Q&A about individual items, ensembles, and wardrobe

pic's of San in a dress /leggings

I bought this dress online from the Nordstrom's sale and wonder if it is too dressy for the crop leggings. It is a jersey rayon/spandex fabric

Great dress, you can use it with leggings but I would try a different color.. maybe a navy blue

I think it looks great. Does it have black in the pattern?

It looks like it might be a bit too long to wear with leggings... It looks like it hits just under your knees. Maybe if it was shortened to just above your knees? I could be wrong though. :) I think the dress looks great on you though. It works with your shape well.

Love it, would love to see it with a shoe! Maybe my computer is not showing the whole thing.The dress is stunning on you! It is so nice to see your posts!

I think it looks great! The colors are beautiful, it looks great for warm weather, and you can pop on a little cardi or a denim jacket if you need to cover up for AC. I envy you that you can wear pattern so well! What are you wearing on your feet with this dress?

My feeling is the leggings ideally need to be a bit longer, but having said that i still like the look of the dress and leggings combo x

I think it can work with leggings! I echo Loulou -- maybe try with a bit longer leggings. But I know we all have differing opinions about dress vs leggings length.

Wonderful! Not too dressy at all. Do you have a denim jacket, San? You are cuter than cute.

How do you feel in this outfit?

I haven't worn this yet, was just trying it this morning.
The leggings are actually yoga shorts so that might be why the length seems off. I think the dress hits right above my knee. I actually ordered the dress when I saw it on the sale site because I am going to a wedding in August and this dress seemed to be something I could work with. I definately do wonder if the big floral pattern is all wrong for me.
I have not figured out yet what shoes to wear if I wear this with the leggings. I don't have any cute ballet flats yet.
I'll have to buy a denim jacket. Should I get dark denim or white? Would a faded denim be wrong?
Thanks for your feed back.

San, I think it looks great on you! I am a sucker for floral so I am really loving the print. I like that you can dress it down with a denim jacket & leggings or dress it up with heels & a wrap for your wedding. I think a dark or white denim jacket would work. I am personally not a fan of the faded denim jacket but I see it being worn quite nicely in casual looks. I just don't think it's as versatile as a darker wash or white.

This is the only denim jacket I have at this time. It has double breasted buttons so looks best all buttoned up. I'll need to get a new one to wear with this dress.
