Shirt: J.Crew – size XXS (factory version on sale)
Purse: YSL
I absolutely adore the color navy and couldn’t help but pick up this J.Crew ponte swing dress. I tried on a size 0 here but it was too big. I was able to find a 00 while visiting my family – yay! The material is a thick ponte which doesn’t wrinkle and so easy to wear.
The dress fits me perfectly and love how it feels like a tailored fit. The length hits me at right at my knees and is a perfect work dress. It looks just as nice w/out a shirt underneath. The short sleeves is a nice change for me and alleviates having to wear a blazer.
This bow belt was taken from a recent find at TJMaxx (see here). I mainly bought the dress ($16.99) for the belt but luckily can make the dress work as well.

Even though the belt is faux leather, I adore it! I love that it doesn’t have excess material like my J.Crew crystal bow belt. The extra belt material tucks nicely inside which makes for a nice and clean look. I love the simplicity of the bow too. Let’s hope this belt lasts and doesn’t break on me! I wish I could find a leather one exactly like this. There are tons of great options out there (similar here and here) if you are looking for a cute bow belt.

What are your thoughts on this dress and belt?
Stylish and classy… not to mention beautiful. That dress is very fun, and the bow belt is a cute touch. I have lately become fond of blush. And so, I adore this handbag of yours. I think you look beautiful, Annie. Great outfit!

The navy dress is great and not to mention the YSL bag! π
But I think the bow belt is a little bit too sweet. Without the bow it would be perfect.
Very beautiful dress, and very classic. Like a daytime, modern day “little black dress”. I like the pastel pink handbag to color to the outfit and the nudish brown pumps to balance it out.

Thank you!
I love this outfit Annie! It’s perfect for work and the bow belt is adorable. I’d also love this outfit with your Ferragamo belt too. I thought about getting the dress when you first posted it on IG but I just noticed the split seam down the middle of the dress. Somehow I think that would look strange on me but I really like the dress on you. π
Thanks Jess π I wanted to give my Ferragamo belt a break. lol
