I’m a big fan of an outfit that’s simple, yet interesting, and I’m always seeking out ways to be simultaneously dressed up and down.  Sneakers are a surefire way to dress any look down, of course, but a ribbed sweater over a drop-waist dress allowed the pleat detailing to shine, creating a casual balance that works for weekend or midweek.
