I didn't want to do a layered cami look, so I went with something a bit more intentional, while staying true to the shape of the dress.
I love the navy, red and black mix, although mustard and maroon would be pretty too!
Does this negate the booby-ness?

Totally. Well played.
Yep, that makes it work for work!

I don't think the belt works, at all.
I do like the blouse layered under though.

This totally works!

Yes… it works well (to my eye). The red/navy/black combo is, indeed, very nice.

The layered blouse is perfect!
Alassë replied 10 years ago
Yes. Totally! Can't wait to see the other combos.

the blouse under the dress works well! It took me a minute to even remember that the dress didn't already have this neckline.

I do like the drapey collar camoflage.
Does it require a belt, or can you just rely on the fit and flare and wear it without interrupting the print?

I have to admit when I saw you were trying to make it work appropriate I though no way but I love your black/white/red version. So pretty!

Before I read Claudia's response I thought exactly the same thing: Well played"! The top looks like the perfect layering choice.

Looks good for work or meeting the boy's parents. Stick with just the dress for date night!

Aren't you the clever girl????? Love!

Teeheeheehee.
Nope, I don't need to wear a belt with it at all, it's beautifully tailored. I can actually get by with some less supportive bras too with this dress. It's so twirly and fun.
*wheeeeee*
Glad you all think it works here; I think it could work with a dotty shirt too, but we'll just have to see :)

Nicely layered, lyn!

Gorgeous! How about a solid color belt? Navy, red, and black is a great color combo.
E replied 10 years ago
Nice! It looks completely natural with the blouse & work appropriate too. :)
rae replied 10 years ago
that looks perfect! i had to take a moment and remember what the booby issue was after seeing this.

I think it works great. I bet it would look great with the dotty blouse like you suggested.

Love it! You are so clever. I love your ability to mix and try different things. Inspirational. Love the topper. If I wanted a belted (not needed) I would go with a thin one. I know I've seen it before one your pictures.
Looks great! If you do want to belt it how about a narrow navy or black one?

I don't care for the belt but the blouse underneath looks great!
rachylou replied 10 years ago
Well done! I think the belt is ok, just quirky.
Mia replied 10 years ago
Hard to tell about the belt. I think you could leave it off. This is very clever girl! I like how you are going to extend the wear of this piece.
lyn* replied 10 years ago
Lol, all about cost per wear :)
I can try a thin black belt; I am hunting for a black patent now belt which I think would work too!

Excellent solution!
