I've worn this dress from Chadwick's twice -- and not been all that happy about how the outfit turned out each time. See for yourself: here & here.
Sometimes we need expand our view and step back from our style choices to get a different perspective of a particular garment. This was one of those times for me. I saw the blues in this dress and originally just thought blue cardi or jacket to go with it. Although I did use brown for the accessories, for whatever reason I felt compelled to repeat or pick up the blues in the other layers I chose.
But since the brown boots worked so well, and since I really hated both sweaters with it the other times I wore it, I decided to go for my tried & true brown cardigan and see what happened. It worked MUCH better and this is the best incarnation of the outfit yet, IMO -- don't you think so?
The beaded necklaces & bracelets are from a dollar store, the brown boots are Target. The cardigan is Paul Richards from Macy's and the belt was thrifted. The ring was actually a quarter at a local garage sale.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Totally perfect. Aren't you glad you didn't chuck the dress?
The blues really suit you, and the dress is great on you. I don't really wear a lot of blue, just not a colour I gravitate towards.
I agree the dress really does work now and the blues are lovely.
I've had the same thoughts for some of my outfits, but now I'm inspired to keep trying. I think you've hit on a great combination for this dress. I like the way the sweater's waist gives you a waistline right at the belt (which is great, too). And if I haven't said it before: great deal for the necklaces at the Dollar Store, they look fab w/this outfit.
I love blue and brown together, one of my fav color combinations, both for outifts, and interior design! You have fab jewelry as always. Such great finds! I love that ring.
