Yesterday for church I wore my LND ( Little Navy Dress and a navy open cardi for a topper. It is sort of versions of Angie’s #1 (metallic flats but dress is not tiered) and #4 ( it is a shift dress. Sort of a sack dress but hem is not assymetrical.). The dress is not quite sleeveless. It has small cap grown-on sleeves. Dress and cardi are EF from about 4 years ago. Gold espedrilles are Marc Fisher last year. I chose a bag with gold chain shoulder strap and gold hoop earrings and gold bracelets. I will try to add Finds later from desk top or iPad.

Suntiger, we have cool spring but not winter. I am more than ready to bring long sleeved and light jackets to the front of the closet. Nights still often are in the 30’sF so a topper of some sort is needed most of the day. I may just run cold post menopause because DH is warm. It is definitely not summer yet.
Thank you Column and Inge for your kind words. -

Torontogirl, I can’t wait to see your version of LND.
Suz, you too. Show us how you do it.
Thank you , Shevia. I could do the same accessories with a LBD but would like to try my black leather jacket for a topper. -

Wow, this is beautiful, Joy! You look fantastic! Super modern and stylish!

Kellygirl, I am glad you approve of this outfit. The loose dress is easy to wear and forgiving of lumps and is swishy. I like EF’s lantern shape dress best because it has more structure on its own without a topper.
