Lulu*s Vegan Leather Dress {similar in black} // J.Crew Sweater {similar} // BaubleBar Necklace // Target Loafers

I have been on the hunt for an affordable faux leather dress & this Lulu*s Vegan Leather Dress {which is now sold out, but find a similar version here} fit the bill. Before purchasing, I styled it {in my head} three different ways, more specifically to wear to the office. Once it arrived, I immediately brought my ideas to life! Here are just a few of the ways you can wear a cognac leather dress: layer with a sweater, over a button up, or just add a blazer!

Don't forget, tonight's the night! If you are in the Des Moines or Ames area and looking for a new boutique to check out, make sure to stop by Portobello Road for a fun evening of fashion and champagne! I can't wait to meet everyone and help styling all the amazing things housed within the walls of Portobello Road!
