LND: Little Navy (Ponte) Dress.

Good morning and Happy first Monday of April! I had to dig through archives with this outfit but most of you haven't seen it and it's a cute little outfit that needs to be shared. As you can tell, these photos were taken at work, in my office at the time, so I apologize.

This Little Navy Dress was the first of its kind in my closet. It is very structured, modern and classic at the same time. Sexy and simple. I love the sleeves and the exposed zipper on the back. I also love the ponte material which washes easily and doesn't wrinkle much. As a matter of fact, I got one in a dark red too. However the red one I had to get a bigger size because sizes S were sold out. Since then I have gifted the red one to my sister-in-law who has worn it a lot. I opted to style it to work in a monochromatic look, so I paired it with black heeled suede booties and semi-opaque black tights. However the tights have an oversized but subtle diamond pattern in sparkly silver, which you can only see in some of the close-up photos. I added a fun bow belt in cognac and to bring out the silver from the tights, all my jewelry is silver. I just love the grape pendant. That day I also carried a black bag similar to this. I wore this outfit to work but clearly the way I styled this little navy dress was perfect for me to head to cocktails+dinner afterwards. What do you think?

  15. Very pretty Ada, I like how you kept it minimal with some lovely jewelry and the belt. The off the shoulder is so lovely on you.

  17. Simple and Sexy is the perfect way to describe that dress- so classic!! I love that belt! Anything with a bow on it is a go for me. I've lately been really enjoying navy and black together. I love experimenting with new color combinations for me- one of the many benefits that I've received from fashion blogging!
