Love at first sight with this navy midi cut-out dress! I spent the month of July in Dallas, which means I was there during the beloved #NSale. In one of my shopping escapades I noticed this dress on the rack. I picked it up, thought, how cute, checked the brand and wondered why I had never heard of it. It’s by Soprano. Have any of you heard of it before?? I love it! In doing a little scoping on Nordstrom’s website I noticed that I liked a lot of things by this brand.
First off, let’s talk cut-outs. As a young 30-something I typically think this style of dress would be better if I were 10 years younger, but, the placement of where the cut-outs are, a little higher and smaller, actually make it more mature and appropriate. I would go up a size for sure, though! I’m in a medium. No matter where a cut-out may be, in typical fashion, it may pinch and push a little bit of skin out, giving the illusion that it’s too small. If you are comfortable with this style, I highly recommend this dress!
I also fell in love with the slit. It’s just on one side and sort of comes to life only when you walk. And the navy color is a year round staple for me, but it’s perfect for the cooler upcoming months. Especially with this cardigan that I paired over it. Wearing a size small in it. The cardigan allows you to wear this dress to a fall event, when it’s cooler out, while also classing the look up! Today this cardigan is in and out of stock for 50% off–under $25! I will be wearing it with everything from a plain white t-shirt, over dresses like here, with shorts, you name it.
Also, if you remember last month when I first picked up these shoes during the #NSale… I couldn’t stop talking about them! These also run TTS. I also have not been able to stop wearing them. The suede and the peep toe look scream fall, but go with so much, especially in this neutral color.
Tell me where you would wear this dress! It’s on my radar for an upcoming friend’s birthday. I hope everyone that has been and still is dealing with the aftermath of the hurricane is safe and sound. Please do your part to spread a little love-I definitely have, if you saw my instastories from today. Much love to all, and thank you SO much for reading! -xoxo-
