And look, I've totally forgotten how to take a proper outfit photo after just a week off from style blogging! Just as I thought I had everything all figured out, I spotted this dress at Loft. It was half off, and with my $20 "rewards coupon" (which means I spend WAY too much of my money at Loft), it ended up being $20. Stylenation, you know I can't pass up a good deal.

I love the cute lace yolk styling on the neckline and the elastic waist that was just begging to be belted. And I thought that being 2 neutrals that are already pretty heavily represented in my wardrobe, it'd be easy to work into my rotation. The problem is the high neckline. I ended up pairing it with a black boyfriend cardigan that would accommodate the shape of the neckline. But that's the best I could do. And you know I need some more color than this. How would you style this dress?
