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.

Now you are rocking these styles! I love your fashion sense & you look stunning in everything you apparently wear.
I’d love a purple dress!
I just love how it looks with the gray jacket! It changes the look so much, but in a good way.
I have always loved plaid so when I see it paired with my favorite color I am in heaven!
I love all of the dresses.they are gorgeous.
I really love the blue dress that you are modeling. Gotta get one of those.
This is a wonderful plaid fall/winter dress outfit too wear nice one thanks
Ido like this Karina Penelope dress in purple plaid and I like that you paired it up with jacket and sweater and made it look entirely different, that purple grey pattern is very pretty thankyou for sharing this review with us.
i just love the plaid
I like the dress with the sweater over it better.
Oo…this would be so pretty paired with a black lace cami.
I love the criss cross v- neck and the cut and colors of this plaid dress. It is stunning on most people. How wonderful a dress!
I love how you paird the jacket with the dress. I would not have thought of that, but it looks GREAT!
Purple is definitely your color! Great dress, looks flattering on many different body types.
I love them all and you look great but I think for me personally the Megan dress would be the one I would wear most often but I have to say the plaid is really cool looking too.
Love the waistline of this dress.
I love that you included photos of others in the same dress as well. It’s great to see how many different ways it can be styled.
This dress is awesome. It is in my absolute favorite color. I love purple and plaid, and this is the perfect combo of both!
Okay, I love what you did with the plaid dress. So amazing. Wasn’t sure if I could pull off the plaid but you made it look fabulous!
Purple is my favorite color- I could see myself wearing this dress!
