What to Wear: When You Don't Know the Dress Code

Hey y'all! So we all have those days when you are going somewhere, but you aren't sure how dressy you should dress or what your friends are wearing. Of course you can always ask your friends, but if you are in a rush I have some ideas.

If you know the event will be on the casual side:

I'd start with jeans, and this winter I am LOVING jeggings. I have a pair from Gap that I practically live in. I would also wear a basic top like this one from Delia's. It would be better to choose a darker or more neutral color. A bright fucsia or green could make the outfit look a tad dressier. Because it's cold where I live, I have to add a sweater. I like this one from Forever 21. It's neutral and really cute. I would pair it with some classic UGGs in pretty much any color (but I think grey or black would look really cute with this outfit). To accessorize, I suggest casual jewelry like any of these sets of bracelets from Delia's. I especially love the one called tan (shown in picture) to add a pop of color. 

Whenever you aren't sure of the dress code, always go dressier than you think you should. It's harder to figure out what to wear when its cold outside, so many decisions! When the weather is warmer it's easier because you pretty much always wear shorts then add a vneck if casual or a cute tank if dressier. For shoes either wear flip flops if casual or flats if dressier. I can't wait till summer and we can make easier decisions!
