Shirt Dress, Leather Shacket & Knee-High Boots

Take your favorite white shirt dress and make it feel new with two simple pieces: a leather shacket and a pair of knee-high boots. For the former, try one that ties at the waist for a figure-hugging look, and top it off with your favorite top-handle bag.

Black V-Neck Dress, Second-Skin Top & Sandals

For those who lean on little black dresses all year-’round, liven yours up with a second-skin top — like La Double J’s floral turtleneck. Finish with a pair of sporty sandals, for a cool, errand-ready look.

Ribbed Knit Dress, Blazer & Heeled Sandals

Every modern woman should have a blazer in her lineup, for more reasons than one — including the occasion of reassigning spring dresses for late winter wear. Style a ribbed knit dress with your favorite blazer and polish it off with a pair of lace-up sandals.

White Tiered Dress, Cape Coat & Pumps

A favorite peak summer dress tends to be the all-white, tiered silhouette — which is more versatile than you think. Simply style with a cape coat to expand upon the play with shape. From there, pairing it with dainty pumps will add a feminine note.

Slip Dress & Printed Turtleneck

Looking to stretch your favorite nightie a bit further into your wardrobe? Look no further than a slim-cut knit turtleneck, which will add a pop to the subdued silhouette.
