Can you tell that I’m actually wearing what was a maternity dress under this skirt? It was all sorts of poofy in the belly area when I initially bought it, but it wasn’t anything that a little tailoring couldn’t fix. The length of the dress also fit perfectly underneath this pencil skirt {good thing there’s no back slit!} so it was pretty much asking to be paired together. And I thought about adding a skinny belt originally but ended up going with a wider elastic belt. I think it smooths out the transition between the ribbing texture of the dress and skirt, dontcha think?

My makeup today is yet another tried-and-true favorite. I love my MAC Dashing Lassies Quad and have hit pan on 3 out of the 6 eyeshadows already. I feel like this look is the perfect mix of neutral and smokey — a combination I’m always trying to get right!

That is a lovely print! I think I need more dresses so I can wear them as tops! The shoes are great with your skin tone, too. I never found any comfy strappy nude sandals this summer :/
Jaw-dropping beautiful, as always. The outfit is lovely, and the closeups of your beauty touches are nothing short of gorgeous. Lovely post!

i love the loko and color palette here…great mix of texture here…hard to believe there's a dress hiding under that skirt! nicely done 🙂
This is a beautifully streamlined outfit! Shows off your curves perfectly. The pleating and print are lovely on the dress and that belt pulls everything together.
Love today's look!
Very pretty! This works so well!
Oh I love this outfit! It's got a lovely shape and the colours are nice, the floral print is so cute too, kinda retro. Way to salvage an awesome dress. I've been wearing dresses as tops lately too, it's fun.
You look so beautiful, love the bandage skirt, don't think I've seen them in that color is great, I can't believe that's a dress … a maternity one, you wore it perfectly!

Wow, I LOVE that dress! What beautiful detailing! I'm always tempted to shop the maternity section (not because I'm pregnant, but because the clothes are often really cute!). Good move on the alteration!
The layering trick I love doing and it's crazy that I would have never known they were separate pieces. They fit perfectly together and the wide belt was a great choice!
I'm loving all the make-up looks you've been doing lately! 🙂
This is such a great office outfit! I would never in a million years guess that was a maternity dress before tailoring!

Wow…….that's actually a MATERNITY DRESS??? 😮
Great monochrome outfit dear……….& that make-ups bang on! Beautifully done…. 🙂
I like this outfit, tho I think I would have liked to see it with your other pumps. Too many buckles for my taste. earrings are a great addition.
love your shoes !

thanks so much! it's nice to be able to show off some of my makeup. 20 min well spent in the morning! 🙂
yup, purchased from the Forever 21 Love 21 maternity line. the pattern was so cute and for $24, i couldn't pass it up. it was a pretty simple tailoring job, fortunately. 🙂
I really like this neutral mix and those seafoam earrings! wearing dresses as tops is such a great way to get more versatility out of them!
Gorgeous texture in our outfit. Love your make up too! Great post. I love love love your color combos.

You look fantastic! 🙂 And your eye makeup is GORGEOUS!
thank you! 🙂
Lovely print on the dress and versatile too! Before I got to the bottom, I also noticed how much I love your eye makeup and lipstick so thank you for the details. One day I'd like to see the full dress.
I love the textures of both pieces, and the print of the "top". Your eyes look stunning!
I am loving this outfit- so so so pretty! And I like seeing your eye make up ….so please keep them coming!
yes, i'll definitely style the full dress sometime. it's beautiful!
ok. i know i've been commenting like crazy but haven't checked the blog in a while and you've got some great outfits posted! i think this might be one of my favorites – still can't believe you fit a dress tucked under that body-con skirt i never would have known!!! anyway love the classic look, the neutral color palette, the funky belt and that classic speedy ( i have one just like it from my Mom it's such a fabulous bag!) so. freaking. gorgeous.

I love the pleats on this top! I would have NEVER guessed it was maternity wear. You're very ingenious!
I love wearing dress as a top or as a skirt – this simple trick really makes your wardrobe huge and versatile))) I'd never even thought that that's a dress)

GAH! Hands down one of my fave outfits of yours. I know you posted this last week, but still catching up on my blog reads. I'm nuts about the combination of chevron and striped pintuck (?) detailing on the dress and skirt. And the colors are so pleasant!
