17 May Turning Heads #Linkup- Trending Off the Shoulder Floral Dress
Hello Ladies,
I wanted to title this: My Off The Shoulder-Dont-Care-If -I’m-Older-Dress, but decided to keep it simple! 🙂
I debated about whether I should post my military jacket neutral look today or yesterday, Monday. I like to share the various styles and looks that are fun for me and my interest in wearing a ruched style in a striped dress, fitted military jacket and cargo pants, white jeans with metallic slips ons or today’s trendy look with the off the shoulder floral dress. I have also been buying a few more pairs of pants I have deemed comfortable enough for me to wear, and ones I have been eyeing, the straight ankle trouser. So, if you haven’t seen the variety of looks, check out the links above.
This is a dress I have had for years from Loft. Seems what goes around comes around. At the time I purchased, the off the shoulder look was popular. It has come back in trend and is a favorite of mine, as it is as comfortable as any nightgown I would wear, but more appropriate for the public! I kept the look pretty simple as the eye is drawn to the shoulders. Way back when I remember wearing choker necklaces and I might have worn one with this style. You remember when chokers were popular? I kept the look a bit simple today with green 1928 drop earrings and my JORD maple wooden watch as accessories.
I had several choices for handbags, but decided to style it with my lilac Coach bag to compliment the colors in the dress, such as navy and pale pink. I am wearing my Jambu Sugar sandals in Champagne/Mocha as I love a gladiator style with this dress and as I have mentioned these are like wearing sneakers. I am a fan of the off-the-shoulder trend and hope to find a few tops and dresses soon to add to my wardrobe.

Posted at 10:05h, 17 MayVery pretty dress, Jess! I just love that it is something you’ve owned and is now back on trend.
Tiina L
Posted at 10:03h, 17 MayIt’s a beautiful dress, and your signature florals, too. And I’m glad you decided to drop ‘even though you’re over 40’ bit because that has nothing to do with anything. I think if you’re stylish in your 20’s, you will be stylish in your 90’s, too. And I think we bloggers have a role to play in making stylish women of all ages (and shapes and sizes) seem more mainstream and less of an oddity.
jess jannenga
Posted at 12:06h, 17 MaySo true! Tiina I agree with you wholeheartedly! I wear what I like and what I think fits/;looks flattering regardless of my age. Thank you for the compliment as well. XX

Posted at 09:22h, 17 MayWow…I can’t believe you’ve had this dress for that long. I didn’t realize the off the shoulder style was popular then—I was probably living under a rock (or working—same thing). Can you wear it so the sleeves are on top of your shoulders too?
thanks for hosting, Jess

Posted at 12:05h, 17 Mayha! Yes, I think it was good I kept it! Yes you can wear it both ways, on top of the shoulder or over the shoulders, one thing I like about the dress too. I am on the hunt for some OTS tops too. Enjoy your week! xx
