How to Wear a Top Over a Dress

Playing off the all-white outfit theme like my last outfit post featuring a casual white dress and white converse sneakers, this all white outfit is a bit dressier and has a very lady-like look to it. I had a simple white dress that I wanted to spruce up, so I layered a textured peplum top over it. This is an easy way to change up the look of a dress you already have in your closet, you just need to make sure that the fits of the pieces you are layering complement each other; that you're not layering an extremely fitted top over a very loose dress, but you can however layer a loose top over a very fitted dress. As you can see in the photos, the peplum top has a similar neckline as the dress, I wouldn't layer an off the shoulder or wide neckline over the crew neck of the dress. I kept the outfit fresh and spring/summer ready with a pair of nude heels.
