Pale yellow cardigan, Mossimo. Geometric print dress, Max Studio. Leafy branch necklace, Urban Outfitters. Black pumps, Bandolino.
Some people really hate empire waists and baby-doll silhouettes, but they work for me. I always feel taller with a visually raised waist. I especially like empire waists like this one – where the below-bosom cinching extends down the ribcage a few inches.I’m totally out of ideas on how to style this dress. I’ve worn it the following ways:
What do you suggest I pair it with next?
By the way, I really appreciated the suggestions on what to wear with my brown and white floral skirt. I’m pairing it with my sheer, aqua, tie-neck shirt next week!
That dress needs some yellow pumps & a yellow headband.
ReplyDeleteThe split sleeve detail on this dress is so pretty. I think you should wear it ::gasp:: on its own more.
ReplyDeleteI was definately thinking your yellow pumps as well. With a cincher or obi that has some yellow in it and the look would totally be changed.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love every way you've worn that dress, and I can't imagine how else you can do it! Look forward to seeing, though!
ReplyDeleteI love the belt with it! It's a great dress, I think it looks good all the ways you have shown that you've worn it and I think it would look great just by itself. But I think the belt looks great. Sort of a classy kind of Audrey Hepburn look. But perhaps a splash of color too. I dunno. See I don't give fashion advice, this is why I read fashion blogs, so that you people can tell me how to dress.
ReplyDeleteI loved it with the wide cinched belt. I think this dress would looks really classy with red, too! Like how about red shoes and headband or belt? Also I think you have a cheer bluw short sleeved blouse, right? It might look cool to layer the other short sleeved blouse under it so the sleeves are layered.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to tell you once again how inspiring your blog is. I've been following it for a week or so. I haven't purchased anything new, but I have come up with so many different ways to style my old clothes. I dug up a red, thick, leather belt which I now use to update all my looks. I even paired my relatively summery clothes with tights and turtlenecks to create new outfits.
Thank you!

Wear it with your turquoise pumps (that I covet every time you wear them) and chunky turquoise jewelry.
ReplyDeletetry green
ReplyDeleteI love this dress with the yellow sweater, as well as on its own and with the black belt. Maybe try the black belt look with red shoes? I also thought that brown/tan might go, though I'm not sure how exactly that would work.

How about wearing a lace, sheer or button up shirt under the dress instead of wearing something over it? I'd try your white lace shirt and red pumps!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking a bright layer underneath as well... we're heading into winter on the other side of the world so I was thinking long sleeves. You may find something more summery that works though.
ReplyDeleteA little off note, but Id LOVE to see you in an outfit that pairs colors together you don't normally see people wearing. Like a gorgeous plum and yellow :0)
ReplyDeleteThis look is my favorite, though I always tend to be partial to some of your more feminine looks. --K
ReplyDeleteLove the dress, and you wear it so many ways. Wow. :)
