Style Me Saturday: Easter Dress Re-Do

Reader Nikki wrote me because she bought this polka dot dress last year and only wore it once on Easter Sunday, and you can see how she styled it below. She'd like to get some more wear out of the dress (possibly again on Easter), but doesn't want to do a repeat of last year's outfit. Nikki also wondered if there was any way to dress it down a little and make the dress more casual.


Here are two suggestions I sent Nikki - you can click on any image for more info (with the exception of the dress - click here for an alternative option) unless otherwise noted.

For this first (dressier) look, I traded out the red belt for a black version and added a spring colored cardigan (also comes in red).

For this second, more casual option - I again paired the dress with a cardigan (but it would also be cute alone, maybe with some colorful wedges or flats) and a black belt. I gave Nikki the option of wedges or flats, and kept the earrings simple. Click HERE for the coral colored cardigan (perfect for spring!!) - it also comes in a ton of other colors.
