I believe that every woman needs a staple dress in her closet. One that can be taken to and from different places and occasions. It's so important to have a dress that an be dressed up for the everyday things like work...cocktails...etc...and then for the more momentous occasions like an interview...meeting the parents....weddings...etc.

The fun part about these dresses are playing with accessories. Dressing up is all about having fun-- even dressing up for work should be fun. Just because you need to be more business or business casual it doesn't mean you can't break out your favorite pair of leopard print pumps. Accessories really make the outfit, you can dress up a simple casual dress by pairing it up with a blazer and heels. Weddings or dinners all you need is a statement jewelry piece and a pair up pumps.

Last week I decided to break out my more dressy dress what I like to call my "Every Occasion Dress" because it finally was the first time I would be able to wear it without tights and we had a goodbye cocktail party after work that I felt it would be appropriate to wear to. This dress is a lot more dressier then I usually get dressed for work so to play it down I decided to wear it with by red booties and black lace blazer.

I had bought this dress from Aritzia back in October for my boyfriend's sisters wedding rehearsal dinner where I wore the same necklace as above but instead of red booties I paired it up with black pumps and grey tights to keep it looking casual enough for dinner but still appropriate for the Church. I love that this dress if needed can also take me to an interview if paired up with a simple blazer and keep it me by wearing fun shoes.

Do you own an every occasion dress?
