So it begins. Isn’t that first week back after the holidays the worst? I mean, we actually have to work 5 days in a row! Plus I’ve got volleyball leagues starting so that means using muscles I haven’t used since summer. With all that, you can bet I’m going to dress as comfy as possible for work. This plaid swing dress fits the bill. The long sleeves keep me warmer and make layering with a vest a breeze. The swing cut hides the food baby that I am still carrying around from the holidays. Plus it is a relatively blank slate so I can mix and match jewelry and scarves with ease. Swing/trapeze cut dresses are starting to become my favorite kind of dress!

Cute outfit! I really like the pop of blue you paired with the look, very pretty!
Thank you Cara!
I love swing dresses! They’re the best and so versatile. Love how you styled it!
Thanks Greta! They really are the best!
Getting up today and getting back to the daily routine was definitely rough today, so I feel you! Love, love, love this swing dress! I can’t pull off swing dresses, but I absolutely love the way they look on people who can! Happy New Year!

It is a fantastic dress. I’ll be pairing it with a scarf next as well.
My friend also styled this same swing dress on her new fashion blog and i loved the dress but my Old Navy didn’t have it – so sad. Swing dresses are so tough for me to wear because I feel like a big sak, but now I feel like this dress is taunting me haha. 😉
It totally is 🙂 I ended up having to order mine online because my store didn’t have it. Plus it is usually cheaper online as well.
I am having a major moment with plaid lately. I love how subtle the plaid print is on your dress!
I’m loving plaid too. The subtle print is really what drew me in with this one, it isn’t as bold as most of my plaid 🙂
Great swing dress. I don’t own one but the more I see them the more I like them. Perfect pops of blue!
They really are great. But the one con is you almost have to try them on to see if the fit is right.
Such a cute plaid swing dress! I love it!! The first Monday after a holiday break is always tough so I feel ya on that!!

Thanks Laura! I think the hardest day of this week will be Thursday. How is there still more work week left?!
Oh I love this swing dress! I feel like I need to purchase that black you posted at the bottom as well- like right now.
That black one is really cute! Perfect blank canvas.
I love that dress!
Thank you Tayler! It is fantastic.
I DO love a good swing dress and the pretty yet neutral print of yours is perfect!
Thanks! Swing dresses are seriously the best.
What a beautiful swing dress! Also loving your layered necklace to dress it up a little!
