this dress. These are my favorites.

1. I put together this look with the office in mind, but it can certainly be worn to a brunch or luncheon as well.

2. This dress transcends the seasons. When the temperature starts to drop pair this dress with a boyfriend blazer and tights to stay warm.
Express Blazer, Target Tights, Restricted Boots

3. By pairing just a belt and some killer heels with this dress, it’s an open canvas. Wear it to go out to dinner or for drinks. I’m a minimalist when it comes to accessories, so a nice red lip and a messy up-do side bun would work wonders with this dress.

4. Going to a cocktail party? A happy hour maybe? Throw on a dangly necklace, a fitted blazer, some sky high heels, and you’re ready to go.

5. Keep the dress simple for running errands on the weekend. The print is enough for a day-time weekend look.

6. Once it’s time for a coat, this look will keep the dress looking fresh, while keeping your warm.

Last week, I styled a $3 skirt from Kmart to get six different looks. This week I’m using the other piece I kept from that photo shoot: a faux wrap dress. This particular one isn’t available on Kmart online but the wrap dress is a classic so I’m guessing most of you already own one. (On a side note, I loved Seventeen editor-in-chief Ann Shoket’s pink leopard wrap dress on America’s Next Top Model last night. So cute!). But back to mixing high and low with the Kmart dress at hand….

1. Here’s the dress plain and simple. Nothing added except accessories.
Flying Lizard Design necklace, bracelets I found in a London flea market, Steve Madden sandals

2. By layering underneath you can show off your dress and still keep warm. Just make sure your shirt or sweater has a snug fit.

3. Now every time I belt a cardigan over anything I think Michelle Obama.
Forever 21 cardigan, Ann Taylor belt, necklace I found in a London flea market, Tahari sandals

4. I felt inspired by the midi-skirts from Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall 2008 collection (probably since I was wearing shoes from that season).
Theory cardigan, Urban Outfitters necklace, Chinese Laundry knee-socks, Dolce & Gabbana oxfords

5. This English professor look sort-of reminds of a tamer version of Dolce & Gabbana’s fall ads.
Monteau jacket, Sigerson Morrison boots

6. Instead of a blazer, try belting a sweater over a dress for an office chic summer outfit.
Forever 21 sweater, Target belt, Tiffany bracelets, silver bangle from Mexico, Prada pumps

My favorite look is number 3. In fact, I think I’ll wear it to work next week when the weather start to warm up.
