Skirt or Dress?

Aqua Blazer / Skirt-dress
Aqua Blazer / Skirt-dress
Blazer: Sears, Skirt worn as a dress: gift, Shoes: Marshalls
1) It is very hard to find things that match a bright aqua blazer. Black and white are pretty much it.
2) This dress is actually a skirt, but it's really long and ugly. It made me feel like a cross between a boho person and an amish person, so I decided to wear it as a dress instead =]
3) Apologies for a) these pictures taking place in my bathroom, and b) the stoic expression on my face. I'm having an off day.
4) Accessory ideas for this outfit??

hhmmmm. I like the blazer. I really do.

Except I think a tshirt and maybe some leggings might be better then the dress.
I dont really like them together.

i love aqua. Although I agree it is hard to match to.

Yeah, blue in general is a difficult colour. but the blazer looks great with the dress. It looks boho in a FABULOUS way worn as a dress.

like the outfit :)
I think it would look goood with a big silver cuff!
oh and you could try maybe white shoes instead of black to bring out the colour of the pattern on the dress :)

That looks great as a dress.

i have done that too. very savvy.

Oh, about accessory ideas: Try it with different kinds of shoes, maybe! Sandals, ballet flats, chucks, boots, pumps, stilettos,... Although pumps and stilettos would maybe look a bit too grown-up and snubby, but I dunno ^^

Hi there-a good combo, but i think you should add a belt and heels to complete the look!

I would love a long necklace with it. Great jacket and the dress is superb! I really love how the color of the jacket complements the dress. Thanks for your comment, I wish it would get cooler, I want to wear Oxfords, as well. :)

i really like the blazer. i agree with the suggestion of a cuff, or a couple of silver bangles?

you'd be surprised what you can do with an aqua blazer... here's the thing, though: you have to decide between making the blazer the center of attention, or part of a color collage. because both would work. :)

Thank you!! ♥

PS: When you say you love watching Arthur, do you mean the cartoon? If so, met too. I used to watch it all of the time with my little brother when we were younger.. :)

aww...i love this as a dress, it looks way cute on u. accessories...hmm, how 'bout a long boho necklace, i think it'd go well with the dress, either black, silver or gold. nothing too heavy but delicate and graceful!

i wouldnt get any accessories since the detail is already very p[retty by itself. maybe a less bright blazer would work but I really love the skirt worn as a dress
