Wearing a Dress as a Top
This Forever 21 dress gave me so much life when I first laid my eyes on it. It's such a simple silhouette but the slits on each side give the dress this overly sexy vibe. Let's be honest, if you have hips or junk in your trunk, this dress will be a bit scandalous to wear on a windy day. The day we shot these photos, I sure wasn't in the mood to flash anyone driving by. It was so windy that day that I just had to wear leggings.
My main tip when it comes to wearing a dress as a top is balance. Wear bottoms that are fitted, for example these leggings I'm sporting or some skinny jeans. If you do decide to wear bottoms that has volume, like boyfriend jeans, definitely show your ankles or wear heels to keep the look feminine.
With this look, I opted for liquid leggings to give the look some texture and wore these booties to keep the look fun and sexy without showing skin.

Whatever you decide to wear with a dress, GO FOR IT! There are "rules" to fashion but the only rule you should follow is to not care about what others think.
I'm no fashion expert. I just wear what works for me.
Have fun & experiment with it!
