What NYC Recessionista Wears: Unbelievably chic waitress

Yesterday I felt like the world’s chicest waitress — doesn’t this outfit kind of remind you of a waitress’ uniform?

In all seriousness though — if you’ve got dresses in your closet that are sleeveless or have skinny straps, don’t think that you can only wear them during the warmer months. Try layering a collared shirt, blouse or t-shirt under them and voila — you’ve got a whole new look. 
The hubs bought me this Chloe and Isabel necklace for Christmas and now it’s one of my favorites đŸ™‚
