Three Ways: Knot-Wrap Navy Sheath

Dress Knot Wrap Dress ($77)

Business Attire H&M White Blazer ($55) // Lucky Perforated Belt ($39) // Drop Studs ($48) // Edelman Nora Pumps ($47)

This is a simple summer look with a navy dress and a white blazer.  I like the knotted detail at the waist; it’s very slimming.  To accentuate the waist, I added a perforated belt.  I would actually turn the belt around so the buckle was in the back.  I think it makes for a cleaner, more feminine look.

These pumps offer a bit more office appeal than your standard “nude-to-you” pump.  For a simpler pair, these Sam Edelman Hazel pumps are a good choice.  As for the earrings, I chose a cross between a pretty drop earring and a simple stud.  These simple white topaz drops are another great option.

Cocktail Hour Quincy Star Clutch ($198) // Kim d’Orsay Pump ($299) // Chandelle Noir Earring ($19)

The great thing about this BR dress is that the shape works as a day-to-night option.  Changing it up for cocktails, dinner, or a professional reception is easy.  Just add a clutch, a fun shoe, and a statement earring.

This BCBG star clutch monopolizes my dreams–the wood, the print, the handle.  I keep looking at it and thinking, “I need this.  Why is it the only thing on the website not on sale?”  For something a bit less expensive, this black and white spotted clutch is a chic look.

As for the shoes, I chose something really unique.  The wave design is timeless but still different.  This architectural Vince Camuto heel is also worth a look.  For the earrings, I chose these bold drop earrings.  These Oasis Statement Earrings also caught my eye.

Business Casual Ron Herman Chromatic Sweater ($30) // Audrey Brooke Flat ($50) // Kendra Scott Aiden Necklace ($85)

You can take your sheath dresses farther if you layer on a cropped sweater.  I like this pinstripe Ron Herman sweater because it blends masculine and feminine.  Everlane’s cropped sweaters are also lovely.

To make the look more casual, I chose these d’Orsay grey flats.  I think the pointed toe is a bit more professional.  If you like round-toe shoes, try these perforated flats from Me Too.

Completing the look is this sleek necklace from Kendra Scott.  I love the mix of metals and the soft filigree in the pendant.  For something under-$50, this filigree leaf pendant is lovely.  I also love the slightly exotic look of this turquoise pendant.
