It has been a stormy weekend but I couldn’t help wearing this new sundress I got from the Goodwill. Oh yes, this lovely little number is from the Goodwill-a steal at $6.99.

I was freezing but we sacrifice to look good right? I’m sure you all have sundresses in your wardrobe that you aren’t wearing. Wouldn’t it be lovely to wear them again, layered amongst other fantastic pieces? Some awesome tips for you:

  • Most sundresses aren’t layered so be sure to incorporate pieces like slips, thick tights (double-layered if you must), chunky boots and awesome outerwear. If I was home, I would of worn my fox fur to accompany the dress but my leather jacket had to do. (not shown)
  • For sundresses that are more starchy (not as flowy), pull on a chunky sweater so the bottom half of the dress becomes a skirt. Add a fantastic belt to pull it together and tights, of course
  • Use your sundress as a layering piece itself. Pull on a sheer dress over the sundress to add dimension to the sundress. Layer with chunky scarves and OTK boots for an edgier look

    This post is overwhelming with information. Where do I start.
    1) I love the belt. I am thinking of finding another elephant piece for upcoming FW. Let’s hope I find it.
    2) Every American blogger seems to backing Kristy! I haven’t gotten on the bandwagon yet but I am definitely going to read up on her.
    3) Congrats on the on the Examiner position. I have thought about applying for a while now but school work was cluttering up my desk and my mind. I am looking forward to reading more.

    I just realized this is out of order…

Yes, Kristy is fantastic and truly deserves it. There are other great contestants as well like Mattie & Jenna too. Check them out when you have time!

      Thank you! I’m glad you read it! Makes me happy you guys are supporting this new role! And it’s actually a dress :) It’s a bit big hence the blazer blouse on top. I’m probably going to get it tailored to fit so I can actually wear it during the summer!

      That belt was such a great find! Found it in a vintage shop. It reminds me of the ones Jane of Sea of Shoes sells. So beautiful.
