5 Simple Tips for Dressing Down your Fancy Dress

I love wearing dresses and I especially love wearing them in the summer.  You know that extra breeze that comes up your dress, is heaven sent. Yes, if you have lived in Houston, SC, Florida….. you know exactly what I am talking about.

Since I love wearing dresses I have to find ways to dress them down when they don’t scream summer. Is your closet filled with nice dresses that you bought for that one banquet or that one fancy dinner?

I bought a fancy (not formal) dress on the sale rack over Christmas. And I hoped that I could use it for some fun outing but once I had it on I realized the fabric was too fancy for anything that I would attend. So I dressed it down with a jean jacket and boots and on another occasion with a cardigan and boots.

Here are some tips on  how to dress down your fancy dresses so that you can use them all year long.

1. Pair up the dress with sandals and a jean jacket or cardigan.

Loose Strap Dress

2. Belt it!

Boots

3. Scarf! A simple not too fancy scarf is a another great accessory to utilize to help hide the bling  bling around the neckline on your dress.

4.  Boot it!  If you are not into cowboy boots just use another type of plain boots.

5. If the occasion is not fancy but also not too casual (you know that in between I don’t know what to wear event) then use accessories to dress it up and your shoes to dress it down as shown above.
