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.

You look the warmest of the ladies in Karina dresses, lol. It’s so bitter cold all over, I like to look at warm dressings. This is my fave. The blazer really dresses it up.

I want that dress, so flattering! You all look wonderful and sexy!
What a cute dress!
Is this dress made of a stiffer fabric or does it have some stretch to it?
Ashley, the dress has some give but not as stretchy as say a jersey.
Thank you! It’s always nice to have just a bit of stretch, so that’s good to know.
