outfit post Archives - A World of Dresses

Today we are wrapping up our posts about Portland, Oregon with the second edition of what we wore in Portland. My packing was very light and minimal, so I ended up packing lots of dresses. Cece packed light as well. These are the outfits we wore on our last day. I wore my favorite (and only) pineapple dress and she wore some awesome striped shorts she found at a vintage store. We went down to a little spot by the river to dip our toes in and catch some rays of sun. Afterwards, I was told I looked red. Go figure.

I scored this dress on Zulily. How many opportunities do you have to wear a pineapple dress? It has become the perfect bathing suit cover up. Its comfortable and easy to slip off. I decided to pair it with a simple red statement necklace that I’ve had for years, some bright red shades that I found on the trip and the black sandals I’ve been wearing all summer. Each season, I seem to buy one pair of shoes in a neutral color such as black or brown and wear them with everything. This season was no different.

I am just loving these shorts. They are so much fun and can go with all sorts of things. They’re definitely one of those finds that you can get a lot of wear out of.

So this outfit was from the day before but it is also awesome!

What do you like to wear when traveling?

Black blue dress + a link up

Happy Wednesday! Today I’m co-hosting the Jersey Girl Texan Heart link up. What is a link up, you may ask? Link-ups are weekly or monthly online parties for bloggers, more or less. One blogger or a group of bloggers hosts it and encourages other bloggers to link their similar posts up with her’s on her page. It’s a neat way to get your work out there and meet other similarly-minded bloggers.

Each week Monica from Jersey Girl Texan Heart hosts a link up where bloggers can link up whatever is going on in their world. It’s a lot of fun. Her blog too is one I follow. She blogs about style and beauty, but is also not afraid to talk about much deeper things. She’s not afraid to open up and share her struggles, which I respect. I’m sure she’s reached many over the years as a blogger.

So last week, I decided to reach out to her about co-hosting her link up. She obliged and here we are! Oh, and this is Monica, by the way, in her Easter outfit from last week’s link up.

The black blue dress look

Today it’s all about mixing the black and blue in a dress outfit. Recently, I’ve been digging adding pops of royal blue into my outfits. There’s just something so classy about it. Furthermore I have been obsessed with this Perry Street statement necklace. I got it in my first Rocksbox shipment and could simply not let it go. By the way, have you heard of Rocksbox? It’s a monthly jewelry subscription service. If you use my code NINABFF102, you can get your first month free!

This dress is one of my new favorites! I love something with a little poof and pizazz to it! I found it at the Charlotte Russe outlet for only $16!

Dress: Charlotte Russe; Sweater: Gap; Necklace: Perry Street; Earrings: Charming Charlie; Shoes: Rialto

Then I switched it up with the most comfortable flats ever. These are Charming Charlie and I’m obsessed.

Don’t forget to go ahead and meet some fellow bloggers in the link up. Take a look around and leave some comment love!
