These days I am all about utility when it comes to my clothing. I want things that not only look great but, are functional with a bit of creativity. This week I had to go from a more formal dinner party to meeting Allen for a date night in the city and I didn’t want to lug around a separate outfit. I found this unique fringed silk mini dress by Haney, which is essentially two pieces in one. You can wear the dress as is, but also remove the fringe silk mini style underneath and wear the silk overlay as a tunic top.
For the dinner party look I went for a more classic approach by wearing the fringed dress as is, and of course paired it with my DVF gingham sandals that I’ve been donning every time I get a chance. As for my date look I removed the fringe slip and added these high rise destroyed jeans and went for my lace up Marants. I love the whole dresses over pants look I’ve been seeing on the runways lately and I think this outfit this is a pretty good translation of the runway looks that you guys can do as well. The jeans give me the coverage that I want, while the high slit give me the sexiness that I want to exude. As for my handbag I decided to pull out my trusty Chanel Boy Bag.
Dressing up for different occasions doesn’t have to be daunting especially when you can buy 2 outfits for 1. So which look do you guys prefer, sophisticated or downtown cool? Let me know below!
Fringe Dress: Haney
Jeans: Hudson
Bracelets: Brandy Pham
Necklace: Jennie Kwon Choker & Sincerely So
Bag: Chanel
Gingham Sandals: DVF
Lace Up Sandals: Isabel Marant

Chriselle, I’ve been following you since years ago and I’ve loved witnessing your gradual evolving style, from accessorizing a ton to your now super elegant yet simple style. You look amazing!
I have a question about your postpartum girdle/corset, if you don’t mind. Did you get the actual “corset” style with the adjustable front closure or was it the girdle pull-up (no closures)? Did you ever wear it without clasping the crotch strap? That part looks quite uncomfortable to me. Lastly, how long did you commit to wearing it for? I’ve been doing research on postpartum wraps for days now 🙁 and I’m still very confused, so hopefully you can find some time to reply (here or via email is fine with me). Thank you so much in advance and kisses to sweet Chloe!
i freaking love this style <3

Some years ago you made a youtube video about different ways to wear a dress, and it’s some tips that I still use to this day today (specially a dress tucked in the jeans/trousers – you’re a genius!)!
You’re a real fashion inspiration Chriselle and keep up doing this! You inspire more people than you think! <3
Much love all the way from Copenhagen / A&I

That means so much that you remember that video, I will definitely keep it up for all you guys! xoxo
I absolutely love this dress! Both of the options are lovely! I would probably take the fringe off for the second look too and I agree with you on the dress/pants look.

Both ways to wear this dress are amazing, but I’d “vote” for the 2nd one as it’s more versatile and it works well daytime and nighttime!
