Happy Humpday Loves! Thanks so much for all your lovely suggestions and sweet words on my last post! With all those ideas, I'm totally keeping the skirt! So, today's look is an example of how I revamp older clothing styles into something a little more current. This dress is about two years old, do you remember the dresses made to look like they were a skirt and tank? Well I still love this dress and its fun watercolor print, so I decided to add a thick nude belt to divide the outfit for some balance. I threw on my turquoise bubble necklace, over sized clutch, newly favorite nude sandals, and I was out the door for dinner :)
Today I am linking up with The Pleated Poppy, Rolled Up Pretty, and A Little Bit of Lacquer so head over to those lovely blogs to see what other bloggers wore today. I love looking through link ups for inspiration, who doesn't love to be stylishly inspired? Enjoy the pics! :)
Style Tip: Adding a chunkier belt to a dress with two different colors/prints on the bottom and top half, instead of a skinny one, will give you more of an hour glass silhouette in an otherwise shapeless dress.
