So today I wore a dress over pants, just like I planned to for this week’s Tuesday Try. Most women have no problem wearing a dress over leggings but since we all know leggin’s ain’t pants, putting a dress over bonafide pants is less common, yet it’s so practical for winter-sufferers such as myself. I just happened to pick up a *new* dress on a quick thrift stop on my way home from a work conference last Saturday…
I love the colours in this dress and the silk is so soft! The tag says dry clean only but I totally ignored that and washed it in cold on delicate in my washing machine. I’m lazy. Turned out just fine and I didn’t even iron it! I’m lazy. I have never heard of the Charlie Jade label before but a quick search while shopping informed me that this dress would retail around $230 – $265!
The dress is missing the belt. Fortunately, I have about 500 belts that will coordinate.
I think this dress will work over almost every pair of pants I own – yellow, sage, black, periwinkle, pink! Somehow a dress helps make pants more tolerable. Conversely, pants help make dress wardrobe malfunctions more tolerable.
Let’s face it: this dress isn’t exactly a “dress”, on me anyway! (If you have to ask if it’s a dress or a top, it’s a top.) Dress or tunic, wearing a long piece over pants is a style win! It’s easy, warm and pretty much any combination works! I look forward to trying this Tuesday Try with more dresses and pants in Dressember! Meanwhile, this “dress” is a great addition to my closet and I can’t wait to wear it again!
