Usually, dressing them up with a stylish tank, or sandals, or big jewelry is enough to keep me from feeling too casual, or too uniform (printed tee shirt and converse), but lately I haven't been feeling inspired at all. Any help for me? By the way, great post :) I never know what to do with my dress to make it fresh I’m in high school, and wearing jeans is the most comfortable and practical thing for me to do.

Robin - I know! I was looking to buy it too....maybe they'll restock in the future? Mimi - Depending on the fabric, a LBD may be too formal to wear during the day. If it has beading/sequins/etc, leave it in the closet for nighttime. LBDs in more casual fabrics are fair game though. To make a LBD more casual, start with your shoes. If you're wearing casual shoes, the entire outfit automatically takes on a more casual feel. Try a playful looking flat--or breezy espadrilles. Then add on your primary accessories, things like a statement belt or a patterned scarf. Choose jewelry to complement the casual feel of the outfit, such as an oversized necklace or cuff bracelet.
