Personal Style | How to Wear a Tunic Dress

July 27, 2015 by Whitney 41 Comments

Let’s get into today’s outfit! This black and white tunic dress was hidden in my closet in a Nordstrom Rack bag, with a few other goodies. After digging through the bag and realizing how amazing the items were, I knew I HAD to wear them ASAP. I mean, who doesn’t love a good tunic dress during the summertime?

Black and White - tunic Dress

Tunic Dress - Nordstrom

Tunic Dress: West Kei, Nordstrom Rack (Sold Out // ANOTHER OPTION)

Nude Heels - Kenneth Cole

For my taste, this outfit is a little on the sexy side because of the length. But it’s still appropriate and hubby gave me the seal of approval so I figured, it was a go! The tunic dress is the perfect outfit for an evening event like a wedding, business cocktail function, a possible blogger event, date night, and the list goes on. While it does reveal my legs more than I’m used to, I feel GREAT in the dress; very confident. I actually love my legs and I’m beginning to enjoy showing them off every now and then – this tunic dress allows me to do just that.

Whatever you wear, be sure to feel confident. #wnjstyle

Bloomingdales - Kenneth Cole Heels

Heels: Kenneth Cole, Bloomingdales (Same) // Crystal Bracelet: Charming Charlie

The heels, an early gift from my grandma, are the perfect heel height which makes them very comfortable. The nude-grey color can be paired with several outfits, so these heels are definitely an item I’ll be rotating. I’m all about investing in versatile pieces like nude color heels, accessories and certain clothing items. Your wardrobe should be fashion forward and stylish, but also versatile and  practical. If you can’t wear an item at least 3 times (or 3 seasons), be really sure that you want  make the investment.

Your wardrobe should be stylish, versatile and practicle. #wnjstyle

    Very cute look! I love tunic’s too, as they are forgiving on those days when I am not feeling light. I think this dress would also be cute styled casually with a pair of gladiator sandals.

    Hey sis, I tried to view the Scope but it had expired. I have finally downloaded the app but haven’t used it yet. I love the tunic dress and you are right about the shoes. Have you down loaded my app on GooglePlay, if not, check it out as there are oftentimes for coupons for Charming Charlie so you can add to your arm candy collection.
