Outfit Details:

Chicwish Dress, Michael Kors Coat (similar here), Chanel Flats (similar here), Bobbi Brown “Pink Beige” Lipgloss, Chanel Bag, BaubleBar Pearl Studs

Any party dress that can be transitioned to daytime appropriate is my kind of dress. I often do this with dressier pieces (see here and here) to put them to good use. My trick? Wear flats and add a jacket or coat in denim or leather, to make the dress appear more casual. You’ll want to go back in your closet and create all sorts of new looks with pieces you would usually save for events or special occasions!

This navy and white embroidered Chicwish dress is a steal at under $65! I love the dainty scalloped detailing and delicate layers. Some of my favorite budget friendly dresses have been from Chicwish, including this one and this one (and this one that I don’t have but still love!)

You can see previous ways I’ve styled this Michael Kors cream coat here, here and here. It’s a piece from a few seasons back, but I found a similar one from Ann Taylor for under $200 here.

Thankfully we keep having these warm, sunny days in SF that allow for bare legs and short sleeves, so I haven’t had to pull out my stockings or thick layers yet. I’m craving some cooler weather though, so we might be heading to somewhere with colder temps for my birthday next week!

Thank you to Chicwish for sponsoring this post.
