Ivory Trench

The trench is a timeless piece everyone should own. And not only will you always look classy, it's a wise investment.  Wear it for many many years (and it will keep you dry on rainy days like today).  About 90% of my closet is classic/timeless pieces.  So naturally, in my favorite color to wear, this dress was a perfect addition.

Midi length dresses or skirts are not just for taller gals.  Personally I feel they make me look longer.  And I'm more comfortable in longer lengths.

When we finally get some cooler fall weather I plan to contrast this dress with a modern suede Moto jacket.

I replaced the self fabric sash with a leather belt for added detail and color. And for some print and texture a pair of snake pumps. I always add my own belts to dresses.

I've already worn this dress on a gals night and to church!

Trench Dress

When you take a twist on the classic trench and make it a dress you get a perfect blend of timeless style and femininity!

I love the structured cotton fabric and a-line silhouette but my favorite element is the dusty pink color.  It also comes in tan and navy, but I couldn't resist this pink. It is such a soft and unexpected neutral.  Because it's a light and undersaturated color it pairs well with dark rich shades like brown, black and navy.  And how sweet would it look with stripes!

Wear this dress sleeveless this season but in cooler temps layer with a striped tee or dress shirt underneath.

I also plan to swap out the sash belt with a wide leather belt.

Gals, this is one of those pieces that you'll have in your wardrobe for years to come.  Invest in the classics!
