My friend from work says I may be being too hard on myself but this is not working. Particularly the shoes. They are a little 80's pair that look retro with skinny jeans and a fun top. But with this wrap dress they just look 10 years out of fashion. Plus, wrap dresses are supposed to give you shape and this one does NOT. I think I need about 3 inches taken off the bottom. An above the knee length may make this more fun and less dowdy. But for today - Epic Fail.

This reminds me - I do actually need a fashion forward pair of black work shoes. Like a nice mary jane or a peep toe....all I have are open toe sandals for summer. I feel a mission coming on.
I am a closet case.
A terrible shopper who spent $15,000 last year on clothes that are just short of boring. I'm over it.
I'm starting this blog to re-learn how to shop. I want to spend way less money on way better clothes. Establish my own style. Kick my junkie-like addiction to Banana Republic basics.
I think there are a lot of women out there like me, who might enjoy reading this and get something out of it. The rest of you...feel free to point and laugh.
Hmm....You do look a little dowdy here. I personally hate that kind of heel on shoes because they remind me of my third grade teacher. blech. The dress is fab, but agreed it's too long. This outfit could have used a pop of color--yellow ballerina flats maybe, or an orange cardigan? It's too mono. BTW--are you wearing HEELS in an AIRPORT??? Amazon.
ReplyDeleteGood call on the pop of color. I'm going to get it hemmed and try again...then do a side by side comparison.
