I mean you could go on and on -

 

I like this dress because it’s classic with a twist.  For those of you who are bored by a gabardine navy sheath try basing your wardrobe capsule around a blue leopard dress like this. 

Let’s analyze what’s classic and basic about it -

• the shape - simple but flexible
• the fabric - all season and machine washable
• the colors – teal and black
• the print - animal never really goes out of style, (though it could be argued blue leopard does…)

What makes it fiesty?

• the detailing - ruching – it’s totally feminine
• the body hugging fit – ay yi yi
• the print – it’s a modern twist

Practice spotting these type dresses yourself and then use your imagination to play off both sides making some outfits for different occasions in your life – work and play – and see what you come up with.
