How to Style: Navy & White Patterned Dress

Hello everyone! As it is Friday and the weekend is just hours away, I wanted to write this post on how to style a dress for any occasion you have planned for the weekend. The dress that I am featuring here is a navy and white patterned one. What I love so much about this style is that it is so versatile and can be made more feminine, modern, edgy, or even sporty with the right accessories. Now, let's begin with those styling tips you all have been waiting for:

1. Toss a lightweight cardigan over your shoulders. Adding a cardigan in a light material for the spring and summer allows you to make the dress more so on the feminine side, while offering a nice cover-up for the chilly springtime breezes around Chicago.

2. Slip on some flats in a pop of color. Flats offer a more wearable option for this dress and they can take you to and from all of your destinations during the day. However...

3....for the nighttime, adding a pair of heels in a metallic shade is sure to turn heads. These kinds of heels add a more modern look to your ensemble and are completely date night ready.

4. Play with jewelry. For example, a statement necklace looks chic with a strapless neckline, such as with the dress pictured here. To create a more casual vibe, toss on a long pendant necklace and bangle set, instead.
