1 Piece – 3 Ways! (Part 1) – Fun at dress boutique

A great stylist can do many things – create the perfect shopping list, pin-point flattering styles for any body type, and so much more. One of my favorite stylist tasks is creating multiple outfit combinations using one key piece. For our upcoming Boston Fashion Week event, we are collaborating with dress boutique (221 Newbury St. Boston, MA) for a fun shopping evening! In preparation for the event, we sent our talented stylists Marisa and Katie to dress to style a photo shoot of some key pieces for fall. Here is the first key item, and the three looks the stylists created, using dress boutique’s fabulous fall inventory:

The Main Piece: EQUIPMENT – “Brett” Long-Sleeve, Button Front Blouse with One Pocket, 100% silk chiffon (SPOTTED HYDE PRINT, $218, Sizes: XS – L)

Why we Loved It: This is a great example of a classy way to do animal print. Play it up by rocking the sheer look with a flirty black bra, or downplay it by layering under a pullover. The print colors are neutrals that will pair well with many color palettes, and the style is appropriate for ladies of all ages. Great versatile fall piece!

Casual Look:

EQUIPMENT – “Brett” Long-Sleeve, Button Front Blouse with One Pocket, 100% silk chiffon (SPOTTED HYDE PRINT, $218, Sizes: XS – L), 3.1 PHILLIP LIM – Cross V-Back Pullover with Striped Sleeves, body: 75% wool/20% polyester/5% cashmere and trim: 76% alpaca/24% polyester (CHARCOAL, $375, Sizes: XS – L), MIH JEANS – “Breathless” Low Rise Skinny Leg Ankle Jean, 89% cotton/11% elastomultiester (“CROSBY” WASH, $233, Sizes: 24 – 32), VANESSA BRUNO – Large Canvas Tote Bag with Sequin Detail, cotton (“NOIR”/BLACK, approx. 14-in. tall x 21-in. wide x 7.5-in. deep, $204), LULU FROST – “Crystal Stud Earring” with brass setting, goldtone ($96)
