STYLE GURU STYLE: Denim Daze

May 5th, 2016 at 2:10am

When it comes to spring, flirtatious dresses come out to play. Sometimes it is difficult finding the perfect dress that is comfortable, easy to wear and can be styled in multiple ways.

In the spring 2013 Altuzarras ready-to-wear collection, the use of pockets throughout the show really caught my attention. Finding dresses with pockets in them is rare in itself, let alone having them be stylish and cute. Altuzarra did a great job “making small things that produced a big impact” by making every single pocket look fashionable. This really stuck out to me, and made me go on a hunt for the perfect dress, with perfect pockets. 

This dress was the perfect match. Altzurarra’s inspiration hit the mark, right inside of Forever 21. The color of the denim was just right, really allowing me to style it in many different ways. Since this dress is denim, it tends to hold more of a boxy shape but the amazing lacing adds some dimension to the dress and draws the eye to the best part of the dress: the pockets! Yes, pockets! This little, simple detail really allows you to do a number of activities in this dress.

For this look I wanted the focus to be on the dress, so I kept my accessories basic. I chose this watch to really allowing the colors to play with each other. I also went with my vintage leather coach purse, perfect for exploring on a beautiful spring day. When exploring, a hat is a perfect addition to spice up the look and give it more color. I chose to go with this salmon gingham hat, giving it a sporty vibe while still being girly. To finish off the look I went with a Michael Kors sneaker, really adding a pattern and design aspect to this look. From the detail in the lace to the detail in the sneaker, your eyes feel free to move all around this look.

Get My Look: 1. Denim dress. 2. Patterned sneaker. 3. Athletic hat.
