I don’t own many dresses – mainly because they don’t fit me right off the rack & altering them can get quite spendy. But the ones I do have are more dressy styles and I’ve been looking to add a couple casual versions to my closet. So when I came across this tweed & zippered shift on sale, I quickly snatched it up. Admittedly, this is a little shorter than I normally wear, so I will definitely throw on some opaque tights underneath for next time. To keep a mostly-black look from falling flat, I like to mix in different textures. In this case, tweed, pony hair embossed croc & suede add just the right amount of interest…as do my new favorite everyday earrings.
