outfit post: navy colorblock sheath, black pointed toe pumps, gold link necklace

Inspiration - Banana Republic

This is basically the exact same outfit as this post - minus the jacket.

I've been on the hunt for a sheath dress for awhile now (from reader questions - I'll share some more on my shopping habits & how I pick items to 'be on the hunt for' tomorrow) and was having trouble finding a sheath dress whose cut in the midsection didn't give me a 5 month preggers belly bulge. I think my mistake was I kept looking for dresses with ruching or slight pleat in the middle thinking that would camouflage my tummy when instead it emphasized it. I like this one because it sorta skims my stomach making appear flatter then it actually is. My kind of helpful dress!
