Dress: Topshop // Shoes: Banana Republic // Purse: Neiman Marcus (similar) // Scarf: Elements Dallas // Sunnies: Karen Walker

The other day I styled this black slip dress for the daytime with a knit cardigan. Since this dress is so versatile, I am sharing two more ways I like to style it for different occasions. For an evening look, this dress works great with minimal accessories. I paired the cross back slip dress with these simple strappy leather heels from Banana Republic and a tassel bucket bag from Neiman Marcus. I love matching a black dress to my shoes and bag, and then use jewelry to bring a little color to the look. I decided to keep this evening look primarily black by only adding thin gold hoops and a thin gold bangle. The main accent was the beaded scarf I found on sale at Elements in Dallas (on Lovers Lane). I do not have a link to the exact scarf, but Mignonne Gavin makes some similar ones as well as Anthropologie. The beaded scarf is a great alternative to a chunky necklace, and easy to style with layers for fall. Stay tuned to see how I style this dress for a night out! xoxo
