OUTFIT: That’s a Wrap
A few weeks ago we talked about wardrobe staples. The Little Black Dress was our topic of conversation. Have you found yours yet?
Today I bring to your another wardrobe staple: The Wrap Dress. I am a dress girl through and through, and here’s why: they are so easy! You slip a dress over your head, and you are instantly more put together. People always ask me how I can photograph in a dress. My response: it is so easy, I can move around in it, squat, bend. Dresses are moveable and with ease knock up your dressiness a few notches.
In fact, last Saturday I was shooting a wedding in Dallas, TX., and I wore this dress the entire day shooting; it was fabulous!
A few things to note on wrap dresses:
- Length: notice mine is just about knee level. That’s a good rule of thumb. Any shorter, and it turns into a night out with the girls and not work appropriate.
- The Wrap: Make sure when you try on your wrap that you do a few twirls in it. Make sure that wrap is going to stay closed. To be safe with mine I safety pin the wrap midway down just in case a gust of wind comes through.
- Quality vs. Quantity: This wrap dress was definitely an investment piece, but our wardrobe staples should be. I found it at the Kate Spade outlet on sale thankfully!
