I am all about versatility in my wardrobe! But you already knew that! I love it when a piece can be worn many different ways and with many different things. We thought this “oatmeal dress” from Journeyfive was one of these perfect pieces!
Let us show you our 4 looks first! Then why this dress is a smart buy!
1) ACCESSORIZE – This solid colored dress can be punched up with ANY patterned scarf to change the look! Plus think of all the ways there are to wear, wrap and tie scarves!
2) LAYER UP – Cropped jackets, blazers or a cardigan create a whole new look. Take it business professional, take it casual or take it young and fun! And the oatmeal color of the dress is SUCH a great NEUTRAL that we have been able to pair ANY color or pattern with it!
3) COVER UP – If the cut of the dress is simple enough it’s so easy to layer a button up top or a sweater over it. That creates a skirt and top look when in fact it is a DRESS! Gotta love that!
4) FORGET THE POP OF COLOR – We’ve already talked about the many ways to add color and pattern but don’t forget about wearing TONE on TONE. This is one of my FAVORITE ways to wear any color! Layer the same color in a slightly lighter or darker tone. You can layer jewelry, accessories, jackets, vest, sweater, etc.
We went for a similar color high boot and a long netural vest. The vest played great with the proportions and added a rich texture. For this oatmeal color dress gold accessories were perfect!
Fun right? And looks you can pull off too!
Besides the ease of mixing up the colors and patterns worn with it this dress is also versatile in SEASONS too! It’s a perfect and casual way to keep cool in the summer. Layer up with one of the looks above if Spring is a little chilly in your area. Fall and Winter? Not and problem. How cute would this dress be layered with colored tights or patterned leggings? And we can’t forget BOOTS!!! Boots are a perfect way to transition this dress from Summer into Fall. A little pop of faux fur or even some sparkle in the Winter and you’ve got a new look as well!
