Remember that powder blue beauty that I blogged a few days back HERE? Well, as promised I am sharing how I also styled the same dress as a top 😘 This version of the dress just so happens to be a lovely blush hue 💗 I told y'all blush is having a moment!
Background: This ensemble all started from a pin to my bottomless pinterest account, where I save all things great and aspire to try out just about everything, at least once... I pinned an image with this trending color combination and decided that I'd be sure to style something incorporating this color palette just as soon as the weather broke.
Welp, the weather broke! LOL!
I wore this look out & about + to the office. I received a number of compliments, and was delighted that everyone loved the colors together just as much as I did. One family friend repeatedly told me that I looked like a ballerina... hahahahaha!!!! I didn't agree- but I did take it as a compliment😜
This dress worn as a top or a dress is lightweight and breathable - it was perfect for temperatures that reached almost 80 degrees with brief intervals of cool breezes.
Part two: The skirt is a wardrobe veteran, despite it's bright hue it still shines like a rock star with NO STAINS!!! See other looks HERE & HERE.
Until next time,

As Indian Summer rages on here in Los Angeles, I’ve taken full advantage of the sweltering temperatures by playing in warm weather fashion(s) once again. Take for instance this cotton gingham dress by JNY. Nothing feels cooler than breathable cotton and I have a soft spot for black & white color duos. The cut and fit of this dress is fantastic, and reminds me why I truly appreciate well established brands such as JNY. I’ve been wearing JNY for more than twenty years, and have never been disappointed in the sizing, quality, or workmanship of any of their garments. Yes, JNY a.k.a Jones New York, has a fine longstanding reputation of integrity to their consumers. Side bar: On a cooler day not too long ago, I also wore this dress with my suede fringed jacket, black wool fedora, and silver penny loafers ;)
