Ask Angie: Trying to rock the frock

Laura inspired me to find a day dress, so I hit Macy's dress department today. I love that this dress has a cowl neck and longer sleeves. It feels soft and cozy. I need a very honest opinion on fit and how it looks.

*Please ignore the strange flash reflection on my chest! I swear it doesn't do that in real life!

If it's a keeper, any suggestions for hose/tights? I'm not sure about the brown opaque tights. :o)

You score KILLER on the first attempt. Aren't you a clever little sausage :0)

The hose you've chosen works. Try nude fishnets too. Sheer grey hose will also look lovely. Well done, Boof! Your user name cracks me up.

Love it Boof! Especially with the denim jacket and I really like the bare leg look too- is it warm enough where you are to get away with that?

A KILLER and a "clever little sausage" all at once? I feel faint! My user name is a nickname I acquired in high school and has been with me ever since. My name is Meredith, and a two-year-old I knew at the time called me "Mereboof." My friends latched on to the "Boof" part, and I also had HUGE 80's hair, so the boof is also a reference to the hair, as in "bouffant." :o) Too much information?

Queenie, I live in Atlanta, so we have a few more bare leg days left.

My next mission is fishnets at Nordstrom! :o)

Boof, great dress! Not that you need more affirmation, after Angie rated it killer. I love it with the jean jacket. Fab.

The Missoni style print is wonderful. BTW, are you wearing a white bra under the dress? This would account for the strange white flash marks

What a lovely dress, you look great in it the outfit with the boots and the jacket is spot one, I think the dress inspiration is being passed on to me now, maybe I should go looking for one too!

Lovely dress and the print is gorgeous!

LOVE the dress. WANT the dress!

It's the bra under the flash that's doing that. Wear a darker or flesh-colored bra and you'll be all set. Happens to actresses on the red carpet all the time! :)

You completely rock the frock! Nice going on your very first attempt. The colors in the dress look perfect with your hair. And the nickname story is too, too cute.

Super cute! Where did you find that dress? I want one, too! The print is unique, the length is just right--it's the perfect casual dress. It looks so smart with the denim jacket and scrunchy boots. Win!

Echo, I found it at Macy's. They also had the same dress in gold and gray tones. It was prettty, too.

Thanks, so much everyone! My head is swelling. I may not fit through the door! :o)
