High-Low Dresses

High-low tops and dresses have been very in style over the past year, and I have been eyeing up all of these gorgeous dresses from my favorite online shops for the past few months and wondering if I will ever add one to my closet or not.  See my favorite Emerald green dress at the moment, that is perfect for Fall and can be worn with a leather jacket HERE!  Besides drooling over dresses online that I want, I actually discovered I have a high-low dress in my closet already that I have completely forgot about!!!  I am beyond excited because I have had this dress since 2004 and actually forgot about it, and can now wear it like it is brand new!  See my simple style tips below for ways to wear the high-low dress!




Dress:  Wetseal  /  Shoes:  Via Spiga  /   Bag:  Coach  /  Bracelet:  Express  /  Ring:  The Icing



QUICK TIPS ON WEARING HIGH/LOW DRESSES!

1.  For shorter length high-low (starts above the knee in front), you can really wear that dress through the Fall with a leather jacket and platforms and tights if you like.  For longer length dresses like mine, it is best to leave it as is and wear it in the Summer like I will.  Mine is also slightly borderline dressy.  I wore this to a formal party one year and it looked nice because it has a ruffle on the bottom layer of dress hem.

2.  I find that shoes with ankle straps tend to look best with these dresses, so pull out your platforms with a nice ankle strap and you will look perfect!  



Thanks so much for stopping by and for reading!  I hope that you have a wonderful day!!!
