Checkmate

by Jen on Wednesday, July 24, 2013


There's nothing like a perfect day dress to make you stand a little taller: I've been loving French Connection dresses lately (also wore one here) because they fit me right off the rack and seem to make the right parts smaller while highlighting what they should. This checkered one was no exception; I debuted it for brunch with some favourite blogger girls this past weekend and it proved to be the ideal balance between a ladylike frock and a no-fuss, casual piece... while also strategically hiding my post-meal food baby!

Wearing: French Connection dress (c/o), Coach bag, J.Crew shoes, Chanel lips Rouge Coco in Gabrielle

I loooove this dress, Jen! The cut is SO flattering and of course I love anything in a good black & white print! You also pull off the most perfect ponytail!
