Jacket: Zara (cool ones here and here // Leather tee: gifted Joie // Dress worn as skirt: Jil Stuart // Heels: Pierre Hardy // Bag: gifted ASOS // Shades: Ray Ban
I wore this dress to my college (F.I.D.M) graduation two years ago and sadly it’s
been hanging in my closet collecting dust ever since.
As much as I’ve tried to wear it to events, I always put it back in the hanger because it just doesn’t feel like the “appropriate” time to wear it. Although you can’t see the full dress because I wore my leather tee over it, the detailing on the upper body is so pretty (i’ll show you guys the full dress on a different occasion). To make it more simple and wearable, I layered it with the leather tee + motorcycle jacket- this way it’s more daytime appropriate!
*Challenge yourself to pull out one of your fancy dresses and layer it to dress it down
and make it more suitable for the day!
Happy weekend!

You look lovely as always
I adore that leather blouson! so chic! xo Nikki
so stylish dress
really liking your leopard tote Jules! this is such a modern and fresh outfit look for the day. I would really love to see the details of the upper part of the dress
I think the idea of you dressing it down with the leather jacket and a few candy arm colours is great. at least, the dress is not getting all dusty 
(and it becomes part of a look that inspires many readers too)

Layering often comes in so handy! Great combination!
http://cookiescoffeecouture.blogspot.com/
I’ve been doing that a lot lately! Actually, you’ve kinda been my inspiration. Ok you have been. Layering more girly pieces with a more casual piece is what I’ve been doing a lot lately.

Wow, that’s awesome that you went to FIDM. I first discovered that school as a freshman high school student in WI and vowed to go there one day. Sadly it didn’t work out. What did you major in?

I did this on Friday–have a red silk floaty dress and layered a black jumper over the top and a trench and it was perps perfect daytime attire and it had the added perk of making feel a bit like a ballerina all day. I love the leather tee–need one of those in my wardrobe!
i have such a girl crush on you! I love your style and your photos are so inspiring—I always look forward to your posts.
