Dressing polished is a form of good manners. Especially if you’re going to a special occasion. It’s paying respect to the host, to other attendees and to yourself. Dressing well even adds confidence.

Needless to say it’s important for women to look polished for a special occasion. Today I’m styling this Adrianna Papell lace shift dress, available on Zappos and sharing with you my styling tips on how to dress polished this season.

Lace details and small touches

I always find myself drawn into dresses which have the magic to make people look twice. And it’s usually the texture and the small touches that have that head-turning power. Lace automatically makes you look feminine and put-together. It adds interest to the outfit. The floral details, the key hole in the back, the fluttered cap sleeves complete the final look. If I find myself admiring details on a dress, that’s the dress I want to wear!

Seasonal accessories

Dressing polished also means dressing seasonally appropriate. Spring is the season of tassels, of pink and lilac hues, of florals. So why not incorporate these details to keep your look current and in season. Lilac is also the color of the year, so that’s not a bad reason to add this gorgeous shade into your look.

Play up your feminine side

I’m a huge fan of feminine and girly style (if it’s not obvious by now). So almost every outfit I put together has a touch of feminine details. Whether it’s styling my hair with a braid, wearing heels with florals on them, or carrying an iridescent pink bag, I’ll be sure to finish up my look with the girly details. If anything, wearing a smile is the perfect never out of style finish touch too!
