A Dress for All Seasons

08/15/11

I know some people are fans of hot weather, but it's been in the 70's here in Chicago the past couple of days, and I am LOVING it!  Check this out - I'm wearing sleeves!  I'm sure we'll have more of our typical hot and humid weather before summer ends, but I'm enjoying the fall-like weather for now.

I've been trying really hard to avoid excessive and unnecessary shopping, but when I saw this dress at New York & Company the other day, I had to try it on.  And when I saw how it looked, I had to buy it. I like it with sandals now, and I can totally see it with a pair of leggings and flats in the fall, and even with tights and boots in the winter.  So it's all-season, and it was on sale and I had a $20 coupon.  The only thing I had trouble with was the neckline.  It felt kind of odd not having a necklace, but now I'm thinking this would be better styled with some big earrings.  Or, when it cools off, perhaps a bright, bold scarf?

    Great dress - it looks awesome on you! And I can really see it being an all season dress. I'd love to see it with a bright scarf and boots in the fall/winter!

    I can see why that dress was a must buy - the print is lovely, it looks very flattering on you, and you can wear it through fall!  All excellent reasons for a purchase!

    We've had weather in the 70s too, and I like it because then I can go outside without getting too hot.  That dress is cute, and it looks like it will be really versatile.

    That dress is all sorts of beautiful and I can see why you had to snap it up. It looks AMAZING on you and I can't wait to see you style it throughout the cooler weather...

    I like the necklace you're wearing with it. I'm sure big earrings would also look great. A scarf might too, depending on the print.

    While I love the long days and warmth of summer, I prefer fall clothes and things with sleeves.

    I love this dress, and agree it can go all seasons. We're having spectacular weather today, and I'm with you, definately better than that hot hot weather.

    Awesome dress and it's awesome on you.  What about a bright, chunky bracelet/bangle instead of a necklace?  I have a tonne you could borrow ...

    We've been having some cooler weather too--actually kinda weird weather for August.  The dress is a great find.
