So I bought this dress from
ModCloth several months ago when it was marked down to about $10 and, even
though I think it’s really pretty, it’s also not something that I really get a
lot of wear out of because it’s very short, very sheer, and has a little sequined
heart pocket on the front that is just a bit too cutesy for my liking. The
solution to this little problem of mine? Layer a top over the dress so only the
darling sequined collar is visible and pair it with a pleated skirt. I’m a
problem solver people.
skirt: found on Amazon / dress worn as
blouse: ModCloth / top: Target / tights: Marshall’s

The sequin collar is so pretty! Now I'm also curious to see the dress in its natural state! :)
Haha, so basically you got a sequin collar for $10, which is pretty darn good ;) Gotta love finding ways to wear items you normally wouldn't wear a lot ;)

it totally works and is so much more you!
I really like the skirt, i could imagine having it as a 'go to' skirt. and love the collar too xx
I adore the sequined collar, it's the little details that can make something so great! Hope you're having a great week!
The collar alone was worth $10, in my opinion! I love how this looks with a sweater layered over it - so cute! And, if you get sick of it, I bet that collar would be perfect for a DIY project. I can never take that plunge with items that cost much more.
I LOVE this look! The sequin collar adds a lot to this ensemble. I too fancy myself as a problem solver with clothing as I hate to waste money so I often improvise.
You clever girl!! I love the dress layered under the sweater with this pleated skirt. I have to say the maroon and black are amazing together

The collar of that dress is totally fabulous, and you already know I am slightly obsessed with that skirt.

Wow! Well done lady...it must be a pretty short dress to be worn as a blouse. I love the color combo here with the rich color of the dress/blouse with the black. Very pretty!
The collar is cute. Now I want to see the rest of the dress!
love your pleated skirt
So creative and genius, that something a super stylish person would do. You are a problem solving expert, if you ask me! The final result is incredible!
I love the pleated skirt, I use to have a pleated skirt... cue the violins, but I gained weight and can't fit into it anymore...
You look fetching and love your little style solutions.

I love what you did! And it looks kinda 90's!
I insist that ring be in every post! Love itt
What a perfect fix! Love how the collar peeks out of the top!
Hmm, seems like layering it opens up a whole new world of possibilities for that dress. I like it!
I do like the subtle sequin collar! What a great idea.

i definitely like how you're using the sequin collar from the dress as an accent piece to your outfit. at least you put the dress to good use!
I loveee the collar trend, problem solving indeed!

your problem-solving skills are exceptional, Sherlock! ;) I wanna see the dress though! It must be adorable with the heart pocket!
Love your adorable pleats. And that collar is darling.
I am curios about the dress??? I wonder what other ways you could wear it. Maybe use a scarf, loose vest, or brooch to cover the pocket. Maybe layer the dress over a shift or camisole.
you're so creative! Outfit look great!
