Four times too many?

Sonia

So I've worn this dress three times, once with some orange and beige colorr blocking heels for my graduation party, once with a grey blazer to a wedding and once with a black blazer, also to a wedding...
So would it be too much for a cocktail party too?

It is winter weather now here where I live, but maybe black tights, black ankle boots and a long camel coat will change the look?

Regards,
Sonia

The dress looks fantastic on you. The only question would be whether you feel okay wearing it again, if you do I think it would be perfect.

This dress looks wonderful on you! Black tights and ankle boots would definitely change the look, but I have two questions: How dressy is the cocktail party (I wonder whether black tights and ankle boots will be dressy enough) and would you be seeing the same group of people that were at the other events to which you wore the dress?
It is a beautiful dress and you've styled it very well in this photo!

Wearing it for the 4th time !!!??? Go for it without an atom of hesitation.

If I had such a gorgeous dress, I would wear it until it's in shreds.

Not at all - the more the better! That just shows how versatile the dress is and you seem to style it differently and that is key. - And CPW goes down every time you wear it

Love the idea about weather styling, and that dress looks AMAZING on you!!

No way would that be too many. That's an incredible dress. I love the idea of styling it new with black tights and boots.

I can definitely picture this with the black tights and ankle boots working. So great to get such versatility out of a dress.

Go for it! The black tights and booties will make it seasonally appropriate. It looks so gosh darn cute on you. Why waste an opportunity to wear it again?

It's a lovely dress, definitely worth wearing more! The black tights/booties + camel coat sound like a great option. If it's for cocktail dressiness, there's always the option of adding in a little shine or sparkle!

Gorgeous dress but black tights & booties don't read cocktail party to me and anywY isn't it always summer in party land? I'd go for black sky high heels or blinging high heeled sandals . No jacket & gorgeous jewellery.

Not too many! It's such a gorgeous dress and you've styled it always in a different way!

Gorgeous dress and you look great in it! I would give it a spin with the black accessories and some shine, as Aida suggested.

This is a wonderful dress, and it sounds like you have ideas on how to switch up the other parts of the outfit. I think it's the height of chic to wear your clothes again and again!

I agree that it's chic to wear fab outfits again and again. Why not get the lowest CPW possible out of clothing you look great in? Besides that, unless you have a seemingly unlimited amount of $$$ to spend on clothing, I don't think you should fret about being seen in the same outfit more than once.

Wear this outfit as often as possible. You look terrific!

This is a gorgeous dress, and it looks amazing on you! I would wear it over and over again. I think the only time I wouldn't wear it is if you are going to two closely spaced events with all the same people.

Sonia

To my disappointment, the cocktail party I was meant to wear it to has been cancelled...
But all you ladies have encouraged me to not worry and wear this wherever and whenever, so thank you!
I absolutely fell in love with this dress when I first saw it. I found it on zara's spring collection catalogue online and searched through all zara shops.. and couldn't find it! I would ask and ask and no shop assistant had apparently seen it before. A week after I went on a search again, and I found it! Never been so happy with a purchase of such kind before.

Bagaline, like you said, I think i will probably wear it until it's in shreads! haha.

Thank you again for your lovely comments ladies x

Thanks again for looking and commenting! x

I'm sorry your party was cancelled. Boo!

I can't see the dress, but if you love it, wear it!

Sonia

Sorry Kristin, I think i must have hidden it.
Festive season approaching, the parties are only beginning!

I wouldn't just wear this to parties. I'd wear this for every day, too. How about popping a black chunky sweater over top it, to do the "chunky sweater over pencil skirt" look? With black tights and flat booties.

How about a crisp white long sleeve shirt underneath, collar popped? Or a black turtleneck underneath?

Would work with a leather moto jacket or denim jacket.

It's a beautiful dress and lovely colors on you.
