I’ve long been a fan of Anine Bing‘s luxe, elevated basics, so when the brand reached out to ask me to style a few fall pieces, I was beyond excited. This slip dress is everything I want in a piece: it’s sleek, yet effortless, with a slightly unexpected twist. I actually had a different plan of styling this dress with newer items, but between hanging out with my BFF Tienlyn on Saturday and hitting up the Alameda Antiques Faire on Sunday, life happened and I ended up going with things I already had in my closet at the last minute. But now that I think about it, that’s actually exactly why Anine Bing’s pieces work so well — everything is designed to be mixed and matched with your existing wardrobe, making getting dress completely effortless.

Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks!
