The forecast is showing rain all week in New York so I thought it was the perfect time to brighten things up with this color block dress. I actually wore this to Blogger’s Night Out during Fashion week, but I didn’t get any pictures of it until this weekend. (Although my fellow Dallas girl, Christine, did send me this one.)
There are so many reasons that I am crushing on this dress, I don’t know where to begin. The color, the color block trim, the pop of the purple belt, the flowy & feminine skirt, the transitional sleeve length, and last but not least, the open back.
What fun things do you wear to brighten your mood in the gloomy weather?

LOVE this dress! I have a DVF dress in the same color that I wore to a friend’s rehearsal dinner last May, but I have yet to wear it again. I’ve been trying to find the right occasion, and I think I just realized I don’t need one!! Thanks for the inspiration, Car!
Your blog rocks! xo
So happy to help. 😉 Can’t wait to see you in a month!

The orange and blue combo is AMAZING. I loved this look at BNO…!
Thanks Sonia! BNO was so fun!
I love the bright orange dress, especially paired with the fabulous purple shoes. It’s so glamorous! I’d worry about spraining an ankle in those shoes though…
ha ha! The sacrifices we make…
I love the WHOLE outfit. It might be one of my favorites yet… and, I think I definitely need an occassion to wear it. Hmmmmm.
