Color Block

Dress: DVF. Bag: Gucci (found during 50% off sale). Flats: Steve Madden. Lookalikes from Max Studio (on sale). Shades: LoveDay31. Lookalikes from NastyGal, Jason Wu or try one of these.

Couldn’t resist the combination of rust and green. I have since sold the bag to a follower on Instagram because I didn’t like the idea of two of the same style. I’ll stick to the white version. If a suede rust bag in a different style surfaces, I’ll revisit the idea.

The dress was a find several years ago. It’s no fuss, it hangs and has pockets – still my dress trifecta for summer!

Love DVF and that dress looks amazing on you. Kelly green/ navy and a geometric print have a timeless appeal that will never go out of style. And Fashion savings alert- DVF can sometimes be found on line at TJ Maxx at a great price, since I live in a fashion-less southern town.

  Good point about TJ, I need to revisit there soon. Yea geometrics do last I’ve noticed.

That print! I recently found a terry cloth DVF wrap dress with that same print but the colors are pink, white an grey. I found it while thrifting! I haven’t seen that print again until now. Very cute!
