| Dress (Mercer & Madison find at Marshalls); Shoes (Target); Necklace (Helen Ficalora "S" charm) |
This dress is one of my favorite finds from Marshalls this year - the top is cotton and the bottom is linen, which means this dress is extremely comfortable. After putting it on, I felt like it needed a little something. So I grabbed a black ribbon that was meant for another dress and voila! The perfect finishing touch. I used to always get rid of the belts/brooches/buttons/and other random accessories that came with certain items... until I started finding uses for them with other pieces. And I couldn't even tell you what dress this ribbon belt was intended for... Hopefully it enjoyed the new home :)

Wow, I would have thought the ribbon came with the dress! It looks great defining your waist that way. And I would never have had the idea to pair leopard with this...but the shoes look fabulous! A great bit of interest to your lovely ensemble :)
Cute colour blocking! And I love the black and blue together, looks like it was made for each other :)

lovely outfit <3<3
Ooo! I love the simplicity yet chic-ness of this dress!
I love the way the ribbon belt looks on that dress! I never use those belts for their intended purpose either. I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend!
Love this! And I do the same thing all of the time...I have a basket full of belts and ties from other dresses and always find a way to remix them. Well done! And love the pop of leopard!

hi -- I am back.
My post today explains.
Your sense of style and your cuteness are such a nice combo!
have a pleasant day.
I love that you added the ribbon to the dress, it gives it something extra! I used to get rid of everything that came with dresses/skirts too, but now I keep all of those items and pair them with other things all the time. Love this dress on you!

Nice dress, love the colours especially the top blue.
Never would have guessed that ribbon originally went with something else; it fits perfectly here!
I think it looks so good with that dress!! I love finding great pieces at Marshall's!! And that dress looks great!

very cute! I love marshalls/tj maxx, all that. good find!
I do the same thing with random odds and ends. I love the mixed fabrics of this dress. Makes it so much nicer than a plain sleeveless dress.
Beautiful dress!
Nices dress and color. It fits you really well honey!!
