back to school

carolina engman dvf dress

BLACK. Loving every second of this late summer weather we’ve been enjoying for the past couple of days, especially the evenings when you can throw on a jacket but still go bare legged, perfect! This little black dress has been my go-to item lately as it’s so simple to dress up and down for different occassions. For this look I decided to play around with some layering and added a sleeveless white shirt underneath the dress (super easy way to update a dress or sweater) + a black leather vest on top to add some shape!

Spiced things up a bit with this fun little leopard bag from DVF!
