look book: very berry

September 17, 2012

One of my favorite ways to make a nice dress more casual is by layering a top underneath. I love this dress's beautiful berry color and I thought a blouse in a neutral color, with a small print, would work well underneath. Also, this purse's texture hints at a comparison. {Of course, I just noticed that now!}
dress c/o The Impeccable Pig, top old {similar}, shoes Zara, sunglasses Karen Walker, necklace Karen London
bracelets J.Crew and Lauren Elan, purse c/o Brahmin

Have a great Monday everyone!

  4. Wow, such a beautiful outfit! I'm in love with those fabulous orange shoes paired with that gorgeous berry dress. I always wear blouses on top of dresses, but never think of wearing them underneath. Thanks for the great idea!

  29. Whenever I try this trick, it always feel so awkward 9literally, as in the clothing bunches up oddly etc.) but seeing how cute this is, I'll have to give it another go.

    You look great!

  32. An authentic Ferragamo Handbag handbag looks well from every aspect such as proportion. Perfect proportion is the most outstanding feature of a Ferragamo Outlet handbag. The handle is a detail for you to pay attention to a handbag that is completely centered in handle is real. If not, do not consider this handbag as it is a fake.
