Guess what! There's a dress like this in a thrift store near you. There really is! I mean, this is just a plain, vintage, jersey dress that wears like a dream. It really couldn't be more simple. But that's the beauty of it. It's like a canvas and your accessories are the paint. I have worn this with flats and a simple belt. I've worn it with brown accessories. I ALWAYS wear it with a statement necklace!
When I wore this on Monday, a coworker told me, "Serene, you look very svelte today!" Svelte you say?! Buh BAM! I'm ALL OVER svelte! I think I can count on one hand....okay, maybe one finger the times I've been called "svelte". But that's what a monochromatic look will do for you. It'll SVELTE you right in the face!
After seeing this picture, I bet a lot of women are going to run to the thrift store!! This looks awesome...I would not be able to wear the shoes, but they look amazing. Great look....and thanks for your support on that other issue!!
ReplyDeletehehehehehe love this and you do look svelte all the time actually! =D
ReplyDeleteI agree!....So very svelt!
ReplyDeleteYour posts are so much fun to read! You do look svelte, and very pretty, in that blue dress and statement jewelry. Your gorgeous hair is a statement too.
ReplyDeleteYour co-worker is right. Svelte and the dress is very versatile--you can dress it up and dress it down.
ReplyDeleteYou look FAB!! And I have a very serious case of shoe envy!!! I love the dress but I ADORE the shoes!!!
ReplyDeleteUm, if I found a dress like that in my local thrift store I'd LIVE in it. I'm not even kidding. You look gorgeous. And comfortable. The best combo EVER.

...and definitely svelte!
ReplyDeleteBefore I read what you wrote, my first reaction to the picture was that you looked very chic. And I thought it was the bracelets and the belt, with the contrast to the shoes. After, I realized how right you are that it is the solid color dress "canvas" that works so well. It doesn't hurt that you have such beautiful hair to go with that blue, too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful dress - I'm looking for one in that shade of blue too - love how you have accessorised it and those shoes are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove the whole look - the dress is really chic and the color is amazing. These shoes are so pretty worlds can't describe them) I hope they are comfortable as well))
