Target dress and fringe pouch; Old Navy sandals, old (similar and cuter, imo!); Baublebar choker; Kendra Scott necklace via Rocksbox.

I bought this dress in a panic, heading out to a Monat conference, bags all packed and the thought that what I had was all wrong. Obviously I needed another option (to the five or six already packed, ha!) I walked by it several times before finally deciding to try it on. It had zero hanger appeal, the only thing that made me try it on was a little desperation and a styled photo of it on some other blogger on an advertisement in store. Once I tried it on, I KNEW! I love the blush color and the off the shoulder action that is trending huge right now. I’ve worn it twice to fancier events, with heeled booties and glam earrings. I wanted to see if it translated to a more casual look, and it did. 

Looking at the photos I think I’d try again with simpler metallic sandals and a tote to make it even more casual. I prefer it styled dressier myself, but it’s fun to take things from my closet and make them work for my everyday life (i.e. trips to the grocery store and watching my kids play baseball.) While I probably wouldn’t wear this to  a practice (a bit much, no?), I would meet a friend for coffee or do some errands with my family in it. The fabric is really lightweight (I’d suggest some light underwear or some slipshorts under it, and the size fits pretty generously (I’m wearing an XS.) The only issue? It wrinkles easily, but if you’re okay with that, I am, too;)
