These days, I’m all about versatility when purchasing clothes.  And even though I don’t usually jump hard on new trends, one current trend that a girl like me can really appreciate is the “wear a dress as a top” look.

This trend gives your dresses a whole new purpose.  For example, this dress that I’m wearing today came to me as a mini dress.  Yet, I found it to be a little short.  Instead of returning it and doing away with it, I decided that I still loved the floral pattern and girly off-the-shoulder style of the dress.

My solution?  Wear it over my jeans.  I was instantly pleased!

Y’all know that I love a great pair of jeans and cute heels.  So, those were really the only additional pieces that I needed to finish off this look.  These nude heels are from ASOS, and let me tell you that as a brown girl, it’s hard trying to find a nude shoe that’s really NUDE on my skin.  When I came across these babies, I knew I had to have them.  And for only $40, who could resist that!

For accessories, I kept it very simple, per usual, by adding my favorite hoop earrings and necklace.  I’m trying to get away from being too “matchy-matchy”, but I really liked this bag from Target with the top, so I added it as the final touch.

How cute did this look turn out!  This dress-pant combo works perfectly for casual settings such as date night or a fun day out with family (minus the heels).  I will definitely be continuing this trend throughout the year.  I’m even thinking about trying it out with a maxi dress as well.  What do you think about the “wear a dress as a top” trend?  Would you try it?  Let me know in the comments below!
