Fall is one of my favorite times of year: crisp weather, the change of the leaves and all of the new collections premiering during Fashion Week. What Fashionista doesn’t love to curl up with some coffee and watch the runway shows? Well, the designers’ hard work sure paid off and gave many Style Gurus major outfit inspiration.
Slip dresses have been popping up all over the fashion scene lately, especially in the spring 2017 ready-to-wear line by Marques ’ Almeida. I based this look off of their runway show from London Fashion Week earlier this September. Their collection included dainty, floral slip dresses with an edgy, street-style tone. Many of the outfits also included a load of denim, which also attracted me to this collection. As soon as I saw this line, I envisioned an outfit that would easily translate from the runway to the street.
Much to my surprise, the weather in Pennsylvania has not yet turned completely bitter, so this look can still be comfortably worn during our last few sunny days. To achieve the look I imagined, I layered two slip dresses together, borrowed a fellow Fashionista’s oversized denim jacket and grabbed my favorite pointed-toe pumps. Many of the models Paulo and Marta chose to walk in their show had unnatural hair colors, which went right along with my current hairstyle.
What I love most about this look is how easy it is to take it from day to night, just by a simple change of the jacket. Switching out that denim for a leather one or even a bomber can completely transform this look!
