With that being said, I could hardly contain my excitement as I passed by Aritzia (at the mall) several weeks ago and saw the most simple and beautiful dress in the window. The simplicity of the design reminded me of a dress that a ballerina might wear in a performance. It's long, but not too long. An empire waist keeps the top fitted and allows for a fuller skirt, but not too full. Just full enough to make it pretty and add a little movement.
Obviously, I couldn't resist the dress. I had to have it in black and blue (I have a problem!). And, after three weeks, I am pretty sure that I have already gotten my money's worth from my purchase. This dress has inspired many looks already. I can guarantee that this won't be the last time you read about this dress. Today I wanted to share my favorite look thus far...
This is my ballerina look. I am not quite sure if a ballerina would wear this, but I felt pretty, elegant and graceful wearing it... so, close enough! Saturday was a warm and sunny day that was filled with a lot of errand running and playing outside with the girls. I wore the dress with my flip flops... simple.
We ended up going to a fun, dressier place for dinner with the girls - I needed something chic, child-friendly and quick. I added a black ballet sweater, a chunky bracelet and my favorite Madewell Old Town Boot and my trusty black RZ clutch.... dinner ready. I loved my outfit and more importantly, I felt very Audrey Hepburnish.
Unfortunately I can't find the dress online, but I wanted to share a few other drool-worthy tank dresses.
The Miguelina Whitney Tank Dress from Free People would be a perfect addition to my closet...
I am crushing on this BCBGMAXAZARIA Edita Pleated Maxi Dress as well... so many possibilities.
As I find more dresses, I will share them with you. It is hard to come by the perfect dress that allows a lot of versatility. The hunt continues...
