Wednesday -- Ally

Who's pumped about it being officially Spring? I know the weather will still be cold and rainy, but I'm SO GLAD this long winter is almost over.

Dress: Old Navy

Cardigan: Old Navy

Lisa Simpson necklace: slutty teen store in the mall

Shoes: Michael Kors











I look awfully wrinkly for someone who's just starting her day, huh? I'm going to blame the dog and all the required morning snuggle-time she demands.

One of the guys at work mentioned how colorful I am today and I told him, "HELLO, It's Spring!!!" :) MEN! haha

I'm in love with this dress and while not the most flattering, I feel like I'm wearing my PJs. I also like how the straps are adjustable and I can wear normal-height shoes w/out it dragging the ground.

The dress:
Women: Women's Smocked Jersey Maxi Dresses - Atomic Purple

The cardi:
Women: Women's Ruffled Cardigans - Green Light

The shoes:

I love these long maxi dresses on other people--I dont have the patience for them for myself but I think they are darling!

Christina said...

Love the dress!

You make me giggle every time you say 'slutty teen store in the mall'. I don't know why I find that so freaking funny.

I really got into maxi dresses last summer. I own five and already bought a new one from NY&Co before it was out of the 40's here! I always thought they'd look terrible on me because I'm so short, so I was pleasantly surprised when I actually tried one on and it actually looked pretty good! It's just like wearing your pajamas all.day.long. <3

Those dresses are great! I couldn't decide if I was going to wear my to work, but after seeing you wear it to work, I decided that if it's good enough for Ally, it's good enough for me!

How can you resist something so comfy? You cannot. That is the answer.

Love your brilliant smile in that brilliant sunshine, lady.

You look lovely today, I love that dress. I have been wanting one, I feel like it would be more comfy than pjs, it's long a flowy what more could you ask for. Green and purple looks great on you.

Kelly said...

oh man. I saw that cardi on the ON website the other day and wanted it. Seeing it on you makes me want it even more!!

I love this color combo, btw.

Beth said...

I have that same dress in the same color!!! What fabulous taste you have ;)

oy vey. I wanted this dress. I loved it. I tried it on and it did BAD things to my girls. BAD. How do you look so cute and we have similar bodies?
Did you have to hem it at all?

You look super cutie! I love maxi dresses on others, but the one and only I have I keep as a swim suit cover up. Also, I adore the color combo!

E said...

Oh my, you look so happy! I'm so happy you're happy! And I would like to borrow that dress and cardigan, please. Pretty, pretty please.

Ally said...

Oh my gosh, ladies! Thanks so much!! I wish I could run and buy them in every color but Old Navy is OUT. Can you believe it??

Hillary - I'm not sure why the dress was wonky on you - I do know I went down a size as an experiment (that worked) and cinched the straps almost all the way (thanks for adjustable straps, ON!) and while it fits nicely, it is NOT okay unless I have a sweat over it. It's a boob show for sure!

Don't be afraid of the long dress, shrimpy gals! I'm almost 5'3 and I think they look fine.

Boutique Girl said...

Wow - You look fab. This look is a winner on you! Love colour combo - you like very Spring!
