So I actually like this outfit a lot. Simple, sweet, professional. Wrap dresses are phenomenal for practically any figure--provided they fit. I am not sure if you can tell from this picture, but the dress had a moderately full skirt. (When you go for this look, remember to check the length. If you are petite with a full skirt and nipped-in waist, it could look a bit off.)
Overall, in this case, very cute.
So, why you ask is she highlighted on this blog.
Very good question, my friend. Here it is: it's cute, but boring.
No color, no texture, no nothing. I am all for the NYC uniform, aka black, black and more black. But, I have to wonder sometimes if that becomes a fall back option rather than a fashion-forward decision. In this case, wouldn't a great bangle in that fantastic au courant lemon yellow, or maybe some fabulous red, pink, purple or even leopard print pumps set off her look. Heck, even some long gold chains (no, not Mr. T, but think something more refined) would really take it to the next level. However, if we choose a more modest pairing that won't shock, why not loose the lame belt that came with the dress and pair a wide, glossy black patent-leather belt with it. This is a fabulous option to maximize a tiny waist and create a gorgeous hour-glass figure.
Ladies, you know all this. You probably have these pieces in your closet already. It's spring time! Let's celebrate by adding a little color, a little texture, or maybe even some pattern.
