Dress Week: Coming Up Roses

Today, I conclude Dress Week with an ikat rose print maxi dress.

Dress:  Target (old)

Paired with wedge sandals, this dress has a relaxed and laid-back vibe that's perfect for summer.  The floor-length of this dress gives it an easy sophistication that feels casual but a little glam.

I would wear this to an outdoor party, to a casual dinner, or even to go shopping.

Cardigan:  Converse One Star for Target (old)
Clutch:  Vintage (eBay)

For cooler evenings or air-conditioned buildngs, this moto-style cardigan is a perfect lightweight touch.  I bought this cardigan last summer and it continues to be one of the favorite pieces in my wardrobe.

Bracelets:  Target, Claire's Express

Earrings:  Target
Shoes:  Target (Similar here)

Crazy for Cobalt

 Hi everyone!

This morning was another one of those mornings in which I had no idea what I wanted to wear.

This is what I came up with in my mad dash to get out the door.

Blazer:  The Limited (For different look with blazer, see here)

Dresses are a great option for looking chic and put-together with ease.

Dress:  New York & Company (Similar: here)
Tote:  The Limited (See here - no longer available)

Cobalt blue is huge for fall, so I'm looking forward to styling this dress for fall when the temperature drops. 

Bracelets:  The Limited, Target

Today, I added softer neutrals and a pops of bright yellow to keep the look more summery.

Belt:  The Limited
Ring: H&M (For close-up, see here)
