From Country Chic to City Sleek: Painted Plaid Dress

From Country Chic to City Sleek
I had the honor of doing a guest post this past summer for Alison from Get Your Pretty On where I took an eyelet top from country chic to city sleek. It was a fun concept to work with so I thought I’d give it another whirl with this super versatile Anthropologie painted plaid dress. I have no shame when it comes to this dress. I fell in love with this dress the minute I lay my eyes on it but, as always, I could not bring myself to purchase it at full price. I stalked it as if my life depended on it. When Anthropologie had a sale, I totally pounced on it and I’m glad I did because I snagged one of the last ones left at my local store. 

I can seriously style this dress at least ten different ways, and maybe I’ll feature more looks in the future, but for this post, I decided to do a casual country chic look and a more dressy city sleek look. This dress can easily transition from day to night, perhaps from a brunch date to a date night, with a few simple changes. I love the asymmetrical hem, which makes this dress unique, and the hints of blue intermixed with the painted black and white plaid.

  1. Hello Cynthia! You are right, that dress is to die for. Love the color. the asymmetrical hem and how it fits on you. I am so happy about your guest post on another blogger’s page, that is so awesome! Love both looks. I really like how you were able to take one look to another dimension by only changing the jacket and the booties. Super versatile dress, it is worth every penny! You look beautiful as always. Blessings to you and your loving family. XOXO, Jeannette
