Continuing my exploration of the hidden recesses of my closet, here is a red rose swing dress that I bought off eBay last December when I was looking for a costume to wear to a Wild West holiday party at work. I was going to wear it with a red crinoline underneath: http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....iday-party. I ended up going with a saloon girl look instead (http://goldenpig.lookfab.com/p.....aloon-girl) and purging the crinoline, but this dress and another cherry-print dress were non-returnable since they were from eBay. I bought them off eBay because I couldn't find this sort of style online or in stores, but now I know better than to buy stuff off eBay unless I'm absolutely sure I want it.

Anyhow, thought I'd see if this would still be appropriate to wear as a non-costume summer dress (I have the day off from work today so this is a MOTG outfit). I paired it with an AE cropped faded denim jacket and flat nude Naturalizer sandals and a casual turquoise necklace and my JWT straw purse. Does it look OK or do I still look like a cowgirl even without boots on? Is it too low cut in the front with the halter style (I'm wearing a strapless bra)? Keep or toss on the dress? Thanks for looking and commenting!
