2 style tips if a dress you have feels like it might be a little too much. And again, some days, you know, you're like rocking it and you're like, oh my gosh, yes, I can be floral and mixed print and bright and whatever. And other days you're like, I'm not feeling it so much. Okay, so if you're feeling like it's too much, you can always take a solid darker sweater And when you throw it either over your shoulder, see how it just like grounds things and it like takes the print and calms it down a little bit? So that's one. And then another, which I've been seeing a lot lately and I'm kind of liking, especially when it's a thinner sweater and a silky dress, is to create some waist definition with a sweater becomes your belt and tie it asymmetrically. Some people do it with jeans. For jeans, for me, it's too bulky, but with this, I think it's like kind of cute, and it takes something that's a little wider and has it feel a little more like snatched. I love the dress on its own, but if it feels like too much, or even if it's a solid dress, you can sort of like color block it that way. I think it's like kind of cool. You can tie it. Sometimes I just tie it once, but if I feel like it's going to slip, I tie it twice. Yeah, what do you guys think?
