How to dress down anything
Wearing: Shirt – Adidas | Lace Skirt – Bruug | Perspex Cuff – Cooee | Bag – Proenza Schouler (PS11 Mini Classic) | Sneakers – Converse | Watch – Cluse Watches
The minimalist is multi-purposing obsessed, and yours truly lives by the axiom of never buying an outfit to be worn just once, or a piece of clothing that can only serve one purpose. Without exception, this applies to the work uniform, prom gown, wedding dresses, and, it goes without saying, fancy dress costumes. Making the most dressy pieces work for day is all in the styling.
How to dress down anything (I mean anything)? It’s all relative – the dressier the item, the more casual your other pieces should be. Wear your tailored suit jacket with ripped jeans, pull a slouchy sweatshirt over your prom dress, and your most comfortable trainers will dress down any evening gown (add a mini leather backpack for maximum effect). As for me, I’ve paired my decadent lace skirt by Perth label Bruug with an oversized Adidas Trefoil tee and classic Converse sneakers.

Hehe thanks Sophia!!
Love the styling! and totally agree with you, you can always dress down a piece if you style it right, it’s like wearing a sequin dress for day with a chunky sweater on top 🙂

100% agree! And personally I think sequins look so much better dressed down than up.
Gorgeous look dear!
