Re-Styling a "Memorable" Dress

Sometimes when a dress really makes a statement (like my yellow lace Lucille dress from J.Crew), you tend not to want to wear it as often because it's so "memorable." 

I think they key is to have fun with the piece, everytime adding one or two different elements. This time, I switched out the fabric belt the dress came with to this hot pink belt that I got at the J.Crew outlet last summer. I also later added the navy blue cardigan. It's about making little tweaks that make the piece feel fresh.


Dress- Presley Skye at Nordstrom

Bright As the Sun

Hello, yellow.  As I mentioned in my post where I got to rent a dress from Houston's New for the Night, yellow is a color that has always been out of my comfort zone.

But when I saw that J.Crew's Lucille dress also came in a sunny yellow lace, I couldn't resist (I got it on sale, too!)

 
 

Dress- J.Crew (buy it here)
Belt- J.Crew (
similar)
Shoes- Nine West (buy them here)
Sunglasses- Chanel
Earrings- Kendra Scott "Elle" (buy them here)
Bracelet- J.Crew (buy it here---probably one of my best jewelry investments yet!)


I attended an event last night at Houston's Urban Retreat Spa and I think the sparkly belt, chunky gold pave chain bracelet and lace on the dress made it transition seamlessly from day to night.
