One of the best discoveries of my life (ok, that might be a slight exaggeration) is that you can wear a top, sweater or jacket over a dress and totally transform it. I got this darling dress at Nordstrom for a decent price back in November. Today I decided to put a see through knit sweater over it so it looks like I am just wearing a pleated mini-skirt. I really love the way this looks. I accessorized with a cool belt, necklace and adorable shoes. I am quite smitten with this outfit, if I could wear an outfit like this every day, I totally would.
Check out this pose. You know you're impressed.
Dress: Nordstrom, Sweater: Savers, Tights: Hue (gift), Necklace: Clothes Mentor,
Belt: Le Dominique Consignment, Shoes: Isaac Mizrahi for Target (garage sale, thanks mom!)
How do you all feel about this look?
I definitely love the tights!! I am becoming obsessed with polka dots done right. I have a similar skirt and haven't gotten around to wearing it because I wasn't sure what to pair it with. I like what you did a lot!

ReplyDeleteI love this outfit KAssi, the sweater over the dress looks awesome. Oh..and SO glad to hear that you don't wear the same tights everyday! I mean I was kind of wondering with your extensive collection of hosiery if you were secretly hoarding them but not wearing them...haha!
ReplyDeleteThis dress seems a very beautiful itself, but you perfectly transformed it into lovely and a little bit retro look!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress colour and texture and cool tights!!!!
Very nice look!

very pretty and feminine look, I like it that you wore the dress as a skirt, so versatile. The tights look lovely, the pokka dots are really cute. You look glam and dressy, I'm sure you turn heads with this outfit. The belt and accessories are gorgeous. And the pose is adorable!

You look so cute, that skirt is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your tweet about pleats, I came running!
ReplyDeleteI would have guessed this was a cute skirt if you didn't say it is a dress. I've seen bloggers turn dresses into something completely different, like you did here, by adding a top. Nice job.
And I love those tights! Really, really love them.
I said before and I'll say it again, you have the most amazing style! I think of you as a style chameleon because one can never predict what you're going to wear next, you're always changing things up. Another gorgeous look Kassi!
ReplyDeleteI love the skirt-over-dress look! It's like a cheap way to buy a new skirt :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I started following you on twitter! Cute blog :)

ReplyDeleteBTW... it wasn't my "friend" that I saw getting on the elevator after all. Someone else. Oh well.
