Charter Club embellished linen tunic: passed down from mom (Macy's)
Style & Co. petite dress: Macy's
6-strand red lucite necklace: eBay
I've always thought this dress would look cute with a red necklace. Due to its size, this necklace is out of my comfort zone, but I like how it looks peeping out of a black shirt.
I feel like this outfit is my first step out of a style rut. I felt good wearing it and I got to play with texture and prints! :)
It doesn't really show up in the photos, but the big flower print on the skirt has splashes of a very light gray/tan. That gives me some ideas on how to wear it the next time around.
Something else that, thankfully, doesn't show up in the photos: a fresh bruise the size of a half-dollar on my right shin. Just a souvenir from early morning aikido practice, and another merit badge for the Klutz Scouts. What, you mean you aren't a member??
Great look :) loving the print on the skirt! It's bold but I like it :)

I think this is a great way to subtly mix prints and textures. Really loving the bold red pop from your necklace!
ReplyDeleteNice dress ...i like the big floral prints! You are right it does look great with a red necklace. It's wonderful to be able to share clothes with your mom. She must be fabulous and trendy too!
