I don’t wear this dress often enough:
Although it (well, I) didn’t photograph at all well today, it really is quite flattering. Last time I wore it with the obvious black accents. This time I wanted to switch it up and paired the dress (vintage, thrifted) with a snake print skinny belt (Target?), taupe wedges (Bamboo via TJ Maxx), my new favorite bangle and chunky red necklace (gifted – thanks, Ma!).
I think I like this iteration better than the last time I wore it. Although, last time did include an owl belt, and that’s saying something, today’s outfit just seems more interesting to me somehow. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is, but think it might be the mismatched but still complimentary accessories. They make what is a fairly prim and proper dress into something different. Either that or I’m not getting enough sleep. One of the two.
Today’s Takeaway? Get plenty of sleep – otherwise it can be difficult to judge the effectiveness of your accessories.
Happy Wednesday, Everyone!
I really like the print on that dress!
ReplyDeleteI saw the dress and immediately went "Ohhhhh, that's so pretty!" before I read your text. So much for it not photographing well, Gracey. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat is the detailing around the neckline like? The print makes it hard to tell if it's sort of folded back or a V-neck or a surplice-type thing.
This dress is an absolute knockout! I mean, seriously. That dress is absolutely divine.
ReplyDeleteAgree! That dress is just gorgeous on you. All the extra touches are perfect too.
ReplyDeleteI love it. I've really been drawn to neutral black and tan or black and cream patterns lately and this one is splendid!
ReplyDeleteEffective! I Love this...you look fabulous in this printed dress.

Steffys Pros and Cons
what a dress! do you know the era it is from? I'd wear that every day for like a month.
ReplyDeleteI really like the pop of color that the necklace adds to this. The rest of your accessories are totally complimentary to the dress, so the necklace really stands out. I like it!
ReplyDeleteI really like this dress too-- I'm really curious about the neck too.
ReplyDeleteSleep or no sleep, if you hand't pointed it out I wouldn't have taken notice. I think you look just lovely:)
ReplyDeletexo, f
No you do not! So beautiful...*sigh*
ReplyDeleteSo, you know that chic little black dress you have from K Mart? I sort of fell in love with it on your blog and ordered it, and it was so amazing, I ordered another for backup! It just might be the most perfect lbd of all time.
This is really a gorgeous print. I am loving the neckline!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the print.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that print, and the cute neckline detail!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun dress! I think you should wear it more, lady. (:

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold the phone, Gracey, this looks great. The way it matches with the shoes, the red of the necklace--everything. Out. Of. The. Park.
