Wearing a dress you love is such an easy way to get ready for the day. You can make most any dress more formal or more casual, just by changing up your accessories and attitude.

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. Link back to Not Dead Yet Style if you like – we’re on Easy Does It “rules” now!

This is one of my Karina dresses, the Margaret in royal blue. It’s such a wonderful piece, flowy and easy-fitting, and machine washable. I love the full skirt. Today I felt casual in my Margaret plus a black knit cardigan and silk scarf. My Steve Madden “Troopa” boots are edgy and they’re wearable all day in comfort.

I love to wear casual boots with a dress, it seems so rule-defying.

The scarf can come off to create a simpler, even more casual any-day look. The new lipstick is “Dominate” (whoa) by Laura Mercier, and my hair is the Wiki by Ellen Wille.

I like the simplicity of this version; it fits my current minimalist vibe.

Now, let’s see what’s in your closet, Visible Women.

The guidelines to participate in the Visible Monday Link-Up are so simple:

    1. Whoever wants to can join in! Just compose a post that includes any outfit, accessory, piece of jewelry, hairstyle, cosmetic or other adornment that makes you feel more confident, alive and visible that day.
    2. Go to the bottom of this post and click on the InLinkz button “Add Your Link”. It should open a new page.
    3. In the “Next Step”, you crop the pic (easy tool) you want to display, and you’re done!
    4. Visit a few other bloggers, to make new friends and increase your own following.

 

I’m out of town and doing my computing via my mobile phone, so I won’t be able to comment on all your fabulous looks. Sorry! I will enjoy every one of them when I get home.

Oh hey! Not Dead Yet Style is on Instagram! Please check it out when you have a moment: Instagram.

Stay fabulous and wear what you love, xo
