FLARE

7-12-10 1

I'm having a love affair with this vest.  I just think it's the coolest thing to happen to my wardrobe at the moment.  It can be thrown over anything to instantly up the style factor without adding too much to the warmth factor.  And I can definitely see this piece working well into the cooler months.  But we're trying not to think about that right now.

If you've been reading my blog since last summer, you may remember this orange maxi.  I don't know what would possess someone to purchase and bright orange floor length dress, but I did.  And I've actually worn it quite a bit, though this is its first wear this year.

I really love how this came together.  Hmmm ... what else can a wear this thing with?

  3. I wore a bright orange maxi dress through two summer pregnancies! I don't know what possessed me when I bought it, but I sure loved it!

    I like this combo!

  4. Love the orange dress - it goes great with your coloring. I laughed when I saw this post because I wore orange and olive green together yesterday, too. Must be something in the air!

  5. K, that dress is fabulous! And that fast that it was 11-ish dollars makes it that much better. I like the combo of today's outfit, if I had that dress I'd try to find a way wear it every day,!

  6. Amazing. I've never seen a military vest look so feminine, or an orange maxi dress look so refined and chic!

  7. Wow--that is one brightly magnificent dress & I like how you styled it to bring that pop of color within a more muted look. I'm jealous--kind of want one for myself :)

  8. Of course the one person to buy this dress would be the one person who could pull it off. The outfit looks great.

  12. I like the vest on you, I had a similar one but it was just a tad too long and I am pretty sure I swapped it away.

  15. What a dress! I love how you've paired it with the military-style vest and the scarf. I can't wait to see how you remix it for the cooler months. Well, I can wait 'cause I'm loving summer right now, but you know what I mean ;)
