Upon encountering this plaid dress, I was immediately drawn to it because I loved the colors of the fabric its, yet I sensed it lacked the edgy essence I often gravitate towards. However, this pivot from my typical style didn’t deter me; rather, it served as an opportunity to employ a creative approach to an item I was drawn to.Understanding that this dress had a lot of potential to work with my personal style, the only thing I could do was to infuse the dress with an edgy allure. Enter in the power of accessories, I styled this outfit with black tights and booties to give this look an unexpected vibe.
By strategically incorporating edgy accessories into the outfit, this dress didn’t seem as boring as it looked on the rack. A statement belt cinched at the waist, adorned with metallic accents, immediately injected a bold dimension. Layering with a yellow moto jacket, further brought more life to the outfit’s transformation, infusing it with the desired edge.
The accessories spoke to my style while honoring the initial allure of the plaid dress. Serves as a reminder we can style the items in our closet well as long as you know what your style is and how to bring it to life. Having the pieces you love can be worn with their original identity through thoughtful styling choices.
