I had an ah-ha moment with one of my favorite dresses this weekend. You see, this particular dress isn’t one I would normally gravitate toward let alone wear; however, it holds sentimental value because I wore it on our honeymoon last year, so I’m not jumping to get rid of it (even though it has been hanging in the closet since last October …). So, I started scouring Pinterest as I usually do when I am in need of inspiration, and I kept seeing picture after picture of girls turning dresses into skirts by simply pairing the dress with a button down or sweater. That’s when the light bulb went off! And, with leaving a few of the top buttons undone, you still get a little peekaboo effect from the top of the dress.
Those wedges are a rediscovery from the back of my closet – isn’t that the best feeling?! They aren’t quite nude but not brown either, so I think I will be pairing those neutral babies with lots of outfits in the upcoming months.
oh my goodness, I love this combo. Perfect for summer. Fabulous post, love. If you get a moment, I'd love to hear your thoughts on my latest. xx

This is SUCH a cute combo! I have a similar shirt and I have been wondering how to wear it in the summer. Totally stealing your look, yo! xx
I'm sad that those flats are old!! I am on the search for the perfect flats. I love your outfit!
Such a good idea!! I have 5 white dresses from last summers wedding showers/honeymoon that I can't bare to get rid of but also have no where to wear them! I'll have to try this out π
I also meant "gorg!" not gorgo. haha!
Thanks, lady! And, yes – nothing quite beats those moments. π
Yes! Midwest twins. π
Right?! There's really no excuse for me to have all these dresses hanging in my closet now that I "can't" wear.
Thanks, lady!
Ah, I hope you do!
Thanks, Amanda!
It's a great summer look, especially with the cooler temps we've had.
Thanks, lady!
Thanks, lady! I'm pretty sure they are from Forever 21, but they are so old that I can't remember lol
Yes, absolutely! I'm looking forward to wearing this more. Thanks, girl. π
Beautiful look! Love those aha moments and rediscovering things π
I JUST wore something very similar to this the other day to a meeting! Twins!

That is a total aha moment especially when a lot of my dresses on the top aren't work appropriate but then I can throw a top over it and bam….multi purpose!
Absolutely loving this adorable combo on you!

Love the stripes with the lace, super cute! I may have to give this one a try!
