Sorority Formal Outfit #1

Products: Maxi Slit Dress – Nasty Gal, Heels – Aldo, Bracelet – Shopbop, Clutch – Macy’s, Necklace – Shopbop

If you’re the person that all your friends turn to for fashion advice, then this outfit is ideal for you!

This dress is a beautiful maxi dress with a long slit to make a dramatic entrance and to show off your legs! It also features that trendy snakeskin print that we’ve seen everywhere this season.

Since the dress is bold, go sleek and minimal with your jewelry for a modern look. I love this simple bracelet and layered necklace combo.

As for shoes, peep-toe stiletto heels are perfect to go with this maxi dress. The colors go great together and everything you wear in this outfit goes perfectly together but also makes a statement on its own.

To bring this outfit together, a little clutch is all you need.
