black and blue

This is a denim dress that I bought with Kysha in mind, but she gave it a "no, thanks." I think it's going to get a lot of wear year-round because it's so versatile and easy to layer or wear alone.





I kept the vest buttoned-up for warmth under my coat when travelling, but I think it's more flattering worn open over this particular dress. When it's closed, I think it actually makes my waist look thicker, contradictory as it may sound.

And when I got too warm, the vest came off, and the sweater could also be easily removed without removing the dress because it's just a dance shrug.
