Versatile Dress

I am going to travel, and I have room for just one basic outfit (maybe a few pairs of shoes.) I would like this outfit to work back home, too. And, I want it to work for all occasions, from casual to dressy. Too much to ask for?

What you need here is a sleeveless dress in a matte jersey or crepe, with a jacket over, if needed. Some accessory changes will
help create the look for all situations.

Basic Dress

I like the sleeveless, because if you need to go to an evening event, you can wrap a lightweight glittery shawl around, add some open toed heels, glittery jewelry, an updo, and you are BT.

If the occasion is more casual, this dress will support a cotton jacket and espadrilles.

For work, the dress/jacket looks good with pumps or wedges; and, a cardi or other knit sweater (even a turtle) will make this into a sweater/skirt ensemble. Boots work, too.

The basic element is a fluid matte fabric Dress in a solid color, with a straight neckline. If this isn't your most flattering look, the dress is out there with sleeves, with a more defined waist and skirt; with more or with less fabric, a wider skirt, or a narrow one. Yes it is.

And, the monochrome column, with a folded narrow scarf worn straight down the front, and the jacket over, will subtract pounds, too.
