Let’s face it. This time of year is full of events. Graduations. (And graduation parties.) Bridal showers. Weddings. Baby showers. Awards ceremonies. The list can seem endless.

This outfit would be pretty much perfect for any of them.

Though, of course, if you were wearing it to graduation, you’ll want to skip the cardigan under your gown. You can always toss it on later, especially if you attend a school in the snow belt (like I did) where it’s been known to flurry during graduation.

When I first saw this dress, it immediately reminded me of a Mondrian painting. This would be such a fun outfit to wear to a gallery opening or an evening wedding.

Layering a dress over jeans is the perfect way to style a dress that’s just a little too short for your comfort level. It’s also the perfect way to make a summery dress work in spring. And, it’s a great way to make a dress a little more casual. All around, it’s a great combination. (Especially when paired with my newest casual statement necklace!)

I love a good statement necklace. (And it’s not just because I’m a jewelry designer.) A statement necklace is the easiest way to take an outfit from boring to bold.

Most people tend to think of statement necklaces as a fancy accessories, but I believe you can wear a statement necklace anytime, day or night, with pretty much anything.

These twelve outfits are proof of that.

1/ with a ball skirt // 2/ with a party dress // 3/ with a pencil skirt // 4/ with a work ready sheath dress // 5/ with boyfriend jeans and a basic t-shirt // 6/ with a tunic and leggings

7/ with a shift dress and cardigan // 8/ with a mini dress and heels 9/ with a maxi dress // 10/ with a motorcycle jacket // 11/ with your favorite little black dress // 12/ with a classic white shirt

It doesn’t take much to make a basic black dress look fantastic. Both these outfits pair a black dress with a statement necklace, clutch, and a great pair of shoes for looks that are truly stunning.

Now you just need to decide: short or maxi?

1/ draped dress // 2/ julia necklace // 3/ reflections foldover clutch // 4/ two tone heels

1/ go with the flowy dress // 2/ julia necklace // 3/ saturday morning foldover clutch // 4/ atlanta on my mind flat

I love a good art opening. Good conversations, free booze, and an excuse to dress up. What more could a girl ask for?

I also love a good pencil skirt. This one is seriously great – mixing a floral print with one of this year’s major trends – wearable art. Paired with heels, a statement necklace, and a great cocktail ring, it’s a sure to turn a few heads away from the art on display.

1/ nice bead top // 2/ flowers print pencil skirt // 3/ maya necklace // 4/ wings foldover clutch // 5/ sequence ring // 6/ black patent pumps
