What I Wore: Karina Dress Peeking Out

My Karina "Audrey" dress is summery, but I want to wear it all year. So today I topped it with my CAbi jacket/dress/duster and let Audrey just peek out the bottom.

I didn't realize till I saw this picture that I went heavy on the browns for my accents. I'm wearing my fab Cydwoq booties with their almost-spiderweb design, a classic brown belt, wooden bangle and amber pendant (the last three thrifted from the Humane Society Thrift).





In a black-and-white mood, with Marilyn over my shoulder and Audrey
on my dress.

  2. Wow I love this look! The dress is lovely and the jacket on top is such a fantastic cover and versatile piece. Really like the brown accents of your accessories too. Those booties really flatter your slim legs and are a great style.

  9. To wear a dress over a dress is so very special yours. I like the idea so much that I copied you from time to time and wore a colorful dress under my black shirt-dress. This time I love it again and particularly because of the pattern mix. Your shoes are fantastic!

  10. I love the blazer over the dress and how the stripes are just revealed beneath the black - very chic!

  11. That's a great way to extend the wear of a summer dress, Patti, and the little peek of stripiness is lovely! Such cool ankle boots too. xxxx

  12. Love the vivid patterns, both in colour and black and white, and how the overdress works to measure how much pattern is present. And those gorgeous booties!

  13. Love the Cabi duster. I think I might manage this look! I have a pair of booties that are just gorgeous, but I've never gotten up my nerve to try them with a skirt or dress. Cool idea. Maybe I'll get bold and try it!
