Come Summer, your schedule is jam-packed with activities, and that means a lot of outfit changes. We partnered with Macy's to show you how to style one dress five ways.
Your phone's iCal is brimming with gray dots, and you're inevitably tempted to pick up different separates for each occasion, but you don't need to — just find one main item that transitions easily. By accessorizing and planning smartly, you can build five varied looks using just one staple piece. So whether you've RSVP'd to a warm-weather wedding or are just running around town, we found an ultraversatile sleeveless dress from Jessica Simpson that will take you from day to night in a breeze.
1 Saturday Brunch
When you're meeting friends for an alfresco brunch, throw on the dress, but keep everything else casual: a denim vest in a light wash, a fringed bag, and strappy sandals will do the trick.
Jessica Simpson Cortland Denim Vest ($26)
Patricia Nash Boho Fringe Carrara Drawstring ($199)
American Rag Carlin Wedge Sandals ($60)
2 Running Around Town
You're up early for your usual Sunday-morning errand running. Rather than tossing on sweatpants, pick up that coral dress and accessorize with low-key pieces, like a canvas backpack and of-the-moment Adidas sneakers.
Sakroots Artist Circle Small Flap Backpack ($59)
Adidas Men's Stan Smith Vulc Nubuck Casual Sneakers ($70)
3 Out on the Town
Headed out somewhere glam and want to punch up your ensemble? Ditch the fringed bag and sandals, opt for a gold statement necklace (it matches the zipper details in the dress), and then slip on sky-high stilettos with perforated details.
BCBGeneration Gold-Tone Drama Stone and Fringe Frontal Necklace ($48)
Steve Madden by Iggy Azalea Brixxton Mesh Dress Sandals ($129)
4 Weekend Wedding Guest
Everyone loves attending Summer weddings — especially guests who already know what they're wearing. Stacked wedges will elongate your legs while keeping you comfortable, and a rose-gold clutch will add a sparkly touch.
Guess Women's Oppal Platform Wedge Sandals ($110)
La Regale All Over Stone Clutch ($75)
5 At the Office
After your weekend of festivities wraps, head to the office bright and early on Monday sporting a structured black blazer, casual ankle boots, and dangling earrings.
Kenneth Cole New York Small Crystal Circle Crawler Earring ($28)
XOXO Karol Ankle Booties ($50)
