One Dress Many Ways | Look #2

June 4, 2014 by Whitney 18 Comments

I knew when I started this challenge I’d have to style this dress with my favorite Tahari heels/sandals. I mean for real for real, these shoes are SO comfortable and the fact that they add an instant chic and sexiness to any outfit is a major plus! But back to the dress….LOL. I decided to style look #2 as if I were going on a summer date with hubby.

DRESS: ELEMENTZ, MACY’S (SIMILAR) // HEELS: DSW (SAME)

During the summer months hubby and I seem to get out quite a bit. We go to dinner shows at Toby’s, have a romantic dinners on the waterfront in Columbia, or head to DC for a fun night on the town. Any one of those date night options calls for showin’ a little leg and wearing a pair of heels like these. 😉 Of course I carry a lightweight shawl or wrap with me – I’m always the one to get chilly whenever we go out.

    Love this dress and you look great in it. The vibrant colors are so eye-catching and I love how you kept the shoes neutral so the dress would shine.
