Dressing up made easy
This probably sounds like the stupidest question you’ve ever heard, but how do you dress up without wearing a dress? Every time I wear a dress I feel stupid and uncomfortable but I know there are times when I should make more of an effort than wearing my usual clothes which is just jeans and a top.
Dressing up is as much about feeling comfortable as it is about the clothes you wear. So if wearing a dress makes you feel uncomfortable, don’t! You can still fall back on what you feel best in when effort is required, you just need to glam it up a bit. Find a pair of jeans that are dressier than your everyday ones, and save them only for special occasions. This alone can make you feel like you’ve tried – because you’re not wearing a pair that you wear everyday. Team them with a trendy smock top or a pretty blouse and finish the look with heels and some cute accessories.
It doesn’t have to be a dress
Unfortunately there are some occasions, like weddings or school balls, where getting away with jeans isn’t so easy. But, that doesn’t mean you have to sport a girly dress. Try wearing a high waist skirt with a cute camisole and a smart blazer instead. It’s an ensemble that flatters any figure and a great option when you need to look put together and chic, but don’t want to feel like you’ve over done it.
If all else fails, smileAnd if you ever get it wrong, and you feel underdressed, just smile your biggest smile and hold your head high. No one will remember the girl who wore jeans to ‘insert important celebration here’, they will remember the beautiful, confident girl with the dazzling smile.
Here’s a few ideas for inspiration:
1. Boyfriend blazer from Lippy $99.90
2. Dark denim jeans from Dotti $70.00
3. Floral top from Lippy $59.90
4. Highwaist skirt from Topshop.co.uk $80.00
5. Siren heels from Wildpair $129.90
