This time, I layered a simple black GAP tee underneath, for warmth. I love the contrast of the black background for the print dress! I added a super-skinny belt, black tights and (gasp) medium-brown booties. I had such a good time in this outfit - covered up but still feminine, neutral but not boring.

Bust out, my friends! Many of you don't need this advice, and you've already inspired us with your creativity. For the less daring among us: take a fashion chance and have a blast.
That belt looks really sharp with the dress. I've been layering under my Karina dressed too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! What I like best about this outfit is 1) your radiant smile and 2) that belt! I adore it!
ReplyDeleteHurray for taking risks! I want to try the socks with booties--have bought the socks, no pics yet. And the dress works perfectly for winter with the tee.
ReplyDeleteHooray, and good for you! Isn't it great how much we've all learned from blogging? My Karina dress arrived the DAY before I left town for almost a month. It was torture to have no time to play with it, so I'm looking forward to that when I get back! I will definitely look at your pics for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I used to put away my clothes seasonally. No more! I now add tights, boots, blazers, etc....You look WONDERFUL! Hugs! ~Serene
ReplyDeleteI like that print. I think it would look nice with a bright cardigan too.
ReplyDeleteLove it. The brown booties work perfectly with the print.
ReplyDeleteReally NICE! Not boring at ALL! I like the surprise of brown boots.
ReplyDeletePatti! Loving the sassssssyyyy belt! Great outfit!
ReplyDeleteis that a wrap dress? Looks so snug and flattering on you. And I am so admiring your tiny waist. A great way to wear a summer dress for the cold weather

I love all the details in this outfit! the belt is very clever, very nice Patti
ReplyDeleteIsn't fun to wear summer items in the winter, i can wear my entire wardrobe just by layering, good job!

What a great way to extend the wear on your dress! It's too cute not to wear it year round! ;)
ReplyDeleteI so agree - I love how much blogging has expanded my fashion horizons! I have tried so many new looks.
ReplyDeleteLove your brown booties with this, Patti!
I love the little wrapped belt!
ReplyDeleteFabulous dress, and I LOVE that wrap around belt. You only live once, take style risks. You can always change your clothes. ;D
ReplyDeleteI love that you chose brown boots too and didnt go for the expected black. Very chic.
ReplyDeleteLayers! The answer to so many questions!
ReplyDeleteLovely dress, looks great with the top under it and the addition of the little belt. I never understand the idea that you put half your wardrobe away during winter - with layering, you can wear most things all year round.
ReplyDeleteI love layers and you styled this lovely dress in a very casual creative way!Great styling!
ReplyDeleteI love the tee layered under the dress, and the funky belt! I agree--my creativity has definitely improved since I've started blogging too. How did I get dressed before? :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeletei adore your dress so much....
