Outfit of the Day: Eggplant Dress

Aside from my jeans and my new found love of leather pants, dresses have always been the original favorite. They are easy to throw on, they are a complete outfit, none of this trying to find a top to go with those bottoms or vise versa. 

I love the gathered fabric on the side. It graciously hides that afternoon belly that always pops up after lunch. Pairing this dress with a beaded and pearl necklace and accompanied pearl earrings, I can keep it casual with ballet flats or dress it up with heels.
