Dress (Loft); Shirt (Target); Shoes (Tahari find at Marshalls) ; Watch (Fossil); Earrings (Nordstrom) Ryan Seidel Photography |
I love this dress. It's flowy, romantic, and satin... the perfect little red dress. However it's also sleeveless with a deep V-neck, which instantly eliminates it's office appropriateness. Typically this dress gets worn maybe once a year. Adding a button down and tying it was the perfect solution to getting this dress some much needed fresh air. After tying it - the look was still a bit undone, so I tucked the loose ends. And now my little red dress has a new lease on life, and we're taking full advantage :)

Tucking it in a little bit definitely made it work! It's funny how sometimes such tiny little details like that can make your outfit feel a bit more complete, isn't it? :) Oh, silly fashion.
That Loft Dress is to die for!

You look beautiful

I Love how you styled this dress for the office, and you didn't use a blazer! And it's nice that you can get more wear out of it!
Only once a year? It looks so good on you!
Red definitely looks amazing on you! Loving the outfit combination!

once upon a time I had those exact clothes, but not the shoes and I wouldn't have in a million years thought of wearing them together. But, I love them on you!! It looks so nice all together, especially with the shoes.
Thanks for you comment, too! Heather, have a good day, k?
This is a perfect example of adding wear-value to a clothing item! Loving the chambray shirt on the dressy dress!

Gotta love the transformation of a dress into something office appropriate! What a great idea! I would have never thought it was a dress :) SO CUTE and those shoes, I seriously want to steal them every time I see them... ;) And no worries about this weekend, I actually had a lot of laundry to catch up on and I'm just starting to feel back on track at home after getting the little one :) I know Emma is excited to make a new friend!
chic and classy look! Love it!

I love the way a knotted shirt can give a dress a whole new look! This came together beautifully, and now I want to steal it :)
What a clever way to hide a plunging neckline! I'll have to remember this!
Thx dear, for being nr. 400:D I´m glad I found your blog!

You look gorgeous; fresh and lovely. What a wonderful way to re-think how to wear this dress.
Love restyling my favorite dresses as skirts. So cute. Love the denim.
For the record, Heather, I will be copying this! I love red with leopard print and I just ordered a new chambray top, so you will be seeing this on my blog. However, I do promise to give you credit!
love everything about this outfit!! tied chambrey shirts are my favorite!!
You look great in red and that is the perfect way to wear the dress---the shirt looks great! LOVE the leopard shoes too!!
Great lease on life now! I never would have thought that this was a dress! I thought it was a skirt for sure!
Beautiful combo and a great way to shop your own closet! Love the leopard in the shoes too :)
What a great idea! I should try this with some of my own dresses. And those cheetah print heels absolutely make the outfit!
Ah the old shirt over dress trick, it works everytime. I love the pairing of the chambray with that shade of red. Those leopard flats are a nice touch too.
