I’ll be the first to admit I’m not the sort of girl who reaches for a dress first thing in the morning. I do love wearing dresses, no matter the occasion, but if I’m just working from home, running errands, or catching up with friends in a coffee shop, leggings and a t-shirt create my go-to outfit. However, if I find a dress that’s as comfortable and natural as leggings and t-shirts, I’m all in.
For this post, I’m working with a cute boutique called Saved by the Dress based in Miami. They offer an incredible collection of reasonably priced dresses for all occasions – I was even reading how a few girls have found their dream wedding dress on the website. And while I wasn’t in the market for a fancy dress, their casual line caught my attention.
I ordered this casual, striped dress thinking it would be a fun dress for photos, good for church, and versatile for any occasion… but little did I know I would be slipping on a whole new perspective on comfortable dresses.
So here’s what happened:
- Tuesday – Got the dress in the mail (just 2 days after I ordered it!)
- Wednesday morning – took the dress out of the bag, steamed it, hung it up
- Wednesday lunch – took the dress off the hanger, put it on, styled it with a bandanna scarf, and the loveliest pair of booties (also from Saved by the Dress)
- Wednesday afternoon – took to a new local coffee shop to shoot photos
- Wednesday evening – had yet to take the dress off
It was easy. Simple. Comfy. Stylish. And I felt like myself.
A couple things to note about the fit:
- It’s baggy. I mean, very baggy and comfy and wonderful.
- BUT! You don’t lose your shape in it. Baggy dresses often overwhelm me, but this one looked like the appropriate amount of loose.
- If you’re 5’8″ or taller this may come a wee bit too short on you.
I already know it will carry me through most seasons. I can’t see myself wearing it in the winter months, but definitely with a mustard cardigan and boots or loafers for fall and denim jacket and mules for the spring.
