alice+olivia

If you look at my last few posts, you would think green is my favorite color. It's not. Actually, when it comes to clothes, I don't have a favorite color unless grey counts. 

Anyway, I've had this ALICE + OLIVIA dress for years and this is only my second time wearing it...and it might be my last. I think it's a lovely dress but as I get older, I try to stay away from girly-girly dresses. I attempted to bring a bit sophistication to the look with the strappy heels and the black coat, but it might be time to let her go. What do you guys think?

wearing: ALICE + OLIVIA dress (MORE MY SPEED), benetton coat, thrifted belt, necklace from macy's PRADA HEELS

    Hmmm. I like it! But if it doesn't suit your tastes anymore it may be time to let it go :-).

    Mission accomplished: A sophisticated look. I would continue to wear the dress and think of other things to pair it with to make it look less 'girly'. Oh, those fall leaves and your feet seem to be best friends. (lol)

    I don't think it's bad, but I know how it is to veer away from a certain look. I think the slick coat and heels do add that sophistication your look for though. Well pulled off I think!

    ...btw ma'am, would you consider taking the word verification thing off the comment form?It makes it quite cumbersome to leave comments on your blog. :-)

    I truly don't think this Alice + Olivia dress is girly-girly...at all. In fact, the way you styled it shows how versatile it can be. I wished it was in my size so that you can let it go...and it'll come in my direction. lolol.
