WiW 5.15 - Kate Spade Inspired (In the Rain)

A graphic mix inspired by my umbrella (which I got for a song because no one in my home town has any clue who Kate Spade is).

I think I really like this outfit: I think the length of skirt here works well with flats! It's also a neoprene dress which will hopefully still retain it's awesomeness by the time I get to work despite the rain.

Also, blogger inspired buy on this dress, and it was on such mega clearance I have it in a 10 and a 12 (from the UK) so I can tuck one into my travel capsule!

Feel good today, lovely ladies!

Lyn - so glad you are feeling well!! Outfit is fantastic and elegant. You have the tinest waist!! Being a rectangle I am filled with envy. Perfect figure for the fit and flares that look so divine on you!! Hope all is well!!

I love your outfit! Very cute umbrella, too! Where did you get the dress?

JenA

You look elegant. I love the raincoat with the dress.

Alassë

Definitely fab!

Aida

Cute and cheeky! That's a lovely dress, I quite like the strong but simple neckline. Extra cheerful with the trench, and a shot of fun with the trench's print mixing. The dangly earrings are a fab accessory, too.

I love that dress on you. Not quite sure of the brown and tan belt with it though.

It's really neoprene - like a wetsuit?? - how cool is that!! - did it survive the rain without sagging?? it looks great!! especially with the dotted trench!!

Day Vies

LOVE!!!! Especially with the dotty coat. I am marking this as a favorite.

Thanks ladies - this outfit was a great hit at work :3 I swapped it out for some nude pumps for the office.

Laura - This dress comes from F&F; the dress is on sale currently (and it comes in a petite size as well), and there is also a coupon code (if you decide to order it - expires May 18th: FF20GIFT14 for 20% off orders over 50 British Pounds). I sized up because the 10UK was a bit tight in the boobage. This is a 12UK.

Anna - I struggled with finding an appropriate belt. I will try another colour next time!

Dustt - And it repels stains! I dropped something on it when eating lunch (naturally it would land on the WHITE part) and wiped off with a kleenex!

The shape of the dress and graphic stripe are perfect on you. I'm curious about the neoprene though, it doesn't get too hot?

Good question, Pil - I didn't notice getting too warm today! I like the structure it provides because even though it was windy, my dress wasn't floppy all over the place! I'd equate it to about a normal poly dress, but not as cool as my normal cottons.

MsLuna

That dress with the polka dot coat!!!! It's just pure lovely!

Jaime

Great dress (and umbrella)!

rae

Neoprene, cool! Adds a fun edge to the sweet shape of the dress. I like pairing earth tones with brights.

Beth Ann

Fabulous dress! Bold, femnine and powerful and a perfect choice for the day.

Gigi

Cute! I love the juxtaposition of the polka dots and the stripes. Super fab!

One suggestion: Maybe you should add some stiletto heels, like in the pic, especially when you are working a 24-hour shift. ;^)

ROFL, Gigi ... there are girls who try to work the shifts in super high shoes. I don't know how they do it!

Sara L.

Great dress! I love it with the polka dot coat.

Lyn!! stain repellant too - OMG - that makes it like a Superwoman dress!! - I so need one as at least once a day I'm using a Tide stain pen to get coffee off of some part of my ensemble!! - that is about the coolest dress EVER now...
