My Joanie Dress...

I always tend to wear this dress when I feel the need to 'dress up'... So I figured it was time to try dressing it down. I've already mixed it with red, but with heels and a cardigan, and my hair up... so it still felt very dressy. Then I realized, if I add my little brooch and my spectator shoes, that should really help casual-ize it! Ta-da! It worked. I love how something so small as a brooch helped to turn this dress into a more every-day piece. dress: heart of haute via dress 911 brooch: modcloth shoes: bait footwear belt: from another dress
