#NSALE FAVORITE // FLORAL DRESS WORN AS A TOP

July 31, 2016

floral-dress-worn-as-a-top-diy
Happy Sunday to all of you! I shared this outfit on Instagram and I got so many great responses that I had to shoot the look for my blog. I ordered this dress for under $32 the day the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access launched and when it arrived I thought it was too short for me to wear as a dress. However, I thought it would be great to wear as a cover-up for a pool party, because the floral print was too pretty for me to pass up. Then I decided to tie a knot in the front and wear it as a flowy top. I’m so happy I figured out a plan on how to keep this dress! I’m wearing a small and the XS would have been fine since I’m wearing it as a top.
The great news is! This lovely silhouette of a dress or top is available in nine different colors and prints. Since it’s part of the #NSALE, you might find that many of them sold out, however I would recommend checking back often to see if your choice of color and size become available. That’s how I was able to buy some styles this morning!
OUTFIT DETAILS: Lush Shift Dress (I’m wearing a small) // J.Crew Rio Sandals (runs small, go up one size) // J.Crew White Denim Stretch Shorts (tts) // Essie Fiji Nail Polish // Celine Sunglasses (similar) // Boater Hat (back in stock)

    Love the idea of knotting up that shift dress and wearing it as a top! Great look!

    Love the way you styled it. So many "dresses" these days are way too short, even for young teens. Many would not pass a dress code!
