A Very “Me” Outfit
My venture into form-fitting dresses & tight, leather jackets was a fun little run…but, it’s nice to get back to a very “me” type of outfit. I love to experiment with different looks and push the boundaries, but I also have days where I just don’t want to think about it too hard.
And on such a day, I grab a cute fit and flare dress, a cardigan, sunnies & a pair of wedges (or flats). This particular dress is my most worn dress of 2017 at the moment. Haha. The lovely folks over at Lilee Yamanto sent it to me, and I don’t think I’ve taken it off since it arrived in the mail! I love a dress that holds a slightly poofy shape without a petticoat (although, I’m THIS close to finally pulling the trigger on one of those).
I also finally got around to investing in a new pair of wedges! It was a really exciting day for me, haha. I’ve been rocking the same pair of black wedges for about 4 years and they are starting to reach the end of their life. I love that my new wedges fit my wide feet so well and how versatile they are.
However, I made the mistake of not “breaking them in” the first day I wore them. And the first day I wore them I swear I walked a hundred miles, so it wasn’t a great idea… let’s just say. These shoes really needed to be broken in before walking all of Sydney! If you happened to notice a bandaid on my foot in some photos, that was from a nasty blister from the day before, haha. Whoops! But after that, my new wedges and I have been getting along just fine!

I love your dress, Lindsey. it looks so beautiful and those flats are so pretty as well. I am sorry about your blister. I hope it will heal soon. Blisters are nasty…small but cause so much pain. :-(( sending you loads of healing energy!

Aw, thank you so much, Miri! It did heal very quickly (fortunately)! Blisters can be so painful in certain spots! Fortunately, this one wasn’t too bad. 🙂 Thank you, again!
You look so beautiful in this print. This fit and flares style dress style really suits you.

Thank you so much! 🙂
Haha! I did a total Sherlock, and thought: “New shoes” when I saw the bandaid in the first photo!
Anyway, you look so lovely. The print on that dress is really interesting. And I have the same “me” outfit – a fit and flare dress, cardi, and flats.
Also – yes, do it! Buy a petticoat!!!
Hope you’re having a great weekend.
Much love,
Mona
Haha! Those darn new shoes! And thank you so much, Mona! I am putting in the order for TWO petticoats tonight! You have convinced me! 🙂 Hope you had a lovely weekend too & much love! 🙂
Fit and flare dresses are still my favorite too! They are always flattering, and this one is gorgeous! 🙂
Thank you so much, Laurie! You always have the best fit and flare dresses! 🙂
This dress is amazing!!! <3 I love the print so much.

Aw, thank you so much! 🙂
Lilee Yamanto seems to be a great line, cause I also like fit and flare dresses, with cardigans, and like you mentioned, without a petticoat, but still a but “puffy”. The wedges seem to be nice, but you are right, walking a lot on the first day… leads to a bandaid 🙁 I loved your dress, it’s really nice with the print and the colors! You always look very beautiful and radiant! Hope the blister is gone by now! Wishing you a lovely Saturday, dear Lindsey!

Oh gosh, thank you, Denise! You are too kind! And thankfully, the blister has gone away and these shoes are officially “broken in.” 🙂 Hope you’re having a great weekend too!
Beautiful dress, you look amazing! I feel the same about the dress, cardigan and flats combination.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Yes, this outfit works perfectly for you. Fit and flare dresses are incredibly flattering on feminine women (which is why I aspire to wear them). The cardi and shoes complete the look. It’s so refreshing to see someone who has found their style.
Thank you! I think fit and flare dresses can work on just about anyone…it just depends on the length for your height/leg length. And the amount of poofiness for your body shape. 🙂 You’ll rock your fit and flare dresses! 🙂
