Colorful Windowpane Dress

in ,

Hello all! I hope everyone is having a great week so far. I recently wore this windowpane shift dress during a little heat wave we had (in the 90s!) and absolutely love its colorful eye catching print. I'm all about wearing some prints (hello stripes, plaid, polka dots, leopard, floral, and more) and love that this dress combines two different ones to make it pop. The rest of the outfit plays with the different colors in the dress. Several people stopped me on the street to ask about this dress. There's just something that makes it stand out from the crowd. Whether its the colors or the print, this dress is definitely a winner. I can't get enough of it!

Happy Wednesday, friends! I can hardly believe its the last day of November already. Seriously, where did the month go?! Wait, check that, where did this year go?? It's almost December which means tons of holiday festivities, fun, and cheer. I'm definitely looking forward to that. I mean, don't we all need a little cheer? I think so.

Now, onto the outfit. Personally, I'm a big fan of matchy-matchy ensembles. Monochromatic or matching prints feels sophisticated. Don't get me wrong, I also love mixing prints and color blocking too, which is trendy and cool, but matching has a classic feel about it. Think back to say the 1950s when you would buy a whole matching outfit. Everything matched and went together. That's where I pull most of my inspiration from. Below I have a few examples of some 1950s women's wear. A check or windowpane print never goes out of style, plus its incredibly easy to pair together or if you want to mix prints, try pairing it with plaid or leopard. The dress I have on is a thinner silky material so layering is a must for the colder weather. It does have sleeves, which is always a plus with dresses! I'm wearing an XS. The scarf is hiding it, but the dress also has a mock neck. I'm kind of obsessed with mock or turtleneck styles right now.

One color combo that will always be effortless and chic is red, white, and black. There's no denying the powerful punch and classic feel it has. The red accents instantly grab your attention and provide that crucial pop. When I saw this dress at Forever 21, I instantly feel in love. It's a good quality piece and has more of a sturdy structure than many other items from there. I bought this in the store and as far as I can tell, it sold out online quickly, though you may still be able to find it in an actual store.

How cute is Ava's little outfit too?! Her top says "Stay Fancy" and I could not agree more =) For anyone that has children with in between sizes, The Children's Place carries them with on trend and chic clothing! Right now Ava could either be in an 18 month or a 12-18 month. Not everyone carries the in between sizes though so it's a score every time I find a store that does.
