Multi Seasonable Fashion: The Dress

It's no secret that I'm a huge lover of a good dress. What is a secret is that I am a bit thrifty and love versatile pieces that I can wear regardless of which season it is. I was recently sent a dress from the beauties over at Simply Be and was thrilled to see that it was such a versatile dress.

This has a nude underlay with a lace overlay, fluted sleeves and a silver zip top fastening detail to the front. It is pretty short which for me is ideal for summer when I want to bare my legs to keep cool and ideal for winter where I could don a pair of thick tights and a necklace.
Normally, fussy sleeves just aren't my thing but the sleeves on this are fitted until below the elbow and then flare out into a bell shape.

I can see this dress being ideal for everything from nights out with the girls to summer holidays.
What would you team this dress with to switch it up? I'm thinking brogues, a backpack and a half up half down topknot. What do you think?
