I really like my dress from Target. It was from the Altuzarra for Target collection last year and I've only worn it once. I wanted to try and pair it with something different and a little unexpected. This dress gives me a 1940s vibe and I relate really strong menswear suiting during that period. So, I opted to pair my sultry dress with a few menswear pieces.

I used the soft belt that came with the dress to mimic a necktie. Have you ever tried that? Try it. Take the coordinating soft belt off your dress and wear it as a necktie or let it hang like a scarf. To be even more daring take the soft belt from a coordinating colored dress and do the same.

A leather jacket will add style to any look. When you're getting dressed, give yourself a once over and if you need a little attitude, add a leather jacket.

I paired this sexy dress with a pair of lace tights. If you want to add a little sensuality to your look lace tights are a hot addition!

The little touches I added were a mix of femme and menswear inspired. First I topped off my look with an urban chic fedora, and chunky menswear watch to toughen my look up a bit. My lady-like touch are my newest obsession, peekaboo earrings. I like that they are not like a stud and not very dangly, which is great for a casual or dressy look. The peekaboo earring gives you an earring in the front and one in the back! This is my accessory of the year as I stated on the morning show, My Carolina Today here.
