Under the Collar

The weather unexpectedly cooled down this weekend – not to the point of needing a jacket, but it was definitely breezy enough to require some light layers.  As I spent time in my closet debating what to wear to church yesterday, I stumbled upon this blouse-over-dress combination.  And I couldn’t resist adding my new metal necklace, which created a layered collar effect & further emphasizes the buttoned-up, demure look. 

 
What I’m wearing:
Zara blouse (last seen here; similar), Trouve dress (last seen here; similar here or here), Pieces collar necklace (here), Guess pumps (on sale here), Expressions NYC miniaudiere (similar), Nails: Sally Hansen Wet Cement

    You look so classy! I don't wear dresses or skirts to church anymore since I have to man handle my 2 little boys. Your kiddos must be well-behaved in church! My 3 year old ripped one of my favorite shirts. It gets pretty wild….
