WIW: Earthy Black Dress Formula Day 2

Sarah A

I enjoyed using Angie's same formula today but in a different way. Here's take two on the Earthy black dress + hat + bag look. I am having fun getting back to taking outfit photos! I had hoped to wear my lighter wash jean jacket but it isn't as cropped so I like the proportion here better. As always, feedback welcome and appreciated.

Black dress - Patagonia morning glory
Jean Jacket -- Express bleus (thrifted)
Hat - Pistil
Turquoise & pearl necklace -- thrifted
Sandals -- Steve Madden
Watch -- Seiko
Bag -- Vintage coach (dyed turquoise with tarrago color dye)

Ok this is just too adorable. I love the turquoise and denim with the black. This is a fab interpretation of Angie's formula. Love it.

Love this Sarah - and you look so cute in a cap!
I've been thinking about adding a Patagonia dress to my casual capsule. How are they for fit?

ooh, you took Angie's earthy and turned it mineral-rich blue, Sarah! This is a gem of an outfit! You look comfy and happy and snazzy, with an extra mile of style what with the fab bag and pearls and all. Love your sandals (yet again with the shoes, I know --- I'm getting boring or you're getting predictable, lol!)

That newsboy hat is so very cute on you too! (Hmm, you're making me think I need a collection of headgear too...)

WOW! I think I got my first Angie 10! *big grin* ETA: thanks a million Angie for posting how to fold the sleeves up then down in your post a few weeks ago! LOVE knowing how to do this fab sleeve treatment.

DeeDee, the bag projects are pretty easy and relatively cheap for the outcome. Id encourage anyone who is moderately crafty to give it a go if they have an old worn bag around, or find one via thrift or ebay!

Thanks Deborah and Alicat for loving the turquoise -- it is perhaps my favorite color and always makes me happy.

TS, the dresses are pretty great. Although mine are all a few years old now and some the fabrics have changed for the thinner... *frowning* The new fabrics I think are more prone to show off all those little bulges. FWIW, all of mine are size medium (the new sizing is a bit larger as well I have read in online reviews), I wore them pregnant at 5'5 180 pounds and they still stretch into place now at 5'5 135-140. At my lightest I think maybe a small would be better but I am sticking with mediums so far. The few sized items I have are 6's. I have found 6pm.com to have great prices. The Vitali (organic cotton/poly blend w/ spaghetti straps) i think has the nicest fabric currently.

ManidipaM, I love my hat collection! I started wearing them a few years ago since I was starting to get some sun spots on my face. I wear sunblock too, but the hats have really minimized the UV impact on my skin. They are sometime a bit hot, but I find that with a little getting used to it I don't overheat.

Thanks so much for the information about the dress Sarah. Unfortunately 6pm.com doesn't deliver in Canada but I'm sure I can take the information you've provided and find it elsewhere.

Adorable (in a grown up you look great way!) The jacket is the perfect crop for this dress and you. Love the turquoise accents too. Very nice summer look.
