This orange dress seemed like a good idea at the time.
A great colour.A good fit.
The perfect (strapless) shape for warm summer days.
Except when it arrived it was far too tight, and (as it rode up while walking) far too short.
Oh dear.
As much as I am against 'rules' when it comes to dressing, and always up for wearing whatever you want (regardless of age) feeling comfortable is key.
Unfortunately, this dress made me feel VERY uncomfortable!
Skin tight.
Over-exposing.
A little bit 'too much'.
I regretted it immediately.
The dress is well made and comfortable to wear but I felt like a sausage ready for the pan!
Not a great look.
I decided to make the dress more wearable by adding an interesting tunic over the top (see this green top styled HERE with even more layers!) in a satisfying clashing colour.
However, almost any long layering piece would have worked perfectly.
Simple, neutral shoes and small grab bag grounded the bold colours.
A chunky necklace finished things off nicely.
Do you own a dress that's a little 'too much'?
Could you use layers to make it more wearable?
I love hearing from you so please leave me a comment!
