But it is part of what I enjoy. Style is a part of who I am. As superficial and vain as it may be, it&#8217;s a piece of me that I care about. And when I&#8217;m completely honest about it, not every day has to hold a meaningful online conversation, right?<\/p>\n<p>Andrew recently got this dress for me, and I think the main selling point for him is that it is sexy in an understated way. What I love about it is the crazy soft fabric and pretty forgiving shape. There&#8217;s shirring on the sides so it doesn&#8217;t show every little thing. Plus, it&#8217;s long enough to be warm in the winter with some leggings or thigh-high stockings. I thought I would share the dress styled three different ways, because with fewer clothing, those pieces you do invest in need to go a long way!<\/p>\n<p>So here it is: one dress, three ways: First (above), all dressed up with some classic black pumps. Despite the material of the dress (jersey cotton) being very casual, I would wear this out on the town on a date with my main man.<\/p>\n<p>Next, dressed down with sneakers, braids, and a casual scarf.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0340\" href=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5568\/15218858746_64acdcc095_s.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DSC_0340\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5568\/15218858746_64acdcc095_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0340\" width=\"617\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And finally, the winterized version, with warm black leggings, ankle boots, and a warm sweater. Frankly, I wanted to curl up on the couch and take a nap in this last look &#8212; so comfortable and cozy!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0348\" href=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3835\/15055115139_98a5f322e7_s.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DSC_0348\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3835\/15055115139_98a5f322e7_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0348\" width=\"650\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I think there are 20 other ways to wear this dress, so be lookin&#8217; for it around these parts!<\/p>\n<p>Looking for a similar dress?
