I was so inspired by Inge's post about wearing dresses over pants. It's a look I've never tried, but I adored some of the photos she linked. I realized that I have a colour blocked dress that I've worn exactly twice over the past few years that might work. I tried it on with my Gap skinny black pants rolled up, and my black Okalas. We had plans Friday night to meet a few couples for dinner, and I tried this on as a potential outfit. I chickened out and went to an easy fallback of white BF's and white top and booties (I'll post that in a weeks worth of WIW's next). I'd never met some of the people we were meeting and needed a comfy "me" outfit to keep my confidence up. Anyhoo, here's part of my outfit lab...testing the dress over pants look. I think I like it. And actually, I think I might keep working on it - maybe some distressed skinnies & booties to make it more intentionally like pants vs leggings. This is fun - thanks Inge for the inspiration. What do you think? Thoughts? Tweaks? Do you wear dresses over pants?
