Layered Dresses

Thursday, Feb. 23, 2012 | 39 Comments

I really love this Madewell knit dress but it can be a bit plain when wearing constantly. I also love the collar on my sleeveless H&M dress but it’s too cold to wear alone. So I layered them yesterday with some bright tights from GAP. I’ve had these tights for so many years. They’re extremely well made, soft, fit comfortably but not too tight. I’ve been in the mood for a pop of color lately so I’ve been wearing these more & more again.

Haha, thanks! Yeah I love how it /is/ basic but when I wear it multiple times in 1 week it needs “dressing up” on some days

Peetterr Paann Collarrs. ♥ I just ordered a crochet collar, they really are quite a statement piece when you wear them with something plain.

This is really cute. Definitely a look you see in many gal magazines. Your such a pro, I wish I had your closet >

Ohhh it’s so cute! I love layering multiple items for a bit of a change. It’s the best thing to do to revamp a simple piece!

Love how you layered this. So cute!

This is smart! I wish it was cold enough to wear big knits in Cali. I hate how bipolar our weather is. Just the other day it was raining, but today it ended up being 80 degrees. T_T

The color and tights are so cute! The Madwell dress… Not my thing >_> Maybe because of the colors? If it were just gray or something… Sorry Jenny! Not being mean or anything, but just speaking my mind >_>

Such a colorful combination!
And you can use layers of clothes, japanese-style!
I certainly can’t with my latino body type. ^^;;

Getting ready for spring, Jenny, it looks great! ::thumbs up::

I love knit dresses, but here in the Philippines, you can’t wear them because it’s too hot. ;__; Your outfit is super chic though~

That is an awesome combo!! I would never think of putting that splash of red! But I think it just adds an extra pop!

This is a great look! Mostly because the tights give it an edge. The huge pocket on that dress is also interesting. :3

And I have a green dress not too unlike the green you you have, it’s pretty.

I love the combo! The collar peeping out is so cute! Maybe I’ll copy your style but with my LEPSIM knit dress that is too sheer

That collar is genius. I would really like to learn how to make/sew these myself so I can customize it’s shape, pattern and size. It really goes great with the snuggly sweater you’re wearing. Great look!

Waaat that collar + sweater dress looks so cuuute c: and the tights too, I love using tights to just confuse the monotony of an outfit.
