So, I've had this dress for a long time. Like, six or seven years kind of long time. I like to call it my travel dress because it dresses up and down easily and it's jersey. Jersey! That's a "roll it up and throw it in your backpack" kind of fabric if ever there was one.
It's been with me to Vietnam, to Turkey, to Guatemala. It's also what I wore when we flew down here to Costa Rica. It was appropriate for the early January cold of DC and the warmth of Costa Rica. All I did was swap a pair of boots for a pair of flip flops when we landed. Easy peasy.
But I haven't worn it again since we've been here until this past Sunday when I pulled it out and put it on. The nice thing about a wrap dress is that it fits through 10-15 pound weight fluctuations, and I'd say I'm at the lower end of my normal fluctuations at this point. The bad thing about being at this point is that I need a little more definition in my outfits because I'm losing my curves.
Well, I know how to add definition! Just belt it! So I add this very adjustable belt at the waist. The problem? Between the slippery fabric, the bunching of the self-belt, and the slipperiness of the belt itself, it was sliding down as the day went on and that is just annoying.
guess you will just have to find a new belt :)
ReplyDeleteI love simple dresses that can go anywhere and do anything. always good to have one of those!
I have o cute as a multi purpose dress too! I love it, and the belt is too cute.

Great dress. Perhaps a scarf would work better. Are you trying to lose weight?
ReplyDeleteThe belt might have been an issue, but you look great. Fabulous dress!
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf idea! I'll have to try it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not trying to lose weight, and I'm pretty sure I eat more since I've been here, but for some reason, my weight just keeps going down.... I don't know if I should start worrying like a good hypochondriac or not.
I might have to replace this one. And I LOVE it, so I kind of don't want to let go. I think I just need to find new ways to tie it?
ReplyDeleteYay for jersey dresses. I'm a total fan as well. You look gorgeous! I'm with Terri, I think a colored patterned scarf would rock plus would probably move around less.
ReplyDeleteThis dress looks amazing on you. I can see how easily it can be tranformd from an every day casual dress to a dress for a date night with just a few pieces of jewelry and some killer heels))
ReplyDeleteYou look really slim and beautiful <3

The dress is amazing. I can see how versatile it is - it can be a casual, with jacket and bigger jewelry, or it can be dress for a date night, if you add a clutch and a pait of some killer heels) Such pieces are so important for every wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteAnd it suits you perfectly <3

I actually have that belt from Target. I wear it inside out, tighten it as much as I can and turn it right side out (if you understand?) Here's a picture
