Back to Basics

The nice thing about solid colors is that its easy to mix & match and layer with. With dresses in particular, there is a lot of opportunity to do so with bright colored/textured/patterned belts, sweaters/cardigans/blazers - the list can go on and on. My favorite type of look? Simple and feminine. This American Apparel dress works well for all seasons. It comes in a variety of colors, and can be worn by itself on a nice spring day, or be dressed up for the winter. How would I wear it? I have a belt similar to the Jcrew belt below from Madewell that I would pair with this dress, and if it's cold outside? I would pair the dress with black tights, my black riding boots from Jcrew (also below), a cardigan and a peacoat.
