Leather-trim Dress, Dressed Down

I found this dress when I was out shopping with my mom when she came to visit after Christmas. I fell in love with it instantly, but I wasn’t quite sure how I would wear it. The black leather trim makes it difficult to pair with other neutrals besides black, and the thick fabric makes it a challenge to layer. Last time, I kept it simple with black tights and pink heels.

This time, I wanted to give it a more casual vibe, so I added my (resurrected) denim jacket, a belt, and ankle boots. I still feel polished and professional, but a little more relaxed.

How do you make a dress feel more casual?
