navy + scallops

My black work dresses have become more than a staple of my 9-6 wardrobe. They’ve become a crutch. Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with throwing on a black dress, adding a colorful belt and some heels and bracelets for a quick out-the-door morning outfit. But I needed to change it up. The solution? My navy scallop dress!Scalloped 1

Easy to throw on in the morning and the scallops are practically an accessory themselves. The scallop details give the tried and true shift dress a real boost. The form is flattering yet loose, perfect for those days when you have more than 1 margarita and some steak fajitas. Trust me, I’ve done the leg work.

I dressed up my navy dress with gold jewelry from Loren Hope, I love her tassel necklace and layered it with my pearl necklace. I’ve been reaching for my tassel necklace with almost all of my outfits to give it a finishing touch (tassel?). It pairs with everything from my office attire to jeans and a black top on the weekend.Scalloped 2Scalloped 3

    I just got this dress in black a few weeks ago and haven’t worn it yet, but have been thinking about how to style it. Good call with the pop of color shoes!

      You could also layer a button down underneath the dress during cooler weather.

      Confession: I bought it in royal blue too because I get so much wear out of my navy dress!
