I wanted to wear this little white linen top but none of my skirts felt very inspiring so I randomly threw it on over this dress. And discovered that the lower band of the top is close to exactly the same circumference as the dress at this point; meaning that when I am wearing them together like I am here, it appears not like two separate items but like a complete dress in itself.
It's like I've discovered a whole new item of clothing in my wardrobe!!
Score!
