Mother Earth is a funny lady. She gave us a hint of cool fall weather and now it's back to hot summer days! So I decided that this very summery dress should get a last hurrah. At first I wasn't sure how to style this dress. I removed the green cotton sash that came with the dress. I added my navy ruffle cardigan and yellow Anthropologie Stormy Seas necklace.
But I didn't really love it. Something was off. I felt that this dress needed a belt. So I added one of my favorites, a vintage turtle belt, but the red clashed with the yellow necklace. So I decided to go with a red beaded necklace. A little too matchy-matchy for me, but the dress is so colorful I decided it was okay.
Not sure what this photo is. You can see how crazy my hair gets.
So the first photo of this post is the finished product. I am pleased with it. The bright green part of this dress makes me smile. I am going to go enjoy this beautiful day out. Need to run some errands first, but will probably end up downtown somewhere reading a book outside. =)
At first glance this dress is just seen as a fun summer piece but with those accessories and cardigan I can now see how to wear it in the cooler months. I really enjoyed this post. I often want to post about my outfit transformations but never seem to have the time to do it.
ReplyDeleteI love that dress. The hint of red at the waist is wonderful, and I love the red beaded necklace you paired with it. Ive been experiencing the same weather change - its frustrating, lol.
