I saw this dress in the window at Red Pony, and I had to try it on right away. Lucky for me, it fit perfectly. Very lucky, considering it was NWT, and only $30. For someone who loves florals as much as I do, this one was a no-brainer. And, of course, I couldn’t wait to wear it. Since I was wearing it to work, I had to throw on a blazer. But, look — still cute (and now, office appropriate):

I love how easy it is to accessorize bright prints like this one; there are so many options. The sage bag and jade shoes were a nice, non-matching but non-clashing option. These J. Crew Dulci pumps are quickly becoming favourites, and I really wish I had bought them in more colours when I found them on sale. I’m afraid to look online to see how much they cost regularly… #sadface.

As for the dress, I’m not super familiar with the New York & Co. brand, but judging from what I’ve seen online, they have a ton of cute dresses in this “scuba-like” material in a variety of lovely prints, and reasonably priced. I will be keeping my eye open for more, both on eBay and consignment stores. One can never have too many loud florals, after all.

  1. This is a great dress for you: colourful florals in a professional style. That hem length is just about perfect, right? 🙂

  2. That dress is absolutely gorgeous on you! The black band at the bottom makes the black blazer look like it was originally meant to be styled like that.

  3. Can I ask your size in NY and Co? I find they run large, so I tend to avoid them, but this dress is making me think otherwise! Super cute look 🙂
