Happy Monday, guys! I am really making this pink shirt work overtime- it just catches my eye every time I go diving into my closet.
This here dress was one of those "frustrating" items in my closet. It wouldn't work with anything, not one thing. And on the off-chance that I did find a vest or cardi that it could possibly play nice with, the sheerness and tightness of it would make me look a little more...womanly than I'm used to. I looked like the leader of a belly dancing gypsy pack. It was impossible to not shimmy my tatas as I walked; they had a mind of their own in this. Not my usual vintage look, no no.
So, I decided to throw my hands up and stop trying to make it work as a dress...and instead turned it into a skirt. And I think it's pretty :)
shirt- thrifted
dress (worn as skirt)- UO
booties- macys

LOVE this outfit - the hi-lo skirt/dress is too cute as a skirt! BUT, I do think if you found the right slouchy oversized sweater or a relaxed blazer, it'd work as a dress too!

i like the slouchy sweater idea... now i just need to buy a slouchy sweater ;)
DeleteLovely outfit! I would love to see this as the dress alone, just cause it looks so pretty, and because well you are a woman and you have a womanly shaped that I for one think is okay to be seen from time to time, own it.
