Dress Theyskens’ Theory/ Trench Awear/ Purse Tory Burch/ Belt UO/ Tights Target/ Sunglasses c/o Tory Burch/ Boots Michael Kors/ Ring Samantha Wills
I’ll be the first one to admit that I thought my velvet days were long gone (um, second grade?) but I proved myself wrong when I spotted this dress. The little cap sleeves are actually mesh and the fabric stretches just enough to fit perfectly without being too tight. Since I wear dresses more often than I wear anything else, my boots and tights have been my go-to with this chilly weather. You can find me in a similar combo probably 5 out of 7 days of the week!

i used to always tease my hubby and say that if i let him dress me for date night he would pick out a short “velvet” number. i still haven’t admitted that i am a fan now (again)…because then he will think he was right all along. =) what’s old is new again!

I go in spurts with velvet. Today, I am loving it.

I am in love with that dress…. but I would love to see more posts with less expensive clothing. I can only wish I had that much money to shop with :(

I’ll always be a fan of velvet… it’s such a fun texture to play around with and I love this little blue dress! xx
I tend to stick to a dress with a scarf, tights and boots on the weekdays and a sweater, scarf and leggings on the weekends! There is something to be said to how cute/effortless this look is!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with dresses 5 out of 7 days per week! :) I love that you mixed a light hue jacket, with a medium brown belt and black tights/boots. Breaking fashion rules and owning it! You look gorgeous as always!
Velvet has come a LONG way since us 90′s children were subjected to it in grade school…I love how chic it can be now. This is a perfect weekday look!
nooo, blue velvet is awesome. i wore a blue velvet beret last night and loved it. your outfit is so cute but those sunnies fantastic.

So cute! I’ve been on the hunt for something velvet that isn’t too much of a statement. This little dress is perfect!

I know, I never thought I’d get into velvet again after overwearing it in the 90s but I find myself drawn to it now anyway. Something about the fabric!

Gorgeous dress! Love it :)
Thats so funny that you mentioned ’2nd grade’, b/c velvet also reminded my childhood. The dress looks fantastic! Love the color and the matching ring. Also, I love to see how many ways/different outfit styles you wear this camel bag with.

Julia, the dress is simply amazing! I’ve been looking for so long for a good quality velvet dress, but didn’t find anything as beautiful as the one you’re wearing! Its shape and color are beautiful!

I’ve gotta say, I wouldn’t necessarily be drawn to a velvet dress if I were to see it on a hanger, but I love it on you! It’s fantastic!
