Outfit of the Week

This week's outfit is to take a step into fall with a dress.  The goal and inspiration for this outfit is the ruffle trend.  However, I prefer to take this trend in a more subtle, classy, and grown-up way.  I have provided two different shoe options depending upon the style direction you want to take. 

Dress:  LC Lauren Conrad Ruffle Chiffon Trim Dress - current price:  $47.80 at Kohls.  This dress has a very femine look that is very appropriate for work or a great girls' night out (depending on how you accessorize it).  This particualr LC dress is not too "young" for those in their late 20's or 30's to wear.

Shoes:

Option 1:  Dollhouse Sici Bootie - current price:  $32.95 at DSW Shoes.  These cute booties take the ruffle trend to your feet.  These shoes are a cute way to take the dress into work without being boring.

Option 2:  Bandolino Hamida (Wide Calf Boot option) - current price:  $79.95 at DSW Shoes.  These higher boots are a great way to take this dress out for a great night with the girls.  These particular boots have the wider calf option which a lot of girls who want to wear this type of boots generally have a problem with.  Sexy!

Jewelry:     Jennifer Lopez Silver Tone Openwork Cuff Bracelet - current price:  $21.00 at Kohls.  Here I have chosen a bracelet (a GORGEOUS bracelet I must say) for an accessory.  I am usually a necklace wearer but I would chose not to have anything competing with the neckline/ruffles of this dress.  If you were to do a necklace, I'd keep it above the neckline and basic (gold, silver, etc).

So there is this week's outfit.  Now we just need a little bit cooler weather to wear it in (still mid-70s here today).  What do you think of this outfit?  Like?  Hate?  Comments?
