Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had a wonderful week and enjoy your upcoming weekend! 🙂

In my last haul video, I mentioned that I thought the black James Perse dress would make for an awesome canvas for accessories.

As a follow up, I want to share with you a few ways I enjoy styling it in the hope that you are inspired by some of the basics you likely have in your closet today!

First of all – this dress is AMAZING! It looks so simple, but it’s beautifully flattering with the ribbed fabric and just the right amount of stretch.

The first look is my casual take with trendy accessories for shopping or a weekend out.

This denim jacket has the perfect amount of distressing, and that soft “broken in” feeling making it a great affordable piece that I have had on repeat recently!

Apparently, I also found it to be an appropriate outfit for casually climbing around in a tree haha 😉

Add in a pair of cute sneakers and a statement bag and you are good to go!

The next look is perfect as the weather starts to cool down a bit to really showcase this colorblock car coat and booties.

This particular coat is sold out, but the look would work with any statement coat or oversized sweater.

Here are a few other options:

This look adds in a menswear inspired tweed blazer with military detailing and these moss green boots I have really been enjoying.

Tweed always makes me feel like fall is in full swing!

I wore this to a lunch meeting with my favorite work bag for a perfectly polished and comfortable look!

Last but not least, I added in leather accessories for this date ready look. Or work… or anywhere really! 🙂

The asymmetrical zipper and drape collar on this jacket are so fun!

Paired with laser cut shoes and a studded clutch adds visual interest to this black and tan look.

Thanks so much for reading and I hope you were inspired by some of the looks here!

I’d love to know – What is your favorite black dress and how do you wear it?

Have a wonderful day & I’ll talk to you again soon!

XO, Dorea
