I am wearing: a polka dot sheath dress from Express, a floral skirt from Express, a shrug from BCBGeneration and the ugliest work shoes (which is why they do not appear in the photo!).
I wanted to try something new today. Also, I haven’t worn this dress in forever (well, since graduation)! I like the idea of layering a dress over a puffy skirt, and this is the only dress I could think of, that was short enough to have the skirt show at least a little. I like the vintage look of a skirt with a frilly colored bottom ruffle, which is what the layering makes it look like. This layering business is hot, which is emphasized by the already hot weather, so it is a little uncomfortable. And I wouldn’t have thrown on a shrug but for dress code purposes: the dress top is the color and ruffles, there are no sleeves.
I went very light on the accessories (meaning only a hairpin flower) because of how condensed the outfit already seems. I would love to find a T-shirt type dress, very slouchy to do this type of layering with.
