About Amy Salinger

The greatest thing about wedding season is that it is not only yours that you have to contend with! From friends to family, doesn't it seem like everyone is getting married?! So, on top of putting together your big day, you have to make sure that you look fabulous as the perfect wedding guest too! The fun part of this equation is that most of the other guests are party hopping from wedding to wedding with you so wearing the same dress is just not an option. Alas, your closet simply grows and grows with an overflowing amount of cocktail dresses that seem to only have a home for one day.

Stop the madness!!! It is time to reuse those cocktail dresses that hang so sadly at the back of your closet. They want to come out and play, and I am here to show you how! No more guilt over having to buy yet another cocktail dress. Your regular daytime to evening activities attire is never going to have looked so good!

So, whip out those forgotten wedding cocktail dresses and get ready to style, style and style some more! It is all about owning the right pieces to mix it up. As my Sass N Style episode shows, choosing the right pieces to pair your dress with makes all the difference. Between the right bobbles, fantastic purse, perfect jacket and a fabulous pair of sandals, you are going to take that cocktail right out of the dress! That certainly does not mean I will take the cocktail out of your hand. :grin:

Follow along with my easy and chic tips for making every dress shine for a second or even third time!

Some great advice! Unfortunately, every “day” look involves a jacket. Not great for Michigan’s 85 degree humid summers :(

Great point, Amy - so many events/weddings and how many black cocktail dresses can one have. I have started to work with separates to create a cocktail or formal look. I got a great tiered black skirt from Express that looks ultra formal and can be paired with a multitude of different tops. I have worn it to 2 weddings as well as a night out with the girls. I feel so advanced mix and matching!!!
