Off Duty: Printed Dress and Hudson Jeans







Dress: Zara (HERE)
Jeans: Hudson (HERE)
Shoes: Jimmy Choo
Clutch: Target
Sunglasses: Edward Beiner
Jewelry: Bijoux Jewelry (Miami), Betsey Johnson





















Can you guys tell that I did some major shopping at Zara's recently. I always tell myself that I'm running in to pick up "JUST ONE THING" and end up leaving the store with a bag full of goodies. I really can't help it, Zara is full of unique and bright pieces that can really make your off-duty spring/summer wardrobe shine. 

This dress is one of those pieces. I can see myself using it as a cover-up on the beach, wearing it with shorts and flats on those blistering summer days, or pairing it with tights to run errands. I chose to pair it with jeans for a quick bite on a rainy day. This definitely wasn't the most practical of outfits, but it was amazingly comfy. After eating, I got home, kicked off my jeans, and lounged around in this dress for the rest of the day. This is the perfect dress for those lazy spring/summer days.

Here's to a productive Monday and the quick return of a lazy Saturday,

    I wasn't sure of how I felt about the neckline at first, but I couldn't pass up on the print :)
    Haven't worn it yet, but I have a few ideas floating around in my head in preparation! You look great!

    1. I absolutely ADORE it!!!! I had a slight issue with the neckline also. But, unsnapping the top button may ease that issue.
