I have said it before and I will say it again, I am not a fan of winter. My winter clothes probably make up like 10% of my closet. Most of the times during winter, I just toss a cardigan on over my fall and spring dresses to winterize them up a bit. The only downside is this usually covers up some really beautiful tops and dresses! As soon I saw this Dobbin Clothing dress, I was in love! I love that there is movement from the blouson sleeve, but the dress is still fitted in the body. I also love the cut of the v-neck on this dress. I think it comes to the perfect point on the chest. Don’t even get me started on the plum color, it’s definitely up there on my favorite colors to wear list. The cold January temperature we have been having was keeping this dress hanging in my closet just staring at me. I will normally pair my long sleeve button down shirts underneath sleeveless sheath dresses, and so I decided to take a fashion chance and try it under my Dobbin Sylvie dress. Can I just say I definitely had an I’m a genius moment!! I love love love the way this dress looks alone with a pair of pumps, but I was amazed how fabulous it looked with a button down underneath. This is definitely where the great cut of the v-neck comes in handy to allow the button down shirt to rest so perfectly on the top of the dress. Feeling inspired, I decided to toss on my favorite pair of brown boots, and viola – a winter look from a fall/spring dress! I’m so excited to discover a new way to wear some of my favorite dresses ,but I am most excited to finally get to take this dress out for a spin!!
