Hi Friends!
As I was doing some sourcing to find Fall 2023 outfit ideas for our lipedema community, I made the mistake of looking at the Kohl’s clearance rack down the street. I couldn’t resist this dress, which was on sale for $15, even though it’s short sleeved, and really more of a midi length than a maxi length, which is of course, my go to.
I decided to style this dress a few ways, starting from, “hey, I’ve just gotten out of the shower but I need to wear clothes to check the mail,” all the way to, “I’m the boss, and I’m having a cocktail party right now!”
While I don’t know that you’ll find this exact dress at your local Kohls (I’m not sponsored by them, by the way), here’s a link to the dress so you can get the details. I bought it in a 3x and I usually wear a size 24w.
Look #1: I seriously didn’t even try.
Look #2: Brunch with someone that I want to keep as a friend!
Look #3: Styled for needing to get stuff done, but out of the house
Look #4: Yeah, I could wear this to work.
Look #5: Boss BABE. SOOOO much sleeker with black compression and shoes. BOOM!
This took the same amount of effort as the other looks (OK not #1), but just picking the right colors and accessories really turned this red dress into a bomb outfit.
It’s amazing what you can do with a simple dress if you just put a little effort into your look. If you don’t already own some red, here are some ideas from Amazon.
Here’s the compression and black shoes that I have on (note these shoes are wide but not extra deep, so they hurt my feet.)
Have a great day, and if you sport some red, drop me a line with your pic and I’ll post it on my socials!
Susan
