Sunny Look for a Gloomy Day

It is 1pm and completely dark outside. Thunderstorms in KY today!  In my mind, though, it is still a bright and cheery sunny day.  So, I thought my clothing should evoke that bright, cheery vibe.

I just knew that my Loft zip pocket dress would help me achieve the above mission.  It has a beautiful, sunburst orange color dubbed "red passion."  Today, the dress is worn with a canvas and leather belt. The Loft crinkle jacket, tan peep-toe pumps, and a top handle bag add finishing touches.

  8. @Andi: Thanks! The stripe jacket kinda made the dress over :-)

    @EbonyCPrincess: Right! It is one of my fave colors of the season too.

    @Sing: Wow! If this jacket is still in store, it must have a super low price. It sold out so quickly when first introduce. I hope you snagged it!

    @Lori: See now, we can shop together! There is rarely a reason to pay full price for anything these days.

    @Kish: How sweet! I have had this dress and jacket for a minute and have also never thought about pairing them until now.

    @Capis: Thanks! Good to hear from you!

    @Shasi: No doubt! You gotta hit up the Loft. The Loft's summer collection hasn't drawn me in as much as its spring styles though. But, the store keeps introducing the new things, so I am excited to see what's coming up next.
