You know those dresses you buy for a specific occasion, and then you can't think of wearing it anywhere else? Well this is my Reese Witherspoon of dresses - it's best worn at a wedding (which is what I bought it for) - the same way Reese is best used for for romantic comedies. And with the cap sleeves and neckline detail this dress is hard to wear to the office - not to mention I'd be freezing. But with the right shirt underneath - this dress was able to break free from it's wedding typecast and play the role it's always wanted to - marketing gal and puppy mom by day who secretly dreams of ruling the world ;)

I have a lot of dresses like this that I need to re-purpose- now I'll just throw on a blouse underneath!
Gorgeous - I LOVE adding a longer shirt to dresses and giving them a new twist. I think you layered this outfit perfectly!
You dog is too cute!!!!!

This looks great and the neckline is perfect for laying. Perfect! I've tried the same thing, but the neckline wasn't right. :(

Um, I LOVE this with the shirt underneath! It's perfect.
Gorgeous outfit! At first I thought it was a complete dress and then I noticed you wore a shirt underneath, great idea.

Great look - I think you definitely transformed it into a nice daytime dress! Very nice!
What a fantastic styling! This is truly inspiring since I love dresses and have lots of them without sleeves.
Thank you ever so much for your lovely comment on my blog! I am already a fan of yours.

Ohhhh, that's a shirt. I just assumed it was a dress with cool sleeves at first, and was scrolling down thinking "Where can I acquire this!?" It's a great styling trick, and it definitely makes the dress into a supercool work outfit!

i love this dress and it looks amazing on you, wedding or office!
Personally, I think this would be a very versatile dress! I love the color and the leopard blouse underneath is just perfect on you! Great for the office for sure!
I am incredibly impressed Heather; the dress alone was very nice but adding the blouse? Brilliant, and it really took it up a notch!
I love this dress - but I especially love the shirt you added underneath! So fun!!
Lovely dress in such a great color! It looks amazing on you!

Love the dress! I think it would work well for the office, too. :)

Cute idea for those hard to wear dresses =) And I love your Reese analogy lol!

Really love this pairing. I need to find more of those dresses in my closet - and more importantly, find ways to re-style them for work!
I definitely have a few dresses like this. I know this one has detailing at the top/front but could you layer something over it to create yet another look?
You look stunning on that dress!
Cute! That first pic of you is so pretty!
Isn't it amazing how adding a shirt under or even over a dress creates a whole new look? I love it. I have done that with some formal and summer dresses and totally made them work appropriate! Love how you paired these two together!

Those sleeves look like they are the part of your dress! Now thats awesome pairing..
Pretty outfit!

That dress is beautiful but I think adding the shirt underneath gives it so much more personality. I love the print on your blouse.
