I wore this dress on Wednesday, in the middle of a busy, rainy week, and it brought a little bit of extra sparkle to my day. I felt lovely and beautiful. AND, I felt comfortable and practical (an essential for me). I paired it with fleece-lined, footless tights and an undershirt so I was plenty warm. This dress is made with 100% organic cotton, which makes it feel just as good as it looks.

I prefer shorter dresses in the winter because I like the way they look with tights and leggings. This dress would also be cute with sheer tights and a turtleneck layered underneath. And I bet it would look super cute in the spring with bare legs and sneakers.

A special dress for everyday! A big thank you to Apiece Apart for gifting this dress. This is my first piece from the brand, and I am impressed with the quality and their style-transcending philosophy. I’ll definitely be back.
