Crocheted Dress

I have never worn this dress since I bought it two years ago. It is from a sample sale in NY, and it had just enough unique-ness to it that I thought I needed it. However, here’s the thing, it is a knit crocheted dress, and it’s clearly supposed to be worn in the summer. I’m not understanding this trend of making dresses that are not weather appropriate. But then again, that wouldn’t have stopped me from buying it. I’ll just have to suck it up that I will likely sweat when wearing it, but that’s a small price to pay given how cute and unique it is!

And since it’s Fall now and Houston is still pretty warm, sweater dresses are actually a pretty great option. I decided to style this dress with a denim jacket. I tried it with other jackets made from different materials, but the denim material is THE best. It is a heavier material compared to the sweater material and really complements the dress well.

I also really like the drop-waist. However, I wanted to accentuate the waist still, so I tied the denim jacket around it. That did the trick! For a more casual look, pair with slip-ons, or for a more glammed up look, pair with wedges!
