So, I’ve seen this kind of look a few times and love the idea of a chambray shirt with a sequin skirt, but for work, a metallic skirt works a little better. I’ve seen Laura and Jessie (found on Pinterest, her blog is now found under Fashion Salade rock this look, and honestly this look all came together when I decided I wanted to wear my denim dress (last seen here). But of course my struggle of getting ready in the morning… I didn’t know what to wear with my denim dress, so I instead turned it into a shirt by adding a thrifted metallic skirt and a thin leopard print belt. Adding a black blazer and some booties, I had my version of this look complete! Comfy, yet cute and I love that I was able to get more use out of my denim dress! Do you like to wear your dresses as skirts or shirts?
Happy Friday, I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

March 1, 2013 at 8:58 AMSuper pretty! I’ve never done a dress as a top – I’ve done dresses as skirts before though! I may have to try the dress as a top sometime! This is a look I’ve been wanting to try too, just need to find the right skirt!

March 2, 2013 at 4:41 PMI think the length of this skirt is what really makes it work. It’s not a mini, so it’s not inappropriate.
Rachel
March 2, 2013 at 5:06 PMHaha, VERY TRUE! Can’t wear a mini to work 😉 But now that you mention that, it really makes me want a gold sequin pencil skirt… hmmmmmm…
