Obviously I haven’t done anything with my hair yet, it’s still a mess. Actually here, it was still drying and disheveled.
This DarylK dress is about 5 years old, and it’s one of my favorite dresses. I wore it a lot when I first got it, then not so much the last couple of years. I love that the waist is elasticized, but the pleating around it tends to add bulk to my middle and hips (right where I don’t need any), so I end up not wearing it all that much. It’s also very thin and transparent, so I always have to wear a slip with it, something I’m not crazy about in 90 degree heat. But…I am still trying to resurrect old favorites from my closet and thought I’d give it another run!
Oh, and I know it’s not technically a LBD, but it’s MY version of a LBD – casual & easy.

Love this outfit! The hoody is VERY lightweight and sheer so that you really have to wear something over or under it, but unlike Splendid’s thermals, it can hold up to more wear. The color is fabulous – it goes very well with blacks and browns – and the hood is just cute. The DarylK top was on sale at Barney’s this week and I’m so glad I snatched it up! It’s difficult to see here, but there is rouching right above the waist to cinch it in a bit; it is SO flattering. It’s pretty low-cut, so I will layer it, but even in the summer, it will be great with just a tank top underneath.
I’m not very excited about this top, so I think it will go back. It is cute, and I love how it accentuates my upper half, but I need more definition of my waist than this top affords. And the color isn’t the most flattering for my skin tone. Find DarylK online at Barney’s and La Garconne. View the collection at DarylK.
