What NYC Recessionista Wears: everyday adventures dress

You know those days where you can’t wait to put on a pretty new dress you just bought?  Yeah, that was me yesterday.


Ruche earrings (similar) and dress / J. Crew belt (similar) / watch c/o Caravelle by Bulova / moon and star bangle (similar) / Dansko sandals

This dress barely passed the Catholic school fingertip test, so perhaps I should’ve waited to wear it with tights or leggings,  but I don’t really care haha.  I just made sure to hold it down while I was walking over grates and on the subway steps 🙂

I love the colors and the pattern … it’s just so fun.  And it came with a teal ribbon belt, but I decided to pair a patent skinny belt with it instead.

I also purchased this necklace (now sold out) and they strangely sent me the earrings, too.  It doesn’t say on the site that they’re part of a set with the necklace, but I also can’t find them for sale separately anywhere on the website. It’s an earring mystery!

I’ll definitely be getting a ton of use out of this dress … I can totally see wearing it with a cardigan, tights and boots once it’s colder.
