Paisley Chiffon Dress / Black Leather Boots (more black boots)/ Burgundy Clutch (similar) / Sunglasses / Lip Sheer in Plum  / Earrings and Custom Cuff by Julianna LeBlanc

A few weeks ago I shared my favorites from the Olivia Palermo Collection for Banana Republic.  I went directly to the store and snagged this black paisley dress.  It is even more gorgeous in person!  I have a few events coming up and will be wearing this to one of them.

This dress is so versatile that you could also dress is down a bit with a leather jacket as it gets cooler or simply carry a great tote like this or this for daytime which is how I’ll wear it to church or during the week when I need to dress up a bit. For size reference, I’m wearing a Petite XS.

I’ve styled it here with my new stovepipe black leather boots and my favorite burgundy clutch.  I seriously have an obsession with this color handbag.  I’ve needed a new pair of black boots for two years and just couldn’t pull the trigger.  Everything was too embellished or too casual.  These are so beautiful and classic, I couldn’t resist.  The block heel makes them super easy to wear.

Hope you are having a relaxing Monday because of a long weekend.  If not, think of me next week when you do! Here’s to a great short week because they really are the best.
