Every woman should have a great pullover dress that's full of fun prints but no fuss to wear. Paired with a great pair of shoes, it's an instant outfit. That's what this dress is for me. When I don't want to fuss with multiple pieces, buttons, fasteners, etc. I slip this on and go.

Hope you're having a great week.

So glad it's time to break out the spring/summer dresses, even though I still cover up with a cardigan or jacket. Even though most of this ensemble came from Old Navy, I bought these pieces at different times, with no idea of wearing them together. Love it when something does come together this easily.

I bought this dress last year and wore it for Easter and then a few more times, but I don't think it ever made it to the blog. It's very pretty by itself with heels, and I'm sure you will see it again, but I was inspired by Penny Pincher Fashion to dress it down and add a denim jacket. I opted for my white one instead of the blue one.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Old Navy inspired

 

I pulled inspiration for this outfit from an Old Navy ad but used pieces I already owned. The earrings and necklace are gifts from my sweet husband, received on different occasions.

Worn Nov. 17, 2013

After a very short lived cold front, the temps went back up into the 70's. So... bare legs it is. I've worn this dress before with boots and different necklaces to give it a slightly different look, but this is the first time I've added a cardigan. (And I was just hit with a brainstorm of an idea to add my fur vest and boots...what do you think?)

Any color of cardigan would work with this but I was inspired by this combo.

You can tell by my photos and bare arms and legs that it was not very cold Sunday. I wore this to church. I was glad that I had another warmer day to wear this because I've had this inspiration pinned for over a year. My dress didn't fit too well last year but I can wear it again. I'm also thinking about layering it with boots and tights and a long sleeve blouse just to wear it more. It' s one of those odd items that gets worn once or twice a season and that's it.

This is a really old sheath dress that I've kept in my closet forever. I'm finally able to wear it again, so I wore it to work, to court. So much for being conservative. Perhaps I should have left off the earrings and necklace and went for something a little simpler. At least the shoes didn't blind or offend anyone.

 

On another note, I need another hole in my belt so I can cinch it up at my real waist. It's creating a "roll" that I promise I don't have on my body.

One of those weird days

Worn Nov. 11, 2012

 

It was one of those weird days where you suddenly have a heat wave in the middle of the cold. No wait, a cold day in the middle of the heat wave is what's weird here in the South. Anyway, it was a bit warmer this day, so layers and sleeves were not going to cut it, but I could still wear my boots and pretend it was still the fall/winter season.

 

 Maybe strangers thought I was the weird one, with the patterns going on here.

Let's just go ahead and say these photos are horrible. The lighting is terrible. And the color is off. But you can still get the point.

 

Winter never seems to come here and never stays long so dressing can be difficult. What to do? Take a summer dress (seen here) and add a jacket. Done. When it gets hot in the afternoon, take off the jacket.

Vines

 

Dress- Belk's; Shoes- TJMaxx

Worn July 22, 2012

The pattern in this dress reminds me of vines. You can't see too well in these pictures, but it's white and khaki on black. This is a super comfortable knit dress that still looks dressy even though it is knit. It's another one of my favorite summer pieces.

Worn July 15, 2012

This is a really old dress. I mean, 10+ years old. I can't even really remember when it was purchased. I still wear it because it's comfortable and easy to wear when you don't won't to think about planning an outfit. At least florals were "in" this season. And the sandals are new. 

Do you have pieces like that in your closet? Or do you rotate them out more often?

This dress is another item that I have always worn one way- with a black cardigan. I decided to switch up for some more color today and wear a yellow cardigan. I love grey and yellow together.

Getting dressed on a hot summer day couldn't be any easier than a shirt dress. One piece, pull it on, go. Accessorize up or down as you like. That's what I like.

I love the look of vintage dresses. I wore this to a friend's wedding the first of the month. It was purchased on clearance last summer for $25 bucks. I purchased it when I was shopping for my niece's wedding but didn't wear it then becauese I was afraid I would clash with the rest of the family in the photos, but I was in love with the dress so I kept it, and for $25 bucks, why not? Since I was on a vintage kick, I wore some of my (near) vintage bracelets, including a gold coin bracelet. Remember those?
