Our "Monday Must Have" outfit - May 9, 2011

Our "Monday Must Have" outfit is this fun and pretty green dress. Pleated all the way down with a tie that pulls it in at the waist. With all the weddings, graduations and parties this spring and summer - we think this is the perfect dress to have in your closet.



The great thing about this dress is all the different ways you can style it. In the picture below, we've added a light cream T-shirt overlay (this piece actually comes with the dress!!). This gives it more of a trendier casual look.



This next picture we've added a light linen jacket that we've had in the store. Especially for these spring nights, it is so nice to have a jacket to throw on if needed. Or if you are looking for some more coverage of your arms, leave the jacket open and your set.




We love to play with different accessories! Especially with a classic pleated one color dress - there are so many options. Here are a couple examples...the first one we added a thin brown belt with a chunky necklace. I think this gives it more of a casual feel. This dress is very girly and adding these makes it less frilly. The second picture we added a double wrap gold skinny belt with a triple layered necklace. I picture this with some gold strappy sandals as well.




I am wearing the medium size dress and I am usually a size 6. I am also wearing the medium jacket and the M/L in the belts. I probably could have gone with the S/M in the double wrap gold one though (this one fits big). I have added several other pictures below of the outfit on the mannequin. The mannequins always wear our small sizes in everything so if you are smaller and more petite- this will give you an idea of what everything looks like. We guess them to be a size 0 - 2. This dress is great for many sizes and shapes because of the one color and the different ways to accentuate the middle.







Here is the breakdown of prices:

Dress: $62
Sheer overlay T: FREE (comes with the dress)
Linen pink jacket: $84
Brown skinny belt: $36
Gold double wrap belt: $42
Coiled snake necklace (pictured with skinny brown belt): $42
3 tiered necklace (pictured with gold double wrap belt): $78 (this is one piece)

In order to receive the 15% off, you need to purchase at least 3 items from above. I would recommend the dress, one of the belts and one of the necklaces...that way, you can wear the belt and the necklace with tons of other things! However, the jacket is a great addition too and can be worn with jeans or white pants...

Here is how you would be saving:
Purchase the dress for $62, the gold belt for $42 and the 3 tiered necklace for $78- this equals $182. Plus don't forget you will get the T-shirt overlay for free that will give you another look. Minus the 15% and it totals at $154.7! You'll save over $25!

We are offering 2 of these outfits for purchase. First ones to email me will receive them - email me at chocolatepeacockboutique@gmail.com.
