Visible Monday #36: A Pretty Dress is Always in Style

Welcome to Visible Monday #36! If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the simple how-to.

Today I am wearing my second Karina dress. This is the Carmen, and like all Karina dresses it’s made from the most wonderful stretchy, comfortable fabric. Karina dresses hit me right at the sweet spot, length-wise too.

I really like an open neckline, and this one is open, while remaining work-ready. And I do love a sleeve, especially a fitted one like this: it shows off the shape of one’s arms without showing skin. Thanks Karina, for making dresses that make women smile.

Dress: Karina; Shoes: Tsubo; Necklace: Made by friend;
Peacock bracelet: Forever21
Dresses are so easy to wear, and fun to accessorize. I’ll wear this in the
summer with platform sandals and hoop earrings.

Now, I can’t wait to see what you are wearing today!
