Thank you to Lord + Taylor and ShopStyle for sponsoring this post.

Versatility is key when packing for an upcoming trip, but also when going from season to season. Starting with a key basic like this ribbed midi tank dress is the perfect canvas for so many outfitting options. This dress also transitions perfectly from hot summer days to cool fall nights. With a few accessories and layering options, I transformed this dress into three unique looks.

Outfit 1

I’ve been eyeing up white denim jackets for some time now and finally bit the bullet. The raw edge details on this cropped jacket give it that extra edge. Paired with neutral accessories for a clean minimal look.

Finally, I figured out how to perfect the belt bag that works as a bag and belt. This slouchy sweater gets new life subtly tucked into the belt bag. Versatility at its finest.

Outfit 3

A kimono is my go-to layer over a slim dress. It is the perfect layer for a cool night out. And yes, the belt can be removed from the bag to change into a mini clutch.
