Happy Thursday, friends! Only one more day ’til the weekend!! Y’all probably remember this cotton stunner dress from the recent post I did a few days ago when I shared how to dress up a simple, cotton dress. I actually wore the same dress today for some errands and wanted to share a great way to wear these tighter/bodycon dresses in more of a casual style. Anything I can wear dressy to casual is a must have in my book as it just screams affordable and proves that I can get my money’s worth out of the piece.
One thing I look for when buying pieces is versatility and this dress hit the nail on the head. I don’t want to sound like a broken record since I rave about it in my previous post HERE, but solid color dresses like this are such a great piece to buy. And I’m not the only one that thought this dress was amazing! It’s almost sold out. Probably because it’s only $28!
One way I love to dress down pieces like this is to wear it with fun sneakers. I always love a great pair of Converse to wear with dresses. It always makes your look that much sportier and cool! If your dress is solid, like this one, I would highly suggest throwing on a jacket or wearing a button down tied around your waist. I seriously never thought I would be suggesting people to wear button downs tied around their waists because it is such a 90s thing BUT its chic and will cover up that food baby too! I feel like I grew up wearing clothing like this and of course, it’s back! Keep things even more casual and simple with a cross body bag you can just throw on and go. This beautiful bag is made of the softest leather and is on sale for $67 but there are only a few left, so hurry!!

I could not agree more! Solid dresses are the best, easy to style with whatever trend is hot at the moment! I have a black bodycon dress that I love to wear with an oversized denim jacket or a bomber jacket these days.

Now THIS is my favorite way to wear a bodycon – comfy and casual. Tying a plaid flannel around my waist is definitely my go-to, since it accentuates the waist and it’s also great to have handy in case the surroundings somehow become chilly haha!
Hell yes! Can we talk about how fabulous this bag is??
Love how you styled this- and that bag is so cute!! Thanks for sharing!!
OMG obsessed with this look. Looks like something I would rock everyday!
It’s such a good idea to tie a cardigan around your waist! I often get a little self-conscious about my belly showing when I wear really tight dresses. Thank you!
love this casual and cute style on you!!!! that plaid top is SOOOO perfect for fall
I’m loving cute and casual for the summer!! Especially since its been so hot in CA lately!
