I certainly had fun with the “Blouse Over Dress Challenge” and I hope you did too.

Here are some great examples for some Friday inspiration:

1-April killed it with her sweater/dress combo. Check out her fantastic blog here.

2. Karen’s outfit looks incredibly comfy and is nursing mom friendly.

3. Kate’s outfit has a fantastic pop of orange. See more pics of her outfit here.

4. Lisa’s uses the fantastic animal print and my favorite turquoise color.

5. And Tania was so rad and came up with TWO super cute outfits.

Have a great Friday!

It’s hard to believe that Fall is here already. Especially round these parts where cool weather feels like it’ll never come. To kick start this wonderful season of holidays, cinnamon smelling things, pumpkin everything, sweaters, boots and more, I thought we’d have a little challenge.

Wearing a blouse or shirt over a dress is a great way to not only add layers, but it’s also a perfect way to mix textures and/or patterns. Plus, it might help you get out a fashion rut or find a new use for some articles of clothing you’ve had hanging in your closet for a long time.

I want you to put together an outfit with a blouse, shirt or vest over a dress over the next two weeks and email me a picture of your lovely self at thegirlwiththesmileblog@gmail.com. If you’re okay with me sharing your creation, I’ll be posting readers awesome outfits on Friday, October 3rd, 2014. If you’d like, you could also take a pic and post it on instagram and hashtag it #blouseoverdresschallenge.

I can’t wait to see what you come up with!!! 🙂
