A navy tent dress with a high collar is a great closet staple. Throw a cardigan or a blazer on top if your office has a no-sleeves policy (or is super chilly due to overactive air conditioning), wear it with a leather jacket + tights come fall, or with nude pumps and stone jewelry like I’m wearing here.
I worked with Avady Clothing to create this look; they’re an online boutique new to the scene with some super cute + affordable options. After selecting the navy tent dress, I wanted a statement piece to layer over the top: enter this really cute arrowhead stone pendant necklace. Nude pumps, a lapis cuff, and a bright orange + coral lip (thanks, MAC!), and this girl is ready to roll.

So right. With overactive air conditioning giving me the worst summer cold ever, this dress with a belted cardigan, dang, what a find!

I run my space heater under my desk ALL year long- crazy when it’s 95 degrees outside, by my office is always cold! 🙂
Beautiful trapeze dress. What royal/regal color. Very stately & visually classic. You look so pretty.

I wouldn’t be able to wear the higher neck if the rest of the dress wasn’t so breezy, that’s for sure! Thanks, babe! 🙂

[ Smiles ] Ashley, the dress is both elegant and simple!
Love this summer dress, it looks perfect for fall too, at least where I live, when it’s still 100 degrees outside.

Normally, I would shy away from a tent dress because it isn’t super flattering but this one looks amazing! I am seriously so impressed with how feminine it looks and it highlights all the right parts of your body. You look stunning!

Awww, thanks Kelly! Too sweet of you!
I love the simple detailing around the collar. This is very similar to a trapeze dress I used to own. (: My office has a no sleeves policy AND an over active air condition. You pretty much have to dress like it’s fall all year round. (;
Love the cut and color of that dress! I’ve been on the hunt for a good coral lippy – totally checking out the Mac one you linked right now!

I love this MAC version because it’s a cream sheen- so you can go sheer or build it up bold. 🙂

Blue looks great on you lady! xoxo Have a fab day!
