I loved this trick! When in doubt, wear your plain black pinafore as the classic LBD. The key is to accessorizing it well. Since the dress is plain, go glam with your makeup – think smokey eyes and glossy red lips. If you decide to keep your makeup neutral, wear your best stilettos coupled with a statement watch and a statement clutch.

This style really took me back to when I was 7. I loved printed pinafore dresses back then, and I love them now too. Perfect for a casual day out with your girls, printed pinafore dresses speak CHARM and STYLE in bold letters. Pair yours with a few funky bracelets and lace-up boots.

Polka dots? Whoddathought! It might make many girls happy to know they can now wear polka dots in yet another style. Be careful to balance out the colours of your dress and the inner that you pair it with. They shouldn't clash but complement each other. Carry a nice tote or a funky large bag and you're ready for the day.
