The black slip dress is a powerful tool for transitioning through the seasons. I admit that I'm not always in the mood to think too hard about what to wear on some days. There are times when adding one more decision to my day (ie. what to wear) is more of a chore than something to get excited about. My fondness for a bold statement dress, one that requires little more than your favorite earrings, runs deep (the Ulyana dress in Orchid never fails to bring me joy). That being said, as fall approaches, I also value an assortment of neutral pieces that allow for effortless mixing and matching. As we transition into the autumn months, here are three of our favorite ways to style a timeless black silk slip dress.

Denim jacket; White button-up; Isla silk slip dress; Sneakers

I love the above look for the changing seasons when layering options are most appreciated. Not to mention this look is incredibly comfortable.

Trench coat; Azalea silk slip dress; Boots; Tote

The Azalea silk slip dress is generally pictured along with heels and a beautiful event to attend or date night, but I also love dressing her down with practical boots and an everyday tote. A trench coat is great for the cooler months.

Blazer; Azalea silk slip dress; Heels; Bag; Red lipstick

No one can deny the versatility of a great blazer in a neutral color. Blazers are my favorite thing to browse vintage and reseller sites for (I have spent an unreasonable amount of time the past few weeks doing exactly this). I love their practicality and added warmth, as well as their ability to complete an outfit.
