How to Style a Dress Over a Blouse for Work + Link Up

August 9, 2017

I love a good work look. What I love even more is a work look with personality. This dress is business in the front, party in the back. When I got it from Banana Republic, I won’t lie, I was at a little bit of a loss as to how to style it. The front of the dress seemed more formal to me, and I love the open cross back but it obviously wasn’t fit for work worn alone. When faced with this dilemma, the option is simple: layer! Either add a blazer on top or a blouse underneath. I opted to add my favorite blouses underneath it for a work chic look. You could easily wear it alone for drinks maximizing the versatility. The material is a stretchy point fabric. It’s currently on sale, so snag it now!

You can see how I previously styled this blouse (only $18) for work with pants here. My bag is also a favorite and is also on sale. It’s been on the blog more times than I can even count! I love the structure.

    I thought it was only one dress first! Genius idea to match two pieces that are similar in colors! Xx

    How cleverly styled! You’ve made the dress go from casual to work appropriate formal! I love the fabric textures and how delicate it looks.

    Thanks for the share. 🙂

    This is definitely major personality with the fun layers and textures. Love the monochromatic look and you look incredible!

    Love how you paired the top under the dress! Layering a blouse under a dress is one of my favorite ways to wear a dress like this to work. I love the all white and this blouse is just gorgeous!

    That is a cute dress, the statement top works well with it so you can still show off the fun cross over detail on the back! 🙂

    Thank you for the link up!

    Hope you are having a great start to the week 🙂
