What I Wore – Dressing down a Dress
I wanted a nice, but not too dress outfit to wear to a small get-together with some friends. I was tired of jeans, but thought a dress could be too dressy. So I dressed down a favourite purple Nicole Bridger dress. I have worn this dress before for hanging out with a girlfriend on a weekend. Here I wore it with an Addition Elle Safari jacket, black leggings, camper boots and a gold streetcar pin.
I liked the way this outfit turned out, so I took some advice from The Closet Coach and re-wore a weekend outfit to work to help make an early morning less frantic. Now her post was about re-wearing a worship outfit to work. And my outfit may not be office appropriate everywhere. But it worked for my busy morning schedule and a business casual office.
Note - I did NOT wear the hat to work. The hat was an addition for the photos. I stopped at Two of Hearts on the way home, and had to pick up this cute hand knit mustard hat from Bikay.
And clearly I am unimpressed with having to take photos in my hallway. It will be spring soon right?! Or some magic fairies will come clean up my living room?!

Thanks Heidi. The boots are super comfy - had them 6 years now and the suede still looks great.
