La vie en couleur

What I finally wore: floral dress

August 10, 2012

I stepped outside today after SO long! Even though I just went grocery shopping with my husband, I decided to wear one of my summer dresses because they have just been languishing in the closet.

This isn't my favourite out of all the dresses I bought this season, since the bodice tends to look a bit creased and crumpled after a bit. On the other hand, it is very airy and comfortable, cost just 17 euros and is fully lined cotton! Considering all those postives, I don't mind the creasing too much.

What do you think? :)

    Are you kidding me? It's gorgeous! You're gorgeous! I can't see any creasing in this photo, and I suspect the print would camouflage it well in any event.

    Sensational!! (I'm spying my favorite red flats...) ;)

    Thanks JR! Actually you can't see it, but the bodice rides up a bit and creases and bunches under the bust. I am possibly being a bit too neurotuc but I think this is okay for casual wear :)

    Thanks shabbychick! And yep, they went perfectly with the dress :)

    Loveliness along with the cute red ballet flats and aqua bangle!

    I think this dress is great!1 It looks terrific on you and with the red ballet flats it is so fresh looking!! You look great, even just grocery shopping, that still counts as going out, ::)

    Gorgeous! I really love how the floral pattern consist of bright colours instead of a paler palette and that goes so well with your style too,

    Congrats on getting outside again. It is so frustrating to be "locked" inside for such a time!

    Wow! This is so fantastic. I don't notice any creasing. You look so beautiful in this dress. Looks far pricier than 17 euros.

    Thanks texstyle and Vicki :-)

    Thank you Ginny! I agree 100%!

    Thanks harmonica! Yes, I am so glad to be out and about :-)

    Thank you Denise! Glad the photos don't show the creasing ;-) and it is actually well made for being so inexpensive, with a lining!

    You look fab, and that is one of the cutest dresses I've ever seen. Perfect with the flats, good job!

    What a great summer dress! The colors are gorgeous on you. Glad you're feeling well enough to be out and about!

    you look beautiful in this dress.

  • catgirl replied 11 years ago

    Well, whatever is supposedly going on with your bust and creasing, you look out of this world fab! I love the shape of this dress on you especially - you must seek out more!

    This is sensational on you. Seriously wonderful. The scoop neckline is super flattering. You have the arms for a sleeveless look. The skirt has a retro feel. It's altogether wonderful.

  • Kirti replied 11 years ago

    Thanks Shannon and Julie :-)

    KathyL: Thanks! I am ecstatic to be out and about again!

    Thank you shedev :-)

    Una: Aww thanks! I agree that this fit and flare style does suit me, I will keep a lookout for more.

    Suz: Thanks and I love your breakdown of all the elements that work. Something to keep in mind when I shop!
