Doubled Up
Loeffler Randall Dress (last seen here), Forever 21 Dress, Vintage Belt, Prada Shoes
Turns out, you can only stay cooped up in an air conditioned apartment for so many hours before going a little stir crazy. I ventured out to see Inception (highly recommended), and since movie theaters are always exceedingly chilly, I doubled up with two dresses instead of pairing one of them with a thick sweater. Besides offering a bit of extra warmth, I love the idea of being able to layer, even in the dead of summer.

Saw Inception too–it hurt my dang brain, but an awesome watch. Love the belt and the idea of layering dresses. Super cute!

That belt is so great! Im in love with the side braid:) Have a fantastic Monday,sweetie and see you soon:)
Ahh…you look g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s like usual!!
Great idea for some warmth. Have been to see ‘Inception’ myself, INCREDIBLE.
Love your side braid.

this is such a good idea.
i always just end up bringing a blanket to a theater. totally tacky but it is always worth it!
is layering two dresses not uncomfortable? i think i would be forever pulling one down or twisting one back to the right place etc.

Love the 2 dresses!
Great idea layering two dresses! I’ve seen strapless dresses layered over t-shirts but I wouldn’t have thought to layer it over another dress. I guess that would also help eliminate the need for a slip if the top dress wouldn’t needed one.
This totally looks like one dress! You’re a style genius!
What a genius idea! I also love the side braids, they make a pretty do for summertime.

You pull it off so well! And LOVE the prada shoes!
Everyone’s raving about Inception–I better see it soon.

I’m glad we got to see a clear photo of that Forever 21 dress. I actually really wanted it when I first saw it on their website but it sold out SO QUICKLY. I love that you doubled it up too!
Wow! So gorgeous!
great idea!!

so cute! I think Im going to see the movie tomorrow, but it’s still way too hot to leave the house ever!
great idea – and nothing like a good dose of Leo – love him. ck

I love the photos, I’ve never really thought to layer dresses so this gives me great inspiration!

This outfit looks so romantic!!!
And the belt is just perfect…
How adorable! I have to test this outfit soon!
You’re a genius! <3
I’m not sure I could layer two dresses!
Anyway, I am glad inception was good – I am dying to see it – I am a big Leo fan!

Just clicked the back link to the white dress. Although I like what you have done here, I LOVE it on its own. Gorgeous!

cute outfit : )
I’m so glad to hear Inception is good, I’ve been really looking forward to seeing it.
You look cute but what about your poor legs! Weren’t they cold
I always take my big ole pashmina to the movies. It’s the only time I’ve ever cold in Thailand!
The dresses together are gorgeous! As are you. You’ve inspired me to search through my closet for dresses I can layer together, thank you Emily
So pretty!
love you’r blog!
Greetings from Norway <3
Vintage belts are the best.
I love that you layered two dresses and they look like one lovely dress. The braid in your hair is super cute as well!
That’s such a cute outfit! I love the cut out detail on the white dress.

I would never had known that this is a layered outfit. Lovely!
I adore how you layered these. However in Wisconsin’s stifling humidity, wearing two dresses will have to wait until the temperature drops!

Great idea this “double dress”^^ If I find two dresses which matche together, maybe I ‘ll try^^
great idea!
love the vintage belt

great idea
love the vintage belt
That’s such a great idea – something I haven’t tried before. I don’t know if any of my dresses are big enough to slip over another because I like them to be on the tighter side, especially if they have a waist. Thanks for the idea… I think I’ll try it with a skirt

I love the mashup of textures and prints~both creative and insulated:) Movies and airplanes usually require head to toe layers for me…your neatly belted look is a much cuter look for date night!

I watched Inception too! I liked the way you did your braid and belt!
lovely! nice way of substituting a sweater by another layer of dress!

Good call on the doubling up – have we seen that white dress before?

Layering is something I miss during the summer. I can’t wait for it to get back to Fall and I can start to wear tights all over again!
Ps – I saw Inception as well and it was wonderful! Great movie.
Sooo cute! Great layering job! I try but I can’t pull it off too well, haha

I’ve been wanting to see that movie! i like that belt !
I love when an outfit comes together unexpectedly like this! One of my favorite looks ever was when I turned a long cotton skirt into a strapless dress, layered two tanks over it, and belted it at the middle. I got so many compliments that day, and yet the whole look was probably $50 total! PS: Definitely want to see Inception, and I heard City Island is great, too.
so pweeetty
Love the dress – and the belt is amazing!!

