One way I like to make a dress more casual is by throwing a denim jacket over it. This works for lots of items in my closet that at times I feel are “too dressy” for the occasion. I have a white jacket and a blue denim one, and without them, I would have a huge hole in my wardrobe. If you don’t currently have a denim jacket, I would highly recommend getting one. There are lots of styles available now, so if the traditional boxy western jacket isn’t your thing, there is a good chance you could find something else. As you can see, the jacket in this outfit is more of a motorcycle style. I have found a slightly cropped style works best with pants and dresses or skirts, so look for one that hits at or slightly above the hip.
The jacket is BCBG, the dress is J. Crew, the belt is from Martin + Osa, and the shoes are Naturalizers, swapped from my friend Tanya.
Fabulous belt, belt twin.
Your blog page looks very nice Ana. You also look very nice. I love how you explain your reason for adding a denim jacket to dress down an otherwise too dressy outfit. I will remember that for future times when I need to use advice.
Thanks
