From weekdays to weekends with Karen Kane - Part I

{Showing: Left | Middle | Right}

This week, I am teaming up with Karen Karen to show you 3 looks that will take you effortless from weekdays to weekends. Karen Kane is a relatively new brand to me. If you are a longtime follower of this blog, you know I am always on the lookout to try new brands. Can't really remember the last time I actually bought something from typical mall stores. 

What I am wearing:

Dress: Karen Kane faux wrap dress c/o - size XS

Shoes: Charles by Charles David
Sunglasses: Toms Sandela sunglasses
Earrings: Chanel (similar, similar)
Bag: J.Crew (similar, similar)

For an office-appropriate look, I picked out this wrap dress. I am a huge fan of wrap dresses. This is the fourth one I own. They're just so easy to wear and make me feel instantly polished. As far as sizing goes, I would say it's very similar to Ann Taylor regular sizing. Karen Kane does offer plus sizes but unfortunately, no petite sizes. All pieces featured here are in regular sizes. Hence, they were just a tad big on me throughout. 

The overall 38" body length went well past my knees (I am 5'2"). Again, this dress was designed for a regular-height frame. I took off 4 inches from the hem to balance out the proportion. Other than the length, no other alterations required. The gathered part of the dress hits right at my waistline. I also like the fact that it's a faux-wrap dress so I don't have to mess with the ties. Shoulder to shoulder = 15". Fabric contains 95% viscose 4% spandex. Made in the USA. All in all, this dress is sophisticated, flattering and is a great staple to my closet.
