In a failed attempt to clean my wardrobe, I realised just how many dresses I own but rarely style. The main reason is that I usually prefer outfits with multiple pieces, while dresses often feel complete on their own and don’t require many accessories. Because of this, I decided to create a new section for my blog — a styling challenge.
For this first edition, I selected nine dresses from my wardrobe that I find particularly difficult to style, and I challenged myself to reinterpret them in a beautiful and artistic way. Along the process, I drew inspiration from different eras and styles, allowing myself to experiment and truly enjoy the creative journey. And this is just the beginning — with more than 600 pages of clothing, there is so much more to explore.
For the first outfit, I’m wearing this beautiful satin dress from Voile, inspired by 18th-century French fashion, though with contemporary touches. Instead of leaning into its historical roots, I styled it with a 90s party vibe, combining mint and white tones from the same palette and finishing with delicate diamond accessories.
For the second outfit, I chose this colourful, shimmering mini dress. This one was particularly challenging, as I’m not usually drawn to mini dresses — especially bold, multicoloured ones. To balance it, I layered an iridescent sheer top underneath and added texture with long leather boots. I initially avoided black, but it ultimately helped ground the look. Pink earrings and dark sunglasses complete the outfit.
For the third outfit, I styled this stunning yet complex dress from Voile, inspired by Zac Posen. Like the first, it echoes 18th-century silhouettes and is considered a rare piece within the game. Although I found it at a great price, I had never worn it due to its difficulty. This time, I embraced a high-fashion approach rather than wearability, adding a draped white skirt underneath to enhance its romantic feel, along with accessories that subtly reference 18th-century elegance.
