... I go for what I call subtle elegance. I wore this look to present a paper in a conference this morning. I chose this grey dress because of the ruffly tulle skirt, but I thought I needed to add some color and interest to the dress, hence the pink top. The neckline is a bit low, so some of the grey dress was peeking out, which kept the look modest. And this blazer-style cardi is my new favorite layering piece! It has everything that a cardigan can offer, but with more structure.
Also, I've decided to order the Sinclair in Burgundy Fade glasses from Warby Parker. Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions!
Now, it's time to get comfy and enjoy the rest of the night. Happy Saturday, everyone!
Perfect conference attire! And yay, you got the Sinclairs - they look really good.

ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you that I LOVE your nail polish!! You're such a DIVA! lol Thanks for all of your sweet comments on my blog!
ReplyDeleteI saw that dress at Target and passed it up because I didn't know how to wear it. Now I'm totally regretting it because I love this layered look with the lace on top peeking out and the tulle on the bottom.
ReplyDeleteYou look great!
I love spending Saturday's relaxing. The promise of a Sunday on the horizon, and sweet dreaming makes for my favorite day of the week. You're lovely in glasses btw x

ReplyDeleteAw, you look so adorable. I love the subtly in this outfit! The blazer was a really good addition to the outfit. & I'm so happy you chose those glasses!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love those glasses on you! Great choice. I am completely in love with this look. That cardigan is such a perfect piece, it dresses up the look and I'd bet comfortably. Pearls are my girls so I love the necklace and I have to say the layered look looks fantastic on you!

A blazer-style cardigan? Genius! Lovely ensemble. I hope your presentation went well.
ReplyDeleteI believe this is the frame that I liked most when you last posted. I think they look great and Warby Parker always has such nice ones. I love how you've used this dress to give the effect of a skirt. The ruffles on the bottom make it super sassy! And I like your pearls! :)
ReplyDeleteHey I'm glad you chose those glasses, they look great on you. My try-on order is on its way too, can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm really happy that you picked those--they were my favorite :) And you've also inspired me to do the try-five-thing. I always meant to buy another pair of glasses, but sort of dropped it. But for less than $100?? Tell me how it goes :) I'll be in the process of home try on.
ReplyDeletethat's such a lovely skirt, too.

That cardigan is great! I couldn't figure out at first if it was a blazer or a cardigan--I guess it was both. Layering a top over a dress and then a cardi over all that is something I wouldn't normally do... You've given me an idea, though. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh and thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
Simple yet chic outfit ;)

O very cool. You've kept the look still quite sweet and feminine. When I need to look like I know stuff, I always just reach for a boring grey work dress or something suit-like so you look great!
ReplyDeleteyour glasses are oh-so-cute, and love this chic and smoking hot look on you!

ReplyDeleteSubtle elegance is the perfect way to describe this. Nice style! I love the skirt and the cardi (from Old Navy??? Huh, they must be getting better!)
ReplyDeletehttp://red-soledfashionista.blogspot.com/
The blazer-cardi is such a great go-to piece...I throw mine over everything and I look instantly put together (although mine is also super comfy so there is a double advantage to wearing it! teehee).
ReplyDeleteYou look great!
