1 Dress- 5 Ways

The weather is getting warmer and it is time to break out that cute dress that’s been hanging in your closet all cold, winter long. Kate is inspiring us with ways to switch up your look based on the weather, where you’re going and how snazzy you’re feeling. Same dress, same kicks and five ways to wear it.

Starting out with the basics- one cute, springy dress (she found hers at T.J. Maxx) and a great pair of sneakers. Then she topped it with a rocker tee and knotted it in the front. She did the same with a tank for the next option. If your tee or your tank are not long enough to knot in the front, just use a hair tie on the front side, front middle or back. Finally, she updated the look with a jean jacket and then took it up a notch for a more sophisticated look with a light blazer. I think the one I'll be copying this weekend is the rocker tee. So cute!

Here are some links to similar options that Kate picked out to recreate any of these looks.

• A similar dress- Kate is also loving the striped option.

• The Classic Rocker Tee or a Rocker Tank if you're feeling frisky

• Your new Versatile Summer Tank

• Two super cute denim jacket options: The Oversized Boyfriend Distressed or this Cropped Jean Jacket I'm loving.

• I wouldn't have thought about these Low Top Checkered Vans with a dress, but Kate is all about it (and as soon as she wears it, I'll be on board). These are the Platform Vans I'm going for (because I've seen her wear them already.)

• For you fancy gals, here is a Blazer similar to the one Kate is wearing.

Before we go any further, let me take this moment to introduce you to my go-to fashion-guru friend Kate. You will absolutely be seeing her featured a lot on Babble (because I’m secretly doing all of this just so I can ask her what I need to be wearing every season). Now we will all get a front row seat to her fashion advice! She has that effortless, cool style with realistic ideas that we can all incorporate. I mean this cute momma has three kiddos, the youngest being just 5 months. I know you want to hate her, but if you knew her, you never could.
