This outfit is a little different than the usual. I don’t usually wear pieces that are revealing or too skin-bearing. My style is pretty classic and showing skin always makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I don’t know why but it just does. {Do you feel this way?} When I saw this dress though I couldn’t resist. The longer maxi length makes it a little more acceptable to show a little skin on the sides I think. And if not in summertime than when? The dress has a dramatic quality that I think is fun for day or night. Plus, gray is always a good choice! I paired the dress with this leather jacket and was surprised at how comfortable I felt in the look. It was a nice change and a good reminder that it’s good to break out of your shell every once in a while!
