While some girls swear by a good LBD, Jess’ go-to frock is a Little Red Dress. She’s worn several LRDs so far in the series and always mixes them up with different shoes and accessories to keep her look fresh and fun.
For the first look, I decided to dress up this clean-up and scalloped LRD. Some glitter-encrusted flats add just the right amount of sparkle, while these bow earrings are both elegant and fun. Voilà, a simple LRD looks playful and dinner ready.
Outfit #2: Mix and Match

- Flats – Old Navy
- Necklace – Amazon
Jess definitely knows how to wear prints like a pro, but I especially love the way she mixes two pieces with the same type of pattern. For example, in the photo above, Jess is wearing two different polka-dotted pieces to create an eccentric, yet stylish outfit.
To create a similar look, I chose to mix two striped pieces. While both pieces look different, the similar stripe spacing keeps the look chic and not over-the-top. Also, the vertical stripes on the skirt help to balance out the horizontal stripes on the shirt. The subdued yellow ballet flats tones down the vibrant skirt. For a finishing touch, add a delicate piece of jewelry, like this horseshoe necklace.
Outfit #3: Contrasting Colored Shoes

- Earrings – Claire’s
Jess is always pairing her outfits with deliberately mismatched shoes. The colorful shoes don’t necessarily “match” her outfit in the traditional sense, as shown in the photo above. The key to this look is to pair the outfit with shoes in a contrasting shade (i.e. not a color that’s complementary or analogous), which will create a fun and eye-catching look.
To get this look, pair a blue patterned dress with a royal blue cardigan. The two blue pieces complement each other and create a monochromatic look. Add some pretty green flats for a contrasting shade (and get in more pattern mixing), then accessorize with some whimsical fox earrings.
