If there is no dress , I have to invent it!


One of the tricks a  woman with a limited budget can do to recreate looks is to simply combine tops and bottoms in the same color to create the illusion of a dress.
I put this outfit together just to prove this to myself  first of all but to also illustrate it is possible.
The line that is around the waist of the model in this particular outfit made it possible not to use a belt To  create a little black or white dress in no time , by using this approach is the most obvious alternative. If I add a belt and a cardigan on top I eliminate the risk of someone  to notice ( if anyone ever bothers) that this is not a dress.
inspiration:Tory Burch
shirt: Emilio Corali (my husband's)
skirt :made by me
shoes: old
bag:uterque

    I agree with two birds, I like your look better! I love the monochromatic look, it's so chic.
