This is my take on wearing a dress over pants, as inspired by Chanel’s Fall/Winter ’12 show, or more recently, Kenzo’s 2014 Fall/Winter lineup. I’ll be honest, I was always and admirer of this trend just never had the courage to pull it off. However, the true motivator for me to finally layer a dress over pants (skinny jeans in this case) was the extreme cold and a longing for Spring. End result: love it, regret not trying it sooner.

As I am typing this I realize that there is a black and yellow trend between the last two posts…At least this isn’t a casual look or else I’d be in trouble by my own standards. I found this dress sitting pretty and all alone on a Winners rack once upon a time ago and finally debuted it to a wedding recently. I do own another all black cocktail dress that is almost an exact replica of this one, however I really dug the print on this one. The yellow satin sash enhances the lovely hourglass silhouette oh so well and that was enough to justify the redundant cocktail dress purchase.

Have a wonderful day – and thank you for reading! xo
