Easy & Forgiving

Mexx dress, Garage denim jacket, Le Chateau pashmina, Bamboo gladiators,
Aldo bag (also seen here), H&M bangle & Tiffany bracelet ... (oops, left my work pass on!)

One and a half weeks into my only-wearing-flats experiment, and I'm getting tired of this.  I feel so casual in flats and while I welcome the breather from heels, two weeks is a long time.  Regardless, I thought I'd give you a peek at this outfit today.  This Mexx dress is a loose crisp (lined) cotton dress, with pockets - which I love!  It's great for those I'm-feeling-bloated days, and also an easy dress to throw on.  I've rocked it with heels and flats, in the summer and in the winter (with and without tights) - it's quite versatile (and forgiving).


Today is your last day to enter my GIVE-AWAY!  It's super easy, just leave a comment on the give-away post & be a follower.  The winner will be announced tomorrow!

  1. Those flats are so cute! They're dressy enough that it's a nice compromise to not wearing heels :)

  7. your shoes look cute with this dress!
    I love flats :) but I want to wear heels more.

    Yesterday we were in NYC and there was this woman in stiletto pumps (gorgeous shoes though) and I was ABOUT to say to my mom "Wow how does she walk through the city in those?" when the woman stumbled and her shoe went flying.... I turned to my mom and said "well, I guess she isn't!" lol

  20. Love the bright scarf. Makes your outfit pop.

    I know exactly what you mean by how wearing flats feels so casual. Atleast yours are still stylish. Some flats are just boring. Hope you have a fast recovery though!! I bet your heels miss you as much as you miss them.

    The shoes in your previous post... O-M-G those shoes are AMAZING!!! I'm sure your wedding fund will forgive you.. {*haha}

  24. Oh wow. A life without heels (or even a week)? That is a bold experiment.

    I know exactly what you mean about feeling casual in flats, they are hard to dress up. I think it's a mental block - because you do look lovely, and the flats are gorgeous.
