one dress, two ways - mare

in this outfit i could see myself running errands with girlfriends...and by errands i mean things like getting a mani/pedi, browsing the jewelry at youngblood, and drinking on a patio. this outfit is cute, simple but not boring, and comfortable. while i am not wearing this outfit currently i am going to find a patio...cheers!

one outfit, two ways

Since we have such similar tastes, yet both like to be different, we came up with a plan to test those differences. We agreed on one dress and then set out to accessorize the dress however we saw fit. In our searching we picked out some of the same things, but mostly different. This was fun, seeing how someone else can look at a dress and go a different direction in accessorizing it. The only problem is now we both want both of these outfits...

One Outfit, Two Ways - Mare

This would be my "going to a meeting/grabbing drinks after work" outfit. When we decided on the dress these shoes instantly popped into my head, and I went from there...

dress - modcloth. shoes - seychelles via piperlime. bag - need supply co. belt - anthropologie. necklace - Laura Lombardi Jewerly . earrings - elephantine. necklace - edor

see how stef tackled this outfit...

From S to M

I am copying you and sending you these shoes which I believe we should own one of every pair. They meet all of the qualifications...pretty colors, good quality, great price and heels/wedges we could walk in. It is a company called ChelseaCrew...unfortunately you cannot browse there site just yet so you have to google to find a pair online. I stumbled on them at a store in my neighborhood PEMA. Which will be on our list of places when you visit! (hint hint)
