I tried to channel my inner lady for the final look for the Lost in Translation dress, threw on a belt to cinch in the waist, a sleek blazer and those open toed high heels from Zara. The always messy sidebraid  and the aztec print adds an everyday spin to the outfit. To tell you the truth, the last look was the hardest, but I can't wait until the next series!

Two posts in one day? I just couldn't wait to style this Koshka blazer! The thing things I love about this blazer are the light silk, unstructured silhouette, the faded, bleached out floral print and the way that it falls just right on my shoulders (shoutout to Joanne for helping me choose the size!). I paired a pair of Big Star waxed jeans and a light chiffon top with the blazer to make the blazer the statement piece in my outfit. I've already got so many ideas for this blazer for the fall, maybe with this skirt from Koshka? Stay tuned!

The second episode to my Lost in Translation dress needed to be casual, inconspicuously wearable for a normal work day without people in the office noticing and saying "hey, you've worn that before right?". I threw on this Quiksilver short-sleeved sweater and I fooled everyone. If you stop me on the street and ask me what color I like the most, I'd say grey - grey neutralizes everything for me. The shortened version of this outfit post? Throw a grey sweater over your favorite dress, it'll be a really good look. Trust me.

When I saw this dress on Koshka, I knew that it would be an instant hit. I'd attribute its gorgeous printed texture to mirror that of a Mexican blanket turned figure-skater dress. It just hugs me in all the right places without being too constricting. The back dips low just right and the length is short enough to throw on my trusty Trinas and be on my way. I've already worn this dress a few times over the weekend since I've received it and I've gotten a few musings about what else I'd wear with such a statement dress.

So I'm starting a series (appropriately titled 'uno, dos, tres') in which I'll style one piece, this Ladakh Lost in Translation Dress, three different ways.  I'm hoping to give you, my lovely readers, a few ideas on conquering that one unique, statement piece with a fresh eye because let's face it, repeating outfits is a necessary evil that we can work around.
