Ugly Beauty

Maggie, of Dimestore Diamond, inspired me to treat this sleeveless dress as a jumper and layer a shirt underneath.



I was reaching for a sheer, aqua* blouse to wear under the splotched dress, when I spotted a dress-turned-into-a-shirt patterned in shades of turquoise, olive, and brown. I placed the two printed items side by side and thought “it just might be ugly enough to work.”





Dress and bag, Mossimo. Shirt, INC (hacked from a swapped dress). Belt, H&M. Shoes, J Crew. Bracelets, vintage, World Market, and Fort. Earrings, Monica D. Ring, vintage.







*Maggie also inspired my past pairings of blue-green with this dress. She owns it in solid olive and has accessorized it with a turquoise belt.
