MichaMi Style Blog

I haven’t done a Versatility post for ages (i.e. where I put together different looks from the same base piece). Today I’ve used the Shift dress as the base (from Last Call’s Ginny outfit), because a shift dress is an excellent basic that any style conscious Av should have in her inventory. It’s the perfect blank canvas for any look — here I offer up 4 variations for your perusal.

#1. I started with the DIVA

It’s a look for some serious partying in the trendiest of nightclubs, she is dripping in diamonds but she still has an edge. The black boa does almost all the work here, I only added sheer tights, black studded pumps and a clutch. I then went with a platinum spiky updo and smoky eyes for that edge.

LOTS more after the jump!

#2. Next we have the LADY

This classy lady is on her way to a gallery opening or dinner at a top restaurant. I swapped the boa for a little mink jacket and the diamonds for classy gold. I also covered up the neckline with a sliver of black lace. The sheer tights stayed on, but I changed the shoes to a more sleek and satiny pump. I also changed the bag to a gorgeus red crocodile piece that picks up on the red lips, the sole of the shoe and the nails. The hair is gathered in an elegant and high asymmetrical updo with sweeping bangs.

#3. Here is CUTIE

This is a more casual and daytime look, suitable pretty much anywhere. Here I’ve covered up the arms and neckline with a white blouse, changed the tights from sheer to opaque and added some cute stripy socks. The sleek pumps where exchanged for more comfortable wedges. The only accessories are a pair of cute dangely earrings, the neck scarf and the little black and white bag. The hair follows on the cute with little curly piggies and a barrette.

#4 Finally, Gritty Girl

This girl definitely has more attitude. Off came the pretty blouse and instead I wore an aviator jacket in a murky brown-red. The opaques stayed on but I changed to sloppier and dirtier socks. The boots are just so great with lots of chains and detail that I then picked up on with studded bracelets, the belt and the collar. Hair is asymmetrical, spiky and messy.
