Some dresses have earned a special place in our closets, right? The ones that always fit and flatter, are easy care, and lend themselves to all kinds of accessories and occasions.
| Welcome to Visible Monday. If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Please be kind and leave a link to Not Dead Yet Style in your post. |
This classic Karina Ruby dress as seen lots of action, from New York City, to the downtown pizza joint, to easy travel wear, and a “nice” dinner out with Sandy. It’s a faux wrap but with long ties that make it even more versatile. I love the full skirt and three-quarter sleeves, and well, every little thing about it.
Today I added a vibrant Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier scarf silk scarf (similar) – because why go small? Old black booties by Sofft (sim) have been re-soled, because they’re too good to let go. Bold vintage cuff from Citizen Rosebud, and I’m wearing my favorite hair by Ellen Wille, the “Wiki”.
A favorite dress can take on lots of lives.
An accidentally blurry pic that turned out arty. Love the wind-blown skirt.

LOL! I pity you. (Shoots pity me look right back through computer screen).S started begging to shovel snow at 7:30. I have two in snow clothes and boots begging to play outside. One still sleeping. I’m on LJ trying to avoid taking kids out to play in the snow. It8;721&#s gonna be a long day!
The scarf is so colourful and beautiful that it really elevates the whole look to another level! You look lovely!

Loving the arty shot! Hope you’ve had a nice Easter weekend x
I love your outfit! you look so young in a good sense in this look!
As I wrote to Susan, I have many new thoughts percolating on this and I will write more in the future. I will say, I’m looking beyond the idea of balance to the idea of wholeness. Wholeness with myself and with all beings.More to come :-)Thanks for being part of such a scintillating coniorsatven.Twitter:

Excellent Karina dress. I have one too and just refound it when I was going through my closet – aka bottomless pit. Yes, these are awesome garments. No wonder you get so much wear from yours. It looks fantastic the way you’ve styled it with the scarf and booties.
I probably don’t wear dresses as much as I like, but deep down I absolutely love them!! They are the perfect all in one…and then the scarf is the icing on top!!

I agree about having a favorite because it can take on so many lives. Great dress and look. And such magic can be made with a great scarf.
I love reading that you got these boots resoled; I resole so many shoes. I don’t understand the throwaway mentality! Your scarf is fresh, and really hits exactly the right note for spring. xx
You’re so right! A favourite dress that can go anywhere and be many things… no wardrobe is complete without one. Something simple, easy to wear and flattering.
