Ahhhh…today is one of “those days”. I literally rolled outta bed, grabbed the first thing hanging in my closet and a jacket to match. Since tomorrow is casual Friday, I wanted something dressy (not that I don’t always want something dressy) and I must say I’m very proud of myself for building a wardrobe that is a collage of mix-n-match wearables. Most of my clothes will easily pair together and that was much needed on a day like today!
The thing I love the most about the dress I chose is that it has a wonderful, long belt made out of the same fabric. This allows me to not only wear the dress as a skirt but also use the belt (tied in a cute bow of course) to really pull the outfit together.
Plus, I get tons of compliments on the bow and the outfit really works as one piece versus just a jacket and a dress. It’s such a beautiful dress also…an eBay find that I’ve coveted from the moment I pulled it from it’s box. Now to start thinking about Casual Friday…

Oh…one more thing. I took my pics in front of a cute mural today and didn’t notice until later that the mural appears to be quite shocked by my outfit! Just ignore the big Mark Twain-esque man behind me who looks quite startled! (Although I do have that effect sometimes).
This is a great idea! You have pulled off this style so well the dress actually looks like a skirt! 🙂 Plus, you look beautiful in this outfit! Thanks for sharing 🙂
