Favourite Fashion: Alexander McQueen, Fall 2008 RTW

I'm excited to be continuing my Building A Wardrobe Series again today. One the first day of the series I shared Essential Blazers and Jackets, one day two I shared Essential Cardigans, on day three I shared Essential Skirts, on day four I shared Essential Jeans and Dress Pants, on day five I shared Essential Shoes and Accessories, and on day six I shared Essential Shirts. Today I'm going to continue my Building A Wardrobe series by sharing essential dresses with you. I love dresses and I definitely think it's important to invest in some great versatile pieces. Here are my thoughts on essential dresses to include in your wardrobe: I recommend purchasing a great black and navy sheath dress. These classic pieces will be well worth the investment and because of their classic nature can be worn for years to come. I also recommend getting a sold dress with great texture, such as the coral lace dress below. Texture will make this dress special, but due to the solid color, it will still be a versatile piece in your closet. Lastly I recommend getting a striped dress. I'm showing a cute fit and flare option, but get a shape that fits your style, such as a sheath, jersey, or a-line. A great black and white stripe dress will be very versatile and mixable in your wardrobe. I also picked some additional options for you, such as a plaid t-shirt dress, leopard, great print, and bold stipes. I love all these options and they definitely will add value to your closet, however, I wouldn't start hear, as these pieces could be great outfit "show stoppers" but they probably won't be nearly as versatile. I'd shop the sale rack for these types of pieces after you have a few more essential in your closet. black sheath dress / lace dress / navy sheath dress / stripe dress / plaid shirt dress /leopard dress / print dress / bold stripes / I'm also going to discuss essential belts today. A reader asked for my thoughts and I realized I hadn't planned to share any, whoops! I think the number of belts you can have is endless but here are my thoughts on essential belts: I think skinny belts are most popular right now, but I recommend have a wider black and brown one, as these still look great when you want to belt a dress I also recommend having a metallic one, I have a brown metallic and I wear it all the time! Look at the bright colors you wear most, consider buying a bright belt in that color or in a complementary color. I also recommend getting a leopard belt, well, because it's leopard : ) Lastly, I recommend having a skinny black and brown belt, these are the ones you'll probably wear most often. Shop the clearance racks, especially at Kohl's. I've gotten most of my belts there for between $1-$2 bucks. Belts can be key to defining a waist and I highly recommend wearing them with most outfits, you'd be surprised how much they can add to your final look! Here's a visual for my thoughts on essential belts: wide black / wide brown / leopard / fun color / skinny black / skinny brown / metallic Today I'm wearing a great floral print dress and I've belted it to help define my shape. I can dress it up with a cardigan or blazer with heels or dress it down like I did today with a denim jacket and booties. I'm working to start the spring transition in my closet. That means no more tights, if I have anything to say about it. I bought this dress last fall from Target for like $6 and it's one of my favorite pieces to wear. Today I thought it would be fun to style it casually with my denim jacket from thredUP (use this thredUP link to get $10 off your first order) and my black booties. I'm thinking I'll be wearing booties for a few more weeks, then sayonara until next fall. I'm also wearing this adorable neckalce from Chelsea Row. I got it at a fashion swap brand new! I love a good statement necklace, but am really loving more delicate pieces like this lately.
