I am a huge fan of long sleeved dresses. I am sure that has something to do with cold Colorado winters and chilly Spring/Autumn nights. I cannot count the times that I wanted to wear a dress (or needed to) and then spent forever trying to figure out what cardigan matched best or what coat to wear. Where as with a long sleeved dress, you are good to go! If it is Winter, add the fleece lined leggings or tights, if it is Spring/Autumn go with bare legs.
I am always on the lookout and this Shabby Apple dress is the newest long sleeved dress in my collection. In fact, I am packing it with me for my Washington DC work trip this week – I think it is Capital Hill material. This dress is perfect for the office or a fun date night which makes me love it even more. You know that I am all about versatility!
Wow this dress is absolutely lovely, and I have to say that although I never really thought about it before, I am loving the long sleeves too! The material gives this dress a very vintage Jackie-O feel but somehow the long sleeves make it feel modern. And this location is so beautiful – those tiles on the stairs are just stunning. Where is this?

You are beautiful, Bethy! Love this dress on you. So classy!
This dress is wonderful! Totally great for work!
I'm a HUGE Shabby Apple fan, and the Belinda is a fave. It looks great on you, and it's totally D.C. appropriate. Hope your work trip goes well!
This dress is lovely! I've always eyed Shabby Apples dresses but have never actually purchased one. Do you like the quality?
Love this dress! I agree, it's very Capitol Hill (and very Claire Underwood, in a good way!). It's nice to have a winter option that doesn't require a cardigan.
Oohh, like this dress! You could totally model for Shabby Apple 🙂 I'm always looking at dresses on their site, but have never purchased from them…yet!
Love this look! I have been in that same situation and never quite am pleased with the dress/cardigan combination. It really is difficult to find long sleeved dresses!
Yes totally!
This dress is adorbs! I've been craving a lot of long sleeved dressed lately. Got a lot of fall weddings coming up and very sick of dress/cardi combo. I'm definitely gonna have to give them a look!
