One of my staple pieces for this fall season, is the midi dress.  It’s the perfect combination of length, function and versatility.  Here I’ve styled my dress three ways to carry this one piece from easy basic, to sporty casual, to polished business savvy.  With a few accessory changes and layering this one dress takes on three easy, yet distinct vibes.

What I love about just throwing on this dress is the simplicity of it.  It’s a great backdrop for creating different looks, but it looks so effortless on it’s own.  Here I paired it with cutout booties and understated accessories.

Using the dress as a foundation layer, I used a cropped sweatshirt for more a more sporty feel.  It’s gives the illusion of a midi skirt, giving you more than just a dress.  With an oversized slouchy bag, the look stays casual.

The sign of a truly versatile dress, is being able to dress it up and pair it down.  By popping on a blazer vest, a great structured bag and a belt, the dress transforms from casual to sophisticated.  Instead of a basic belt, here I opted for this amazing Oxford Collar Harness, by
