Clearly I am someone who loves being comfortable and practical while also being as fashion-forward as possible. I am also someone who is a {major} sucker for a good sale. Some people view a good sale as something that is ‘cheap,’ say under $20, while I gravitate towards a good sale in which there is an item I want that is heavily discounted. For certain designers or pieces, that ‘heavy’ discount may only be 20-25%, so when I saw this Ombre T-Shirt Dress that I’d been lusting over for the longest time go on sale for just over 30% off, I had to buy it. Call me crazy–Kyle does!–but with the sale price AND a few tricks up my sleeve, I was able to get this amazing dress UNDER $100. A splurge, absolutely, BUT I justify it by saying it’s easily transitional from summer to winter & from brunch to work to swimsuit cover-up. The material is soft, flattering, and just the right length!
For this particular sticky, hot Nebraska evening I kept my look cool and casual by adding simple white tennis shoes, a crossbody that plays off the lower layer of the dress, and a simple double bar necklace from Rocksbox. Also wearing the dress to work earlier in the day, I paired the dress with nude flats and a short-sleeved cardigan. Despite being a month away, I’m also planning to pack this for Labor Day at my parents’ in Texas to throw on over a suit out on the boat. My fingers are crossed that this will continue to be a staple in my close for seasons to come.
