WIW - M, T, and Today (Dress week)

I've decided to wear dresses this week since I have so many and why not take advantage of wearing them because they are so easy to coordinate. All you have to do is to throw on a blazer, cardi or a sweater and you have a totally new outfit.

Monday #1 and #2 - I had to dress up yesterday so I wore my new Gap dress with my Anthropologie jacket that I've had. This looked great on the photo and real life and I even got compliments at work. YAY! This out was a definite yes for me and will plan on wearing this more often. I went with neutral shoes.

Tuesday #3 and #4 - Old Navy dress which I've already worn this Winter. I noticed how loose/big it was in the front so I threw on an old boxy yellow cardigan from Loft. I felt like it needed a belt but I was running late so I nixed it and left the cardi open. I'm not sure why I buttoned it in the photo. While not my favorite outfit, I wore it anyway. I don't think I'd wear the dress alone since the front was too baggy.

Today #5 and #6 - I wore my HM dress with my black HM blazer and my blue Chinese Laundry flats. I love this outfit too.

I am not much for prints but I absolutely LOVE the #1. You look great in all of these though-I am not a dress wearer but I am starting to think that maybe I should reconsider

I'm with Victoria - #1 is GORGEOUS! These are all fabulous looks and I agree totally with the ease of dresses.

Oooh! I love your dress week. It's especially fun to see Natalie and Anna's pants in dress form. That last dress is adorable!

Love all of them except #4. I like color but it is a little boxy. I love the nude heels you wear in pics #1 and pic#2!!

Aida

Cute dresses! Really loving #1/2, the dress has such a great cut. I think #3/4 would look great with a shrunken blazer to add some structure and reign in some of the volume (which I can't see from the photo). The print in #5/6 is fab, and I don't usually go for florals! Love it with the blue flats.

Deborah

These all look great to me. Love #1 so fab that I want it:) Like Aida's idea for #3/4 some structure with dress could make all the difference to how you feel in it. And #5/6 is so pretty.

Jaime

I especially love the first one with the jacket. The third one is great also.

Sarah A

I really love 1/2 and 5/6! Wow, both are so striking on you... I think Aida's idea of adding a little structure to 3/4 is great! Actually, when I consider it, I think most of her ideas are pretty fab...

Fabulous! I absolutely love the Gap dress.

Love the first and last outfits! I think you are right about the middle one--it doesn't seem like your usual stellar style :). Maybe a crisp white denim jacket over that dress, or a fitted jacket?

sarah

I really love 2 and 6, and agree with the suggestions for the middle one. I'd be curious to see it with the cardi unbuttoned, as well. What a great collection of dresses you have!

Jyoti

I love your floral patterned dresses! So delicious, and I'm wanting them for myself! (Of course, I know they look better on you because they look made for you!)

Sara L.

Great looks! I love the dress in #5/6. For some reason, I'm really drawn to that pattern. I agree with others that a different jacket or a belt would work with the second dress. I like the nude pumps and blazer with the first dress.

I'm so not a dress person but I love these dresses on you. I see you are wearing a pair of pointed toe kitten heels in 3&4 and they look great. The reason I took special notice is that I bought a very similar pair and wasn't sure about them. Seeing you I'm convincedI made a good choice. Thank you.

CocoLion

I like the dress in 3/4 on you, length and shape are flattering if you can resolve the front (which I can't really see so I trust that it's too big). Would a simple belt work?

I also like 1/2, it looks great with the jacket.

rute

WOW! Love all of them! 1 is so pretty!!!

citygirldc

Thank you all for your reply.

I've actually been looking for white blazer so any recommendations would be helpful. I always wore dress number 3 with a sweater over it with a belt and a jacket. Of course it's getting a bit warm out so I can't do that any more. I also like the idea of a shrunken jacket/blazer so I may have to get out and do some window shopping.

mscooks

I actually really like the Old Navy dress on you - like Aida and CoCoLion said, it doesn't look big from what we can see in the pic, maybe you'll like it more when you find different ways to style it

goldenpig

I love seeing you in dresses! You have an amazing dress collection. I love the H&M dress (of course!) and #2 is too fab!

Ana

I love your dress week, CitygirlDC! The dress is #5/#6 is gorgeous on you! I think it's one of my favorite outfits you've posted. You totally rock floral prints.

Becky

Swooning over #1/2!
