3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

 

Hello Pretty ladies, 

I hope your week has been going well. Life seems to go by faster and faster as we age, wouldn’t you agree? We’re already halfway thru April! How does that happen? Today, I share 3 ways to style the Spanx Air essential Dress. 

This easy-to-wear buttery soft dress with pockets is easy to wear and style. With a mock neckline and a tank sleeve style, you’ll wear it all Spring and Summer. You can quickly wear this dress in many different ways, but today I am showing you three ways to style it for work wear, sporty chic, and for travel.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Work Wear 

Spanx dress styled with the Spanx blazer.

The Spanx air essentials crew neck sweatshirt is over the shoulders for a fun detail. I chose the cognac color crew neck sweatshirt because it matched my Cecelia New York sandals and tied in with this vegan leather tote. 

Finish off the look with Gold Accessories. This is a great professional look for work, a Zoom meeting, or a Business lunch. 

This look is also comfortable to wear all day, yet removing the crew neck for a chic dress and blazer look could take you straight to a dinner date.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Shop the Look Below:

 

Sporty Chic

Spanx dress paired with a denim jacket immediately takes it to a more casual look. But take it to sporty chic by adding a fun Ball cap, big silver hoop earrings, White leather sneakers with a bit of silver detail, and a dressed-up belt bag with silver chain detail.

This Sports chic look is great for traveling, sightseeing, sporting events, or grabbing coffee with friends.  

Again easy to wear, Easy to pack, and looks oh so put together.

 Travel Vacation mode

I made the Spanx dress look like a skirt, paired with the Spanx Air essential crew neck sweatshirt, a cute Gigi pip Straw sun hat, an Amazon Find Straw bag, and fun Dolce Vita sandals. The espadrille platform is a fun look. 

On a warmer day, you could easily swap out the crew neck sweatshirt for a button-up or oversized graphic tee. Or wear it with no layers. 

I think a denim shirt tied around the waist would be cute. 

A great alternative to wearing an extra layer is using it as an accessory on a warm day. This gives the layer a look without adding an entire layer. 

Fashion Tip:

Adding texture to an outfit with accessories helps create a well-put-together look without much effort.

Think of different fabric mixes, adding texture to a shoe or a bag. Finally, jewelry finishes off the look.

How Hairstyles help create a look

Another thing to consider is how you style your hair for each look. Choose a hairstyle that will compliment the outfit.

Higher necklines look great with hair pulled back to show off the neckline. A top knot is a cute look with a work/office look. Glasses on the head as a fashion statement pull hair away from the face to show the neckline. Looks business-like as well.

Blessed with another Year💕🍁🌸 Some of the Blessed with another Year💕🍁🌸

Some of the blessing that come with aging are the life lessons you learn along the way. 
My little Birthday wisdom😉🎂🎁🎉

With aging comes more confidence, less people pleasing, more of what you want and knowing time is precious, what’s important and how you want to spend it!

Look at Midlife as a blessing
-You’re alive
-The knowledge you posses
-What you can share with others
-Aging is a blessing, NOT everyone gets to do it ✔️
- It may have its struggles but, so does life.
- Embracing it… doesn’t mean you’ll go down without a fight!

You CAN look good, feel good, and have fun ✔️ just remember to 
Surround yourself with supportive women. 
Build the tribe you’ll all thrive in♥️♥️

Midlife does have challenges, but so does every age…. You’ve got this✔️
It’s all a mindset ♥️♥️♥️

Cheers to another year🥂🍾

🧙The Witch’s House in Beverly Hills, Californ 🧙The Witch’s House in Beverly Hills, California 

🔮The Witch’s House, also known as the “Spadena House”, is an enchanting house in the heart of Beverly Hills that appears to be plucked straight out of a fairytale. The house was built in 1921 for a silent film movie studio, Willat Studios in Culver City, to serve as its offices and dressing rooms. When the studio closed, the Spadena family moved the home to its current location in Beverly Hills, where it has been since 1934.

Thanks to the pointy, lopsided roof, tiny windows and stucco with a distressed paint technique, the storybook home has been described as the quintessential Hansel and Gretel house.

🎥CBS Sunday Morning received an exclusive tour of the home, and you can view the video 
On their website.
516 North Walden Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90210

🔮The Witch’s House is a private residence owned by Beverly Hills realtor, Michael J. Libow. 

🚨Tours are not offered. Please be respectful by viewing the home only from the sidewalk or street.
