Yes, it's different, but I don't think it's so far outside your style repertoire that it couldn't work. I love the pattern and the fit on you, and I think it's funky enough that it will work very well with your style. What a great find!

Ana, Sveta, Christy, citygirldc -- thanks!

Natalie -- actually I live on the peninsula. The name of the boutique is Red Square and the owner is a designer and also like to support local designers!

Denise -- whoa, those are some fierce booties in that lot! Love them but I will see what in my current shoe collection might work

Kari -- Thanks! I actually thought of you when I saw the dress since you wear dresses so wonderfully

LOVE, love, love the sheath on you. And love the advice to wear it as is. I'd actually carry a denim jacket (because denim and orange are meant to go together) without ever actually wearing it (lame but a sort of security blanket!)

I had different footwear in mindfor you, my dear. Something like these sandals:

sara! I just ordered those shoes :b hopefully they will fit -- I totally need light colored flat sandals

Ooh! I hope they fit and feel good They should echo the diagonal stripes in the dress nicely Looking forward to pics when they arrive.

Hi Cciele --

What a beautifully fitting dress on you -- I love the print!

I am with those who want you to wear it as-is or perhaps with an underlayer (the SF favorite -- black -- in a tissue-weight sweater?).

However, when you find a topper that doesn't compete with the unusual pockets, please share the results!
