A rather obvious constant in my wardrobe is a lack of separates. I do occasionally wear skirts and blouses and in even more rare instances, shorts or pants (trousers). I just find dresses so much more comfortable and easy to wear than the other options. However, separates definitely can make for more interesting outfits. Best of both worlds? Dresses like this one that are one piece but gives the illusion of separates.
On days like this one when the weather was glorious and the wind was gentle for once, I spend almost all my day outside. The beach is a nice place for a walk, but I spend more time on our front porch where I miraculously get Internet...although I do spend more time reading and daydreaming than answering the e-mails I know I ought to...

Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
I have a hard time with separates. It seems like I'm constantly looking for new blouses and skirts!

I love when your pictures move! The picture with your skirt bowing in the wind is so pretty!

I noticed that. Hardly any separates at all.
ReplyDeleteBut that's the charm of your wardrobe. You know how to change things up even if your base outfit is a single piece.

I wouldn't have known that was a dress! I struggle with separates too- it's so easy just to throw a dress on and not keep having to pull bits of your outfit up or down
ReplyDeleteooohhh! I love that it's separates! I actually have the opposite problem. I am too tall for most dresses in my size and the next size up is too big, AND I suck at following through with alterations.
ReplyDeleteAnyway - you look amazing, as usual! I love your girly style!

I'm always looking for dresses-like-separates! The only one I've found is a weirdly shaped drop-waist and I've only worn it a couple of times because I always end up buttoning a cardigan over it to make it less strangely proportioned...I adore this dress and I'm jealous of your Virginia locale -- I miss my home :/

I had the same problem! I had like a billion dresses! When I moved to San Fran I found it too cold at first to wear cute dresses that I stocked up on pants but then I had no tops to wear them with!
ReplyDeleteI only have a few dresses, and I work with a lot more separates. I love the print on the skirt. It's a little different for you, and fun.
