STYLING THE PERFECT BLACK SLIP WITH 5 DIFFERENT LOOKS @JHALTITUDE

Brianna Moteberg, owner and the pretty face behind one our favorite boutiques in Jackson Hole, is passionate about showing you the “capsule wardrobe.” Essentially, getting more bang for your buck with purchasing the one perfect basic item.  We had a cup of coffee and a nice long chat with her and this is what we learned...  

I will never have a capsule wardrobe.  That is usually defined by a total of 33 items in your closet. As in 33 items that includes, shoes, clothing, and accessories. Yup…hard to even imagine at least for me!  While that isn’t even a dream for me, I do wholeheartedly work to have a capsule suitcase when traveling (let’s hope that will begin soon-and safely!).  I like to refer to it as a capsule suitcase because while I don’t always travel in a carry on, I like to.  I want to be able to wear something many ways and to mix and match every single item in my suitcase. Showing my clients how to get more bang for their buck is always a win in my book.

Here, I have taken what I feel is the number one item each closet should have, the slip dress, and styled in 5 ways. Mind you, the slip dress I picked is black, but you could do this with any color or pattern.  This slip dress and other items I have worn here could easily fit into a carry-on for a week long trip.

LOOK ONE - Cocktail Party/Dressy Event (below)

I realize the term “dressy” is different here in Jackson Hole than elsewhere but I would feel 100% confident wearing this look to an event pretty much anywhere in the world. I’ve taken the slip dress, added heels (not safe for our boardwalk!) and what I refer to as a cocktail jacket, aka a fancy blazer and a clutch. 

LOOK TWO - Date night (below)

Again, date nights with my husband include camping but rest assured, if I was wearing this on camping date night he wouldn’t blink. Always live by the motto “You do You.”  I took an oldie but favorite wrap top in a bold color and added some chunky heels to help with comfort…in case we hit the dance floor instead of the s’mores!

LOOK THREE - Business Attire (below)

If you are going to add a black slip dress to your closet, or maybe you already have one, I would keep in mind the neckline. Some might be more comfortable with a higher one, a v neck or a mid level one..again, “You do You.” This slip dress works for my work environment really easily. I can add a blazer, again black here but a color or pattern is a winner too, and viola, it works for my work.

 LOOK FOUR - Brunch (below)

When layers are your friend! Here I’m wearing a crop white tight shirt underneath (not one I’d ever on its own but I layer this under jumpers, rompers, tanks, dresses, etc…again, the more ways you can wear it the better!) and paired it with an easy denim jacket that I can wear, tie around my waist if need be (hello pancakes!) or lay it down on the ground to sit on if a picnic is on the agenda.

LOOK FIVE - Travel (below)

I know I know…people always think its “odd” I travel in a dress but I LOVE to. I tried it once and I don’t think I’ll go back. Ladies, trust me. Try it. The tiny airplane bathrooms are so much easier to deal with 😊 As always when traveling I’m 100% wearing comfy shoes that require me to wear socks because no one wants to show up at security with no socks on. I’ve added a casual sweatshirt, reppin’ Jackson Hole wherever I go, and a big bag, ALWAYS, did I say always... a big bag.
