Train Spotting in the Alliance Shoes DV8 by Dolce Vita

As summer continues to drift away, I'm not ready to let go. I'm going to keep wearing my dresses. So I paired this one with a fall fave: the chambray shirt. The shoes are really gorgeous to look at, but let me tell you-these are not for walking. These booties are DV8 by Dolce Vita, and they're called the Alliance shoe. The color is bone. It could be that mine are just a little too small, but as an experienced high heel wearer/walker these are the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I've ever put my foot into! But we all know I'll wear them again sometime. Maybe for a nice dinner or something that doesn't involve much walking. 

 The look was put together to make a dress that could be more formal into a more casual look.Try wearing a collared shirt over a bodycon dress for your own similar look. You can make it more casual by adding combat boots or a sneaker instead of heels.

Look of the Day: Sheath Dress with a Collared Shirt

Inspiration:

This was an image on the banner of paperlime.com which I thought was such a cute way to transform a more formal/cocktail dress into a dress to wear to work, or in cooler weather.

Xpression:

For my look I decided to keep it simple with black and white and added pops of color. The dress I chose wasn't a conventional sheath dress, but a cute variation with a ruffled skirt. I chose neon yellow ballet flats, which are comfy for the office, and added purple earrings for more color (but you can't see them, because of my mega-black hair).
