OOTD: Origami Sheath Dress

When I saw this dress from J. Crew it was love at first sight.  Sleeves, length and a decent neckline?  Score!  I had a hard time choosing a color but I’m thrilled with my final decision.  I will say, however, that it seems to be made for bustier women, and since I don’t expect a miracle over night by growing a cup size or two, I will have this altered to fit a little better in the bust, as well as the waistline.  I think I could have sized down from my normal size, but I worried about length, so we will just make a few tweaks here and there.  The dress has a little bit of a vintage feel to me, but maybe due to my accessories?

Outfit Details:  J Crew Origami Sheath Dress in Wool Crepe / Bebe Trench Coat

Sunnies from GoJane / Vintage Earrings / J Crew and Dillard’s Bracelets

J Crew Mona Oxford Pumps / Leopard Scarf from Tai Pan

 

See how the dress just sort of hangs in the mid section?  Yes, that will be fixed right away.  I’m sure you are getting sick of the Oxford Pumps, but they are a little too much fun to wear so bare with me a little longer.  Happy Friday!
