{ways to wear it} Splendid Striped Jersey Dolman Sleeved Top

I have had this two piece Splendid dress for a month and have yet to show you it's natural state. Reason being?  It is just too skin hugging for my taste.  I bought it in the Net-a-Porter end of season sale not knowing how tight it would really be.  But I loved the top part so much that I decided to keep it in the end. Tt's really a shame because the fabric is so soft and comfy.  Since I probably won't wear the look out in public the way I bought it, I thought I'd show it in case it is your style.  I may not like skin tight clothes, but I know other girls do.

Dress/Top Combo: Splendid (net-a-porter sale) $48, Heels: Guess (Marshalls) $40

And here are a few of the ways I have worn the top half.  The possibilities are endless! Next time I'll wear it with my denim shorts from Zara! Perhaps I should wear the dress part as a nightgown so it doesn't rot in my closet.

  1. It sure does look good on you! But you have to be comfortable in what you are wearing. And you are definitely making good use of the top. You could always try and sell the dress portion.

  5. I think the dress part looks really good and not too tight but it's so important to be comfortable in what you're wearing....and you're getting so much use out of the top!

  6. I love that dress combination on you! But of course, it's more important to be comfortable in what you're wearing. Can't wait to see it with the denim shorts. :)

  12. I think that dress looks great on you in its entirety, but I totally get what you mean about comfort and being's style. Maybe when it gets cooler, you could rock the dress with opaque tights or wear leggings and boots?

  18. I like the ways you styled it especially with the jeans too bad it's too right. It doesn't look that tight but I know if something doesn't feel comfy for you then you won't be at ease when you wear it. I think its flattering and doesn't look too tight. You cal also wear it around the house to lounge around too.
