One Dress – Three Ways

One thing I have learned over the past few years is how important it is to build your wardrobe with high-quality essential basics. 
If you invest in good pieces that you can recreate in various ways, and will last you through the years, it will be well worth your money.
My black Madstyle dress is the perfect staple addition to my closet.  The dress comes from Stop Staring! a dress website with a local showroom in Paramount, CA that features various cocktail dresses and vintage-inspired dresses.
 Without further ado, here are three ways I styled my perfect LBD.

Formal: 

Black Dress: Stop Staring // Heels: Cathy Jean (similar) // Earrings: Forever21 (similar) // Watch: Michael Kors

Office:
Vest: J Crew (similar) // Shoes: Forever21 (similar) and (similar) // Glasses : (similar)

Date Night:

Black Dress as top: Stop Staring // Skirt: (Similar) // Belt: ASOS // Booties: Express (Similar)
What’s your favorite investment piece?
xoxo,

    Love this! I love finding new ways to wear an item in my closet. The skirt over the dress is so great! I'm going to have to try that one.

    Cuuuute ! I love the date night outfit. My favourite investment piece is just a great pair of jeans because I have trouble finding good jeans and I wear them with so much!
