Edgy

I love when I find a good deal or sale. Recently I found and bought this adorable dress, originally $54, for only $11!  It was double clearanced. Love those kind of deals. And I really love finds like this dress... Which seems very cutesy-cutesy with the bow and lace and such. And it IS, but what I see with this dress is versatility.

I have a thing for "strapless" clothing items, mainly because I hate bad tan lines. So in the summer I prefer to wear strapless tops and dresses, to get a nice even tan while I am outside. BUT I also love them for the versatility of them as well. This dress for instance, can be a fun summer dress just as it is. But the color makes it perfect to also wear in the fall. Add some tights, boots, a cardy and maybe a scarf, and you're good to go. It can be worn with a belt, or an undershirt.... There are many ways to style this dress! I love it.
The weather in my neck of the woods is transitioning slowly to Fall. Its definitely cooler, but still pretty warm. I didn't want to just wear the dress as is. So I decided to do something fun a little edgy (for me). I paired it with my favorite blazer, and these new booties I got from my Maurices Shopping Spree Win. Added some edgy metal bling, and a hair style to match and I'm ready for night out.
This look may not seem "edgy" to some... But for me it is. Its a bit out of my style box, and different for me. But I like that! I'm wanting to try new things with my look and style. Ive never had the confidence before to do that, so I am enjoying very much having that now. Its really a lot of fun. 

Anyways... How would YOU style this dress?

What I'm Wearing:
Dress: Macy's
Boots: Maurices
Blazer: Maurices
Ring: Maurices
Earrings: Torrid

  2. I can tell that would be a really fun dress to style! Great find--and such a good deal, too! I also love the sideswept hair, it adds to the slightly edgy feel.

  3. I think you are a beautiful Girl and love your style, I do think a christian Godly woman as yourself should not show cleavage though:( (Save it for your Husband:)) Hope it doesn't offend, I really do like your blog

    1. Kelly, thank you for your honesty. No worries, I'm not offended. I appreciate your thoughts. I definitely think dressing appropriately is important, especially as a Christian role model. :) I guess we just differ on what we see as appropriate and cleavage. I don't think I'm showing cleavage here. At least none that made me question appropriateness. And even my husband loved the outfit. And approved.

      But I do appreciate your honesty and concern. Thank you for taking the time to voice your opinions in a kind way. ♡
