Recreate Olivia Palermo’s Midi Dress Look

Loving Olivia Palermo’s look from the Parisian Couture Fall showing of Giambattista Valli? Well you’re in luck, the main piece is within reach to us common folk in it’s full glory (not some close call replication). Her gorgeous yellow frock is straight off the rack from British favorite Top Shop!

Now while the ever popular fashion goddess chose to accessorize her dress with a red layered necklace and trifecta of gold lace up pumps, clutch and bracelet, you don’t have to stay within her boundaries.

You can use the draped yellow ankle-length dress as a jumping off point for your own accessorizing. Look at the dress as a blank slate, and try your own color pairing. Now I do love her combination of orangey-red with this shade of yellow, it compliments the dress while giving that little pop that all good accessories should do. If you can’t find a red necklace, try the color out on your nails like she did, or add a little fiery lipstick to brighten up your makeup. You could also vary the midi dress by replacing her black skinny belt with one in a bright color, like blue. This would add a little visual interest without taking over the entire look, and let’s face it a belt is essential for a dress like this.
