How I Style a Slip Dress

IMG_4929

Happy weekend, friends! The slip dress is one of the most iconic pieces to make an appearance since the 90’s. And leave it to Splendid to create this sophisticated, yet easy-going dress. Layer this dress under your favorite cardigan or over a blouse for an office appropriate look, or keep it casual for the weekend. The options are endless! 

This Tank Midi slip dress was actually really comfortable. These shoes are not the best if you’re on your feet all day, but they are perfect for date night or a girls night out. If you’re looking for a shoe with more comfort and wearability, I recommend this lace-up block heel. The lower heel makes this a better option for the office or a more casual event.

I have to say, I had my doubts at first, but I’m glad I gave this trend a try. This dress is easily a staple and might be one of my most versatile pieces hanging in my closet. You can pair it with a long cardigan or denim jacket in the spring or fall, or wear solo during the summer. Sounds like a pretty good piece to have in your collection right?

Thanks for stopping by! xx Ashley

    When you wear clothing with thin straps like this slip dress, what do you do under-garment wise? I’ve always wanted to pull off shirts and dresses like that, but I don’t know what to wear underneath! Do you wear a strapless bra, or pasty things, or something bigger but still stick on like a Nubra? Especially if I’m working, I don’t want to be afraid of something happening!
