Now that I’m back at work, I need to dress up a bit- so today’s outfit is one of my favorite dresses (which I think is actually a nightgown) made into a skirt.
First, I simply added a black v neck shirt and a necklace. I love the neckline of this shirt, it is very flattering. I think the plain black top works because the skirt has so many details with the ruffles.
In the next version I decided to add a bit more color- so I added this purple sweater over the black shirt, then I added a gorgeous scarf that ties all the colors together.
The purple sweater and scarf add a burst of color.
Without the scarf- a necklace works well to tie in the black.
For my 3rd look I added a grey flannel blazer to make it look more professional. I like the belt on the blazer because it emphasizes my waist.
To make it more professional, I added the belted blazer.

Love it as a skirt! I am guilty of doing the same with my dresses! In fact I think I wear most of my dresses as “skirts” more often!

Thanks! I do feel it is a little ‘less dressy’ as a skirt instead of a dress. Love how versatile it is!
Love how you worked this dress. SO many options!
This dress was a great purchase! I’ve worn it all year long and it is unbelievably comfortable! Thanks so much for commenting!
The version with the purple sweater & scarf is my fav! But how could this dress really be a nightgown? It’s so cute and is perfect for a dress/skirt!
i love the blazer!! (but the sweater is so cute too!) what a great purchase!
Thanks! The lighting is so bad in my bathroom that it’s hard to see the details, but it is grey flannel- which is a nice change up from my black blazer that I wear all the time! I bought it several years ago- but didn’t wear it much until lately!
Thanks so much for stopping by- and commenting! Comments make my day! 🙂
Love the options! Very creative and they all look great on you!
