Plaid Dress as a Skirt
Blog Note: Whoot! I was provided a gorgeous Karina Penelope dress for this review!
The Chief Blonde is wearing the Karina Penelope dress in purple plaid ($158), J. Crew Jacket (old, similar here), Loft Sweater (Old, similar), Jewelry (Rummage sale finds), Kelly and Katie Boots (similar).
Sometimes You have to Make Do
Occasionally, you have to make do. Sometimes, that works out just fine. For example, I was running short of time but had to get pictures of this outfit taken. Walt and I squeezed in a quick 3 minute shoot while at Sam’s Club getting our tires rotated. Hey, they had holiday decor! I figure it worked.
It’s like this lovely Karina Penelope dress. It has a criss-cross v-front, small gathers on front and back bodice, waistband with pleated skirt, and pockets!!! I love how it is not a big flowy skirt, but a little more fitted. For this outfit, you would just assume it was a skirt unless I told you otherwise, right? I made “Do” to wear this as a skirt and ended up loving the look. I will be doing this a lot more often.
Karina Dresses are for Every “body”
Here’s a few of my friends in Karina dresses as well.

Really like the “V” neckline of this dress. You wear it so well.
you look stunning
LOOOOVE that dress on you! rock it sista!
Aw…says the purple plaid is now unavailable. Such sadness, because it’s so pretty! You’re totally rocking it.
Oh how I love my pleats and plaids! Must be the Scot in me 🙂
I really like it both ways, with the purple shirt and the dress by itself, all of her dresses look so comfy and cute
I love the shades of color in this dress so great dress too own thanks
Love the versatility of this dress! Can be worn casually or paired with other pieces to be dressy. Very flattering cut as well.
This is the one I love the most.
love how you paired it with the sweater and jacket too
I love how you updated the look for winter by adding the sweater. It looks like a completely different outfit. Super cute!
Good length on this dress for casual wear.
I love how you showed different ways to wear the dress! Cute!
I love the color of this dress. The grays and purple are very flattering to you.
I also love plaid love the dress you look wonderful
I love how you’ve made the dress your own creation!You look great! I think for my body type, the plaid dress would be better just accessorized with some gold jewelry though.
I love this dress. It is so versatile to dress up or dress down. Gotta get me one of these.
I love the purple plaid. I think it looks great paired with those boots!
That purple is sure nice! I think it’s your color – it really brings out your hair and makes your eyes pop. Happy New Year!
