When someone asks you to name the most versatile piece in your wardrobe, a slip dress probably doesn't come to mind. While you'd obviously wear one in the bedroom to pull off a feminine, boudoir look, or through the Summer months, it's not a typical cold-weather piece. That is, until you employ the styling tricks below. Don't pack away your sheer, lacy midis just yet.
