I got a dress which is a printed version of an LBD and I love it and it looks fabulous. I am planning on wearing it to at least three different events--a happy hour/HS reunion and two different weddings (one in NY, the other in Seattle). I got it because I figured it was versatile enough to dress up different ways with various colors and be able to get a lot of use out of it; but as I'm trying to plan out the outfits, I am stuck on how to accessorize them differently so I don't feel like I'm wearing the same dress over again. You are a whiz at creating different looks with accessories and patterns so I thought you would be a great resource for some guidance.
The model actually has features very similar to mine (coloring & body type).
Any suggestions on how to accessorize it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Julia
Julia, what a fantastic dress!! I pulled together three different looks all utilizing a vibrant color as the base. With a print such as this dress has pattern mixing can be difficult, so I left the looks simple, yet bold. Hope you like!

What a perfect LBD!!! I've been on a mad search lately, and your great ideas for accessorizing have only convinced me further that I must invest in one.
I need this dress! Where can I find it?
Jennifer - I believe Julia got the dress at Nordstrom. Good luck!
Thanks Kimberly for the suggestions!! I love all of them--especially the first one with the pink and the flower hair accessory!
I agree it might be difficult to pick an additional pattern with this dress--it does have a lot going on already.
Jennifer-I got the dress at a Calvin Klein outlet store but Nordstrom has it too (which is where I got the photo).
