LOVE. I didn't think I'd like it open, either (I'm just full of negative thoughts, aren't I?), but I DO! It works beautifully over the column of black, and it would look fab worn closed over the leggings, too. I also like the picture above with the grey pants. I'm not sure there's anything this dress cannot do.

The fit is amazing on you, Joy! The colour also goes well with you. I want to ask though - what is it that makes you hesitate keeping the dress? Fit, colour, comfort and function (pockets!) seem to be good for you. I do understand the hesitation though as I go through that at times. In my case, when everything seems fine, something just feels emotionally "off" for me.

Wait, I somehow missed this. You are keeping aren't you? Looks wonderful and love your shoe choices!

MissKatieKat, that is a good question. I really do love it but was afraid it might not be a good style for me. I will keep it with Angie and so many others liking it. I do not fill out the top, but it has a loose fit that probably doesn't require filling out. I thought that it might look overpowering but I don't think it looks that way in the photos. I'm now excited to wear the dress.

I really like it, especially with your hair. Very striking and a good cut.
