Sorry for the delay on this week's Style Me Saturday everyone! The holiday weekend got ahold of me, and I'm just now getting back into the swing of things. Please welcome Courtney again, I love her outfits this week!

Hi all! Welcome back to another Style Me Saturday collaboration with me, Courtney of www.colormecourtney.com!

Today we make 1 dress work 3 ways. The dress is a whimsical twist on the lbd and actually reminds me of one of my favorite Kate Spade dresses, the Jillian dress. We're taking this dress from casual, to corporate, to cocktails!

First up, casual: Give this lbd a casual twist by wearing it over a chambray shirt, this is actually a trick you can do with a lot of dresses to either dress them down or give them sleeves! Click here to get the look.

Corporate: A fashionista still has to pay the bills somehow, but that doesn't mean her fabulous sense a style takes a back seat during her day job! Pairing a blazer over a lbd makes it work appropriate, and classic touches like a two tone bag or nude pumps allow you to pull off a classic office look. Click here to get the look.

Cocktails: Make this look the perfect cocktail dress for happy hour, because after all, it's five o'clock somewhere! This cocktail look is simple, yet chic so you could even make the conversion easily from corporate to cocktails with a few easy switches. Click here to get the look.