The buckle on that belt is amazing!
Love, love, love that combination of dresses! So sweet and fun!

ah, i know, i hate freezing my a$$ off in the theater!
What a gorgeous belt! Yes, why is it that movie theaters are always freezing cold?!? I find it odd that I need to bring a sweater when seeing a movie when it’s 90 degrees outside!
stop by my blogs!

I love this idea! I love a white dress in the summer against tan skin
I love the way you layered the shirt with the dress. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do that without looking bulky and ridiculous for a while!
Very nice belt
I love the belt. I agree, staying cooped up can be super nice, but going to a good movie can really complete the weekend. I wanted to see that movie. I remember the days when Leo was in romeo and juliet, I for sure had a crush on him and a poster in my room! HAHA. You can call me a dork

You look beautiful, Emily!!!

What a refreshing idea for a chilly day in the cinema during summer! I love your doubled up dressed dear. Very darling

Ooo – I have a black strapless, tulip skirt dress that I’ve been dying to try in this style. Do you think this could work for office attire (I’m seriously the worst judge of this ever!)?

LOVE LOVE LOVE the double up! That belt is incredible!

You look great! But I must admit, I am a serious shoe-aholic and the first thing I noticed were those amazing Prada shoes!!!

What a cute idea! J Crew has been layering skirts in their magazines, but I hadn’t thought about doing it with dresses. And I am beyond jealous that you saw Inception- it is at the top of my fun to-do list this week!
I love these 2 dresses together. Really pretty!SarahD:)
Super cute!
& gahh, that bet is awesome!
Adorable look! I’m going to have try layering some of my own dresses!

Great shoes.
Fantastic! it is great how you blog about fashion for the real world and still create beautiful and imaginative photography. I remember the underneath dress from last year and it inspired me to buy a similar one from asos and now I am inspired again. Thank you!

We at Harriet Magpie also love mixing and layering. We play with pairing textures and patterns too. Love that dress layered, and even over a white tank it would be cute and daytime as well. You could even dress it up for night but putting a black silk, lace or mesh tank on…

I heard that movie was really good too.
Loving this layering idea…super cute!

So sweet! We considered Inception but couldn’t decide if it would work for me. Does it violate my ghost rules? I know it doesn’t have ghosts, but it sounds kind of heavy on the supernatural.
this is a great outift!

I just painted my nails the same color. I swear by Essie. Love the mixture of lux items, and steals (: So cute!
Such a cute outfit! Love the belt.

Is it that chilly in theaters?

The boldness of your eyeliner color is beautiful. What color/ brand is that?
love the black dress
! and with the belt looks amazing
You are eternally inspirational. I follow your blog and hope mine is one day as fabulous as yours.
Great layering idea, I’ll have to try that … it might help make some of my dresses more work appropriate. Also, from what I can see of your shoes, they’re awfully cute .. hope you show them off again soon

I love the belt with that dress. The belt really stands out as an eye-catcher.

I must be having a hot flash well before my time because I saw Inception last night in shorts and a tank with a light cashmere sweater over top – and still felt warm. Ugh
Love the layers here. Very cute!
-Carrie
I love the print and bubble hem. The buckle of the belt is so unique too.
Check out my blog for inexpensive ideas for your wardrobe or home, with some celebrity gossip mixed in!
How funny that you posted this today. I saw a girl on the street wearing a top underneath her strapless dress today so she could pull it off at work. Great idea!
You look too cute, love that floral dress!
I love the contrast between the floral pattern strapless and the cut out detail of the Loeffler Randall dress.

I love this little outfit! The way you did your belt is just adorable and it’s quite cool that you layerd two dresses, sometimes a sweater can ruin a dress! I saw the movie too, it was so good!
much love

Love the dress! IDK how I feel about the layering… I think I’d prefer it without the white top.
Such a good idea, and perfect for movie theaters!

I love the stacked rings you are wearing here, and would love to see them closer! Where are they from?
