street ballet

For my Rule Breaking Lovelies,
Sunday was awesome and relaxing and I really took il bien far niente (the art of doing nothing) seriously. I practiced hard. I went for a 3-mile run in the morning when the air was cool and inviting. I took a nap and then went for a stroll. And, of course there was street ballet.

I funked up this outfit by turning the dress backwards. It makes the back more interesting and lets the belt stand out in the front.

Details:
Dress/Belt >>> Anthropologie
Shoes >>> Modcloth

These are the awesomest pictures!! I LOVE it!

I like the dress backward… no lie. I think that is one rule I have a very hard time doing….It seems so awkward. Was the tag in your way?

Never would have guessed that this was on backwards. I just found your blog through Clothed Much and I can not wait to read more. You’re too cute!

Awesome Idea. I have seen Hayden Panettiere do this before. You are first real person I see it. You are so pretty! :)

Wow these photos are amazing! And wearing the dress backwards was genius! You also styled it really well! Nice!

Nope, it was perfectly tucked in. I think the backward look has to be done with something that has an all-around neckline so when you flip it the neckline still sits nicely. But the design down the front and back gets flipped and depending on accessories you might create a neat look.
