Hello lovelies! Today's Chic for Cheap challenge was a fun but tricky request sent in my reader Corrie. She is a busy mom and grad student and needs some help with some ideas on how to accessorize a simple dress that she loves to wear. I'm always feeling a bit muddled myself when it comes to picking the right accessories, so I hope that I've done alright with my looks. Here's how Corrie describes her fashion dilemma:
"I am a mom to 2 boys and a graduate student. My days are normally spent getting food rubbed all over my clothes and sitting down to study for a big exam as soon as two little guys go to sleep. Here is my problem: I have no clue how to accessorize. I am super boring. I wear the same necklace and earrings every single day, and I am clueless about which tights and which shoes go with which clothes. I am sorry to say that I am 30 years old and wear flip flops far too often. I love a dress like this. It is knit, can be washed easily, but I feel like it looks a bit better on me than just shorts or jeans. (also it is super cheap) Would you consider giving ideas on how to accessorize a simple, everyday dress in different ways?"
I decided to focus on 3 looks with the accessories I picked out: Date night, Head of the Class + Going to the Park + Shopping. Of course the best part is that all the pieces can be mixed and matched further for even more outfits. xox Ez
