I’ve had a think for black and cognac pairings lately. First it was my black and white top with my cognac sandals, then it was my black dress with the same sandals, and now today it’s this back and white dress with my cognac platforms. Let’s talk about this dress. How great is it? I love this kimono style. It’s sooo comfy, and at $12 you really need to go purchase it now. No peer pressure or anything. I didn’t do the details justice in the photos. It has cute slits at the hem and arms. A cognac tote would have been the icing on the cake, but I’ll keep that on my wish list for now.
You might notice that I finally did something different with my hair. I never experiment because the truth is I have one trick. I’m good at curling it, and I just don’t deviate. I credit Kathryn for making me branch out. Her post on top knots was just too good. I decided that maybe my hair wasn’t too short to try it. I’ve been doing it occasionally on weekends, and it’s really a fun variation. Let me know what you think.
One more thing and then I will shut up. These. Sunglasses. They are my latest swap out from Ditto’s Endless Eyewear Program (Netflix for sunglasses), and I love them. No way I’d ever be able to try these fancy Pradas on my own. Don’t forget you can use the code STRAIGHTASTYLE for your first month free.

The dress look SO comfy! Your hair looks great. I feel I always have the same hair style, and am totally nervous to try something new (at least for blog pictures).

Thank you so much for the feedback! I live on a budget too, so finding affordable fashionable pieces is important to me. I love blogs of all kinds but I am always bummed when I see a great outfit but will never be able to mimic it because of the price.
Pretty sure I need that dress in my life! Love your half bun!

Love your topknot! I have very fine and slippery hair, and when it was long I could never put it up, as it would fall down after 10 minutes, no matter how much product I added. I’ve kept mine short for probably 10 years now, after I got tired of just tieing my hair in a ponytale. I envy anyone who can make any kind of updo and make it stick! Keep experimenting — think of all the great options you have to be creative and look cool(er)! Your dress is already cool. π
