Party Dress
I celebrated my birthday recently with a small family get-together, and wore this dress for the occasion. It was incredibly hot that day, and just taking pictures in the morning was enough to send us back inside to cool off before the party got started.
Since the dress is cotton, it’s completely breathable, so I made sure to purchase both available styles. Alison from Wardrobe Oxygen says that “the most stylish women have uniforms,” and when I find a piece that works for me, I buy as many different colors as I can afford. (Remember this black tee? It’s one of six in my collection.)
Both dresses come with a removable belt and will easily transition to fall and winter when paired with tights and a cardigan, so they are great, inexpensive investment pieces.
I paired the red dress with my favorite espadrilles and my newly painted beads. Here’s a closeup of the stunning sea glass. Have a wonderful weekend!
It looks great with the shoes! I’m also a fan of buying stuff I love in multiples — why bother trying to find more things that look good if I can just get a bunch in different colours? 🙂
Thanks, Shayla! I am such a lazy shopper now that I’m a mom and I don’t have as much time, so I will always grab extra if it works. And since I don’t work in an office, I’m not as concerned with rotating my wardrobe.
I’ve bought the same item in two colours on more than one occasion, if it really is something I’ll wear a lot and love! This dress looks like a great staple…the shape and neckline are super flattering and the pattern is lovely. Plus you could use those belts with other outfits!
Following you, dear 🙂

Thanks, Cambria! I’m a big fan of cotton, so I stock up when I find something I like. 🙂
I do that all the time. If it’s something basic like a white t-shirt that fits really well, I won’t hesitate to buy 2 of the same color just to keep one from getting worn out too fast! You look great!
Terrie, that is a great idea and I have never thought to do that. I always buy different colors, but it makes sense to buy the same color if I will wear them a lot.
