Dark Floral

As you’ve probably gathered, I’m not much of an Old Navy shopper. By in large, I think the quality of the garments is too low even for the price and the thought put into designs is lacking. However, there are times when Old Navy does it right: insanely affordable denim, basic t-shirts, and this dress. Prints are a hard thing for a discounted retailer to pull off, which is why I typically go with solid colors if I’m shopping for inexpensive duds, but Old Navy nails it with this multi-colored floral dress. The variety of flowers and colors in the pattern make it look more expensive than it is, unlike the other two-color prints for this dress that look cheap.

As with any low-cost apparel, pairing it with luxe accessories elevates the look. I went with my go-to Ferragamo flats and a DVF clutch. Both of these have high price tags, but the cost per wear makes it worthwhile. I normally wore out a pair of black flats in the $100-150 range within a year. The Ferragamo pair still looks brand new. I’ll have them resoled when they start to look worn. The clutch is one of my absolute favorite accessories. I splurged on it a couple of years ago and haven’t had a desire to buy another black clutch since. The classic shape won’t go out of style and it’s large enough for all of your essentials.

Currently Coveting

May 2, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

Right now, I’m coveting:

  • A woven clutch for just the essentials
  • Pointed tips on a pair of retro-inspired shades
  • Dainty enamel floral studs
  • A sneak peek at Lulu Frost’s summer line for J.Crew
  • A refreshing summer cocktail
  • The goldenrod background of these floral pants
  • Last year’s must-have sandals in a wear-with-everything hue
  • Jonathan Adler for JCP (especially this pillow)

Reminder! Win a pair of bangle bracelets from Sequin!

Outfitted

I bought this dress for a friend’s wedding in May, but I couldn’t wait to wear it. So much, in fact, that I braved the freezing temperatures to take a few snapshots before a trip to the tailor. The straps need to be adjusted (the woes of having a small bust), which should take care of the extra fabric wrinkling on the sides. Fingers crossed.

Snapshots

Finding this coat on eBay inspired me to dig out my Banana Republic clutch from the same season. Together, they’re the perfect canvas for spring’s delicate gems.
