Coordinate practice: Dear Gray Dress

Happy Sunday :)

This time I choose to do coordinate practice with a dress I just finished. My last gasp of winter feeling :D hoping it will start feeling spring like (I live in the USA southwest so it's already like 50 degrees).

The gray and black of this dress play as neutrals and makes it open to lots of coordination options. Too many really XD I had to cut a few of my less favorites. This dress also has detachable pin back bows and waist ribbon so those provide a great way to suit the dress to whatever other items are in the outfit.
