Blue Camouflage Dress

Hi friends,

Wrap dresses are very practical! I am a huge fan of them! Huge! Most of my work dresses are wrap dresses. My favorite brand is BCBG. I buy them at the BCGB stores, at the BCBG Outlet stores, Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, and Macy’s. I also have a few other brands, such as Banana Republic and Ann Taylor. Saks and Saks Off 5th also carry multiple other brands (at reasonable prices). I like them for multiple reasons:

1- They are timeless

2- They are easy to wash, I wash them at home in the gentle cycle with Woolite and lay them flat to dry

3- The material does not fade easily (so they last for a long time)

4- The work well for my curvy body type because they emphasize the waistline (they actually work for all body types)

5- They are made of stretchy material and the waistline is adjustable, so they work for me, if I gain 5 pounds or lose 5 pounds, I just loosen or tighten the waistline straps!

6- They can be worn year-round – alone or with a cardigan, jacket, or pashmina/scarf, with boots, sandals, tights or alone.

7- They can be dressed up or down – with dressy or casual accessories, heels or flats. So, I can wear them for work, to accompany my husband to business dinners, cocktail parties, and casual occasions.

8- They are practical for travel. They aren’t bulky and don’t take much space in the luggage. They don’t wrinkle easily.

So, I have many dresses in this style and love them!

This one I call the “Blue Camouflage” dress. I wore it to host an interview once and one of the engineers at the television station told me it looked like blue camouflage. And bam, the dress got it’s name, haha!

This dress is wonderful because I can wear it year-round. The blue on the waistline emphasizes my waistline and of course, black is always flattering. It is a fun dress to wear – and the print is not too busy for television, so it also works for the shoots I have at work.

I wore it recently to attend the Grand Opening of El Agave Restaurant in Del Mar. It is comfortable, I wore it all day for work (with a different par of shoes and a business jacket), then to take these Outfit of the Day pictures (changed shoes), and to the event. It was a long day – and thankfully, I was comfortable all day long! Hope you like the look!

Do you have any wrap around dresses? Which is your favorite? Do you have a favorite brand? I’d love to hear from you.

Hugs,

Paola
