Outfit 10: Wrap dress worn as coat: Thrifted Simply Vera, Jeggings: Charlotte Russe, Turtle Neck: Gifted, Wedges: Steve Madden ($20!)
I'd just like to coin a phrase right now because I may have just discovered the coolest thing ever, it shall henceforth be known as "coating it". Out of curiosity, I took my Simply Vera wrap dress...and used it as a coat, don't worry I gave my dress a very thorough talk about all of the changes it would be going through and that identity problems would be completely normal and then...I coated the heck out of that dress. What do you guys think, can my wrap dress pass as a jacket? I'm kind of loving it. Me and my formerly known as dress have had to do some intense identity therapy but I think she'll make it through. And that my friends, is a wrap (literally though it is).
Oh man, I'm in love with your blog. I've been finding a lot of fashion blogs lately and I'm afraid I'm turning into an envying, worldly woman. However, that isn't stopping me from following you. Nice to meet you :)

okay so this is brilliant! love it. but it was hard to tell you were using it as a jacket because i can't see what you had under it (creepster? unintentional)
ReplyDeleteadorable. for serious.
ReplyDeleteYour "formally known as a dress" can TOTALLY pass as a coat...and a very cute coat at that!

Adorable! I have a cute little F21 dress that totally doubles as a sleeveless trench in the summertimes, so you'll find no argument here! Pssssh, your blog is so great. Keep it up, lady!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous and those shoes are to die for! I am jealous of them!
ReplyDeleteI think the coat formally knows as the dress looks great and I am so using "coating it" in a sentence today...beside the one I just wrote here
ReplyDeleteI definitely think it works! Love it. (& I want those wedges! <3)
ReplyDeleteWhat a Great Idea a Dress as a Coat, I may have to borrow that..Lol While I'm borrowing that I may need some wedges..please and thank you! Wonderful Remx! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm a little nervous to "coat" it.
ReplyDeleteI also think taking pictures is going to far, but I personally didn't mind that one time because of the situation. Just a side note. :) Thanks for commenting.

ReplyDeleteReally beautiful coat and you thought of such an awesome way of remixing it! I find that wrap dresses (while super flattering) tend to be one note, so figuring out new ways to wear them is fantastic!
