Business and casual? Quite
the contrary isn’t it but, it is the best way to look effortless, stay
comfortable and yet meet the ‘formal’ dress code .
Being professional
isn’t just by wearing corporate attires. You can wear a maxi dress and continue
to look polished, conservative and good looking all together. It keeps you
covered but still feels so light and airy. As I am uncomfortable with wearing
pant suits so a maxi dress is a savior .
You can dress it up
with an outerwear to give you a more formal and professional look.
1. Cover your arms and shoulders with
a fitted shape: I tend to like wearing shrugs with maxi dresses on the
weekend, but that can also look casual. For the office I would try it with
a shrunken blazer or perhaps a fitted blouse. You want to add structure .
2. Color blocking in key : Always opt a one-color maxi dress and pair it
with a three-quarter or long-sleeved blazer. For example, your maxi dress is
black, you can pair your blazer in pastels or any bright color.
If you wear maxi
dresses with prints and other motifs, black or white blazers are better choices.
3 . Dress it up with accessories. A skinny patent belt, a delicate necklace, or
a high quality statement necklace — all of these things can go a long way.
Other than that I am loving dainty rings , they add a very feminine touch to
the assemble .
This dress is buttoned all the
way in the center, a very unique take to maxi dresses. The deep navy blue gives
a very royal look to it. For adding the formal touch I paired it with a pastel
creamish pink blazer ( you all know I am obsessed with this color ) . Accessorizing with dainty rings and slip
ons .
