This Autumn, patterned frocks and bold accessories are all the rage. This stylish number is a great example and is being worn by all the people in all the right ways. The great thing about this dress is, not only does it come in various forms of patterning and colours, but you can wear it in various ways to create different looks.

Dotti Smock Dress: $69.95
Ms Boho:
This laid-back look is typical of stars such as Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen twins, when they’re not clubbing it up. To achieve this look, wear the smock dress with a pair of suede knee-high boots and a chunky vintage bag or wear with a woven skull cap or beanie with chunky wooden accessories. Also, a nice chunky leather belt would be a great touch but, just remember that if you are wearing large accessories, such as big bags and high boots, you shouldn’t wear all of them at once. Keep it simple. It's all about looking more natural and using natural tones, so don’t go and throw in some bling or fluro pink thongs, it would look ridiculous.
Ms Suave:
This look can easily be created by wearing a pair of pumps (peep-toe or round-toe) in colours that are present in the pattern. Nicole Ritchie pulls this one off really well and keeps it simple. Team it up with a pinned back hairstyle and a slim headband and your set to strut your stuff.
Ms Glam:
Looking glamorous and girly in a tightly patterned dress can become a disaster if not put together carefully. You can go from glam to bag lady with just a bad choice in shoes or O.T.T (over the top) jewelry. So, here’s the low-down on that glam look I know you all want. First off, team the Smock dress with a metallic pair of heels. Simple rule - silver heels with blues and greens, gold or bronze heels with browns and oranges. The idea is to keep the heel simple and elegant. The dress has all the detailing a girl needs so restrain from diamantes and sequins. Then follow the same guidelines in selecting a clutch purse. You will be the envy of the party in this one.
Ms Sexy:
To get hearts beating, wear this dress off the shoulder with a tie up waist belt. Leave your hair out natural or with a few loose curls - guys won’t be able to resist. To look extra lusty, wear some smokey eye makeup and gloss up those pouters. Team this outfit with some stilettos in boot or shoe form, and a small shoulder or clutch bag.
