Comfortable. Easy. Versatile. Not typically the adjectives used describe something more dressy, but those are the exact words I would use for this piece that Ministry of Retail sent over recently. The dress not only makes for seriously easy dressing but also lets the accessories shine, since it’s essentially a blank canvas with just a slight bit of drama in the slit.
How would you accessorize this dress?



Wearing: Ministry of Retail dress (c/0), Zara scarf and shoes, vintage belt, DKNY bag

  3. Simple but so beautiful!

  4. It’s such a classic dress with a twist. Love the way you have oomphed it up with animal print.

    I would accesorize it with my wide mint and pearls belt, and, silver high-heeled peep toes. It would be the perfect black dress for a summer night!

  5. I love this dress. You styled it beautifully with the neutrals and leopards. A belt is definitely a must to give it some shape around the waist. I think fun electric blue accents would be cool too.

  10. Love the look. I would have accessorized with peachy pink colors [light colors] to give it more of a summer vibe and probably used wedges. I’m still a fan of this look!

  20. Easy chic indeed, what a pretty dress! Love seeing you in a basic piece like this. I would probably also add a belt in the waist and a pretty statement necklace in a jewel tone.

    Have a great weekend! xo Leonie

  22. To dress it down a little, I would wear it with a thin, neon belt and maybe some wedges. I love how you’re wearing it though!
