I had so much fun dreaming up this next dress. The house appliques make it really fun. I chose houses because autumn is my favorite season to be at home. I love the fit of this dress, it's super flattering! Thanks so much to my beautiful pal, Katie, for modeling these looks.
This first styling is a little more work ready. You could wear this to a meeting or out to a business lunch, but it's still colorful and fun!
Styling Details: Dress/Blazer(similar)/Vintage Purse + Scarf/Red Heels(similar)
Layering a longer skirt over a shorter dress is something we do often in 3 Ways To Wear It. This styling works especially well with this dress because the top is so cute on it's own! I love the bold white collar against an all black styling. A scarf as a belt is another quick trick to get a belt in a color you may not own.
Styling Details: Dress/Scarf as Belt/Skirt(vintage)/Bag/Clogs
This last styling is classic and easy. I love layering cardigans because this time of year it's easy to get hot and cold often! The knotted scarf is fun to wear and these brown heels will match just about any outfit this season!
Styling Details: Dress/Cardigan/Scarf/Shoes
Fun! It's been fun sharing these posts! I can't wait till next week when the collection finally launches on ModCloth! I'll be back soon with more details. xo. elsie

This dress is by far my favorite piece in your new collection. Love it!
I love the little house prints on the dress. It turns it from a plain black dress, to a quirky, fun one.

#1 and #3 i love
#3 my favorite (:
As soon as I saw this dress in the original debut I ONLY though…Katie! It really is made for her. #3 is perfect! #2 would make me look like I’ve been going off the deep end with pumpkin doughnuts. 😉
so stylish! love the hair too!!
my favorite from the collection! Katie looking super gorgeous – as usual.
Beautiful design. I love this dress! And, side question, how does katie manage to keep her hair so vibrant all the time? I love it! I’m also a redhead, but, as I get older my natural color is fading, and dyes also seem to fade so quickly. Any secrets to keeping that rock’n color?
OH how I love this dress! Each of these looks is fantastic and so small-towny cute!

Aaaaw, love the little house <3 Beautiful dress! I don't know which style I love the most!! 😀
Totally drooling over those T Strap red hasbeens…
I am absolutely in love with this dress!
This one is by far my favorite of all 🙂
Elsie, thanks sooooooo much re: info on red clog brand — I found them way reduced in price and in my size (and my size only — boat feet!) @ Piperlime after seeing your response! Happy dance …!!
These looks are just spot on brilliant. I love everything about them and the detail. Her red hair is just lovely.
Good work!
The dress is ADORABLE in each style. I honestly can’t pick a favorite. But those red shoes… THOSE SHOOOES! I’d die for a pair like that.
love the last way, this dress is super sweet!
Woww… good piece of work, i really liked the idea of house on dress no 1 n 3. And no 3 model is also cool..
