Breaking the Rules: Wearing a Dress Back to Front

Last week was St. Louis Fashion Week.  I, of course, missed all of the events because of my flu.  Boo…flu! 

I had been reviewing the photo recaps on Alive magazine throughout the week, checking out all the fun and fashion I was missing.  I also planned to catch the final night on Saturday.  I got my outfit ready and everything.  But, alas, at the end of the night, my cough sounded horrible and my voice was barely audible.

Anyway, while planning what I would wear to the fashion show on Saturday night, I discovered a new way I could wear the Kensie dress that I purchased on clearance in Dillard’s a few months ago.  Back to front!  

The funny thing is, when I first spotted the dress in store, I assumed the exposed zipper was in the back.  That was not the case.  But, who says I can’t flip it?  

Wearing the Kensie printed tiered dress back to front.

This dress will certainly be sported to some holiday affair soon.

    I love your idea of wearing a dress both ways to create 2 different looks, and your earrings look STUNNING with your ensemble. Thanks so much for the love!
