Round two for this thrifted dress. I love how summer dresses need so little tweaking to change up the whole vibe. If you don't remember, this is the gladiator dress. It photographed really dark before, but it's actually navy blue, which I prefer since it's not so harsh against my skin.
This dress was a good investment. It's so SO comfortable, and I can tell that even in the heat, this will surely keep me cool. I'm slightly tempted to hem it just a wee bit to keep the proportions from looking so ... dragged down. I don't know what I'm trying to say, but I just think it could be modernized with a little tiny bit of tailoring. What do you think?
These pictures were a second attempt in a second location after a long day, so my head scarf is doing the slip and slide on my head. A reasonable outcome when it comes to freshly washed, baby fine hair, I guess.

I love the way you've styled it this time. Everything from the headscarf to the wooden bangles just work so well!
ReplyDeleteYup, loved this dress before and still love it :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you tied your scarf!
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf. This is an easy brezy outfit...I will have to concur that shortening it just a wee bit will but a subtle touch:)
ReplyDeleteThis is REALLY CuTe! Love the gypsy vibe, and those shoes rock! I have to get me a pair o' those :D
ReplyDeleteHey, come visit me sometime, lol ;)

I love your scarf! I think the length on the dress is quite flattering on you.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time I've seen a head scarf today and I love how many ways my fellow fashion bloggers rock them! (You especially!) Ima have to go get me one!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely $3 well spent! And I think the length is great, but if it'll get more wear shorter, hem it.
ReplyDeleteI am certain a little tailoring would look wonderful on you. That said, I really love this length. It seems to be lacking in a lot of the blogs I read. Skirts are either super short or flowy and long. This length has it's own special brand of sex appeal.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty way to wear a scarf. I like the combo with the side braid.
ReplyDeleteHem it -- if you don't love it, you can rip it out, and I think a tiny bit of hemming might make a huge difference.
ReplyDeleteI love the headscarf look. Mine always falls off, slips, never stays as cool as when I put it on -- so I only wear one occasionally on the weekends. It really makes this outfit, though.
Oooooo, I LOVETH the scarf as a head wrap!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome!
