I bought this dress a few weeks ago at Cleo Petite and have been waiting for real spring to arrive in order to wear it. All the snow has finally melted from my yard and we hit +15 Celcius yesterday, so I guess it's time to wear it!
This dress is a jersey knit black, cobalt and white stripe dress with an elastic waist, giving the dress a blouson effect. It is sleeveless but has wide enough shoulder straps to wear on its own comfortably. It has pleats at the rounded neckline and I really like the midi length. I've paired it with a knit black blazer with 3/4 length sleeves, also picked up at Cleo Petite a few weeks ago. I like to have a black blazer in my wardrobe at all times but needed a light weight knit for the warmer months.
I removed the stretchy belt that came with the dress and have instead popped on my black leather belt with silver buckle. Nude hose and my black pointy toe kitten heel pumps round out the outfit. I've added pops of white with my watch and handbag.
What do you think? Were the dress and jacket good spring/summer picks? I can see this dress also working with my white leather jacket, white denim jacket, blue denim jacket and various belts and shoes/sandals. As always, all comment/suggestions welcome.
