3 ways to wear with Weddington Way: The Holiday Dress Guide

With the holiday season upon us, I am sure your to-do list and social calendar are filling up fast!  What better way to stay on budget and save time than to plan your celebratory outfits by reusing one dress in multiple ways?!  Today I am happy to share with you this Alfred Sung dress from Weddington Way styled for three different holiday occasions.  (You can find tons of other great dresses for any event in their bridesmaid dress collection!) Also, how great is it that this dress has pockets?!  If you want to see more ways to re-style pieces from your closet, check out my one piece 3 ways posts.

Keep your outfit festive but comfortable for a Christmas dinner at home.  Add a little sparkle to your feet and keep your jewelry simple.  And, how great is this plaid scarf?

For a festive celebration with your coworkers, maintain a professional aura with covered arms and legs.  However, sprinkle in the Christmas sparkle and shine in small details like rhinestones hidden in eyewear and a touch of patent leather on your toes.  Throw on a fun necklace for the after work hours and you are set!

A perfect fall outfit

Here you have it- an easy and perfect outfit for fall.  Simple to throw on in a hurry and sophisticated enough to feel collected and confident no matter what your day brings.  I just love the colors autumn brings to nature and our fall wardrobes- the berries and browns here speak to the season and make a great fashion statement.

Spring date night stripes

A few weeks ago, thanks to a woman very close to my heart, the man and I got away for the first time since 3PbabyB arrived for a little date night.  The weather was warm, the dinner spot was hoppin,' and I was so happy to throw on a dress and heels for the occasion.  My necklace made it's debut appearance that night and oh-how-I-love the green spikes!

Cobalt jeans

Some more love for blue on the blog today (did you catch my blue crush?)- say hello to my favorite little jeans, these cobalt skinnies.  Glad I wore these last week for some running around when the weather was a little cooler- because it is way to hot to be wearing these now that the temperatures are in the 90's this week!

Baby B maternity style

Yesterday little #3PBabyB turned 2 weeks old and my heart could not be filed to the brim with her any more than it already is! in honor of the typical Wednesday outfit posts, here's a peek at the outfits I wore while my baby bump with this little girl was growing and growing.  You can get all the outfit details here, or shop maternity styles at Old Navy, Target, and ASOS like I did throughout theses months.  If you have your own little baby bump or a friend who is rocking one, I hope these outfits inspire you to feel like a fashionable baby bump lady!

Breaking the rules- navy & black

One of the most exciting things about fashion these days is that there really are not any 'rules' one must follow anymore! White can be worn year round, you can mix any patterns you like, and hemlines are popular at any length.  Since blue is pretty much my all-time favorite color, I pair it with so many different patterns and colors in my closet.  Here I am showcasing two recent outfits where I am 'breaking the rules' by pairing navy with black.  This combo makes for an easy winter outfit, and easily mixes up your basic winter blacks with a little fun color.

Brightening up winter black

I love wearing color each and every day, especially during the days of warm weather.  But when winter is around and blacks, dark blues, and grays are more of a wardrobe staple, the easiest way to inject a bit of cheer into an outfit is with a pop of color.  Here are three ways I have paired my dark winter basics with a shot of color to create a fun, cheery outfit in the cooler weather.
