Hi all!
Cobalt is one of those colors that stand out no matter how
much you try to tone it down. I bought this cobalt dress last year and have
worn it a number of times each one paired with different accessories.
This dress has a boxy silhouette, meaning that it does not
have a particular shape or silhouette. I find it a bit tricky to wear clothes
that don’t have any particular shape. Thus, I would ordinarily wear it with a
belt around my waist to add some shape.
But sometimes, when you want to try out new styles, it
doesn’t hurt to try out new silhouettes, hence the lack of a belt to cinche the waist.
In my first trimester of pregnancy, the loose fit of the
boxy silhouette came in very handy. I could get away with wearing this dress
without anybody realizing that I was expecting. On a cold Sunday morning I wore
this cobalt dress with dark stockings, a pea coat, wedges and carried a white
handbag to church. I added yellow and orange earrings and an orange headband on
my afro and orange lipstick.
You can see how easy it is to dress up this dress. It’s one
of those pieces that jus t boosts your mood no matter how bad a day you are
having.
Do you have such a piece in your wardrobe?
Thank you for stopping by.
