Retail Therapy

I needed a little retail therapy today, so I took myself to Target. I found a great cotton summer dress (and I even found a coordinating bra that I feel ok about showing the straps of), a lightweight necklace, and a white watch (the band of my old watch snapped while I was at Target). Now I just need a pair of sandals and the sunshine!

you can see the contrasting band at the bottom of the dress on this one (disregard the wrinkled dress and the chicken wings- oy!)

Do the thin straps on this dress work ok?

As a disclaimer I have no idea how this type of dress is supposed to fit, so I could be wrong about this, but I kind of wish there was a little more fabric up top, under your arm. Other than that, it's very flattering on you. The necklace and watch are great though.

Love the necklace and watch. I second Maya's thoughts on the fabric under the arm and also wonder if the neckline is a bit low - I'd be wearing a cami with that, which would make it too hot for the hottest weather.

I agree about the underarm issue. I think it is too tight there and it is causing your arms to bulge funny. I've had this issue with dresses before.

Khris- I think you can do better dress-wise.
the watch and necklace are fab though-- and much less pricey than a real therapist I'm sure

Look how thin you are. Wow.
I think the color is not doing anything for you. Ofcourse you could brighten it up with a nice white cropped cardi or any color you like.
Does the dress tie behind your neck? This looks like a good dress for sitting around in the evening shade, having a bar b que, sipping some ice tea.

I think this dress would look totally cute under your denim jacket!

The watch is very very cute. I really like the styling of the dress but I don't feel like it does you justice. You look fantastic - I am so inspired to work out even harder at the gym by how svelte you are.

I really can't tell without your head and legs, Khris! The bodice looks lovely, just not sure about the strappy straps. I could say that the frock will look fab under a cardi or jacket, but you'll want something that doesn't require extra coverage for scorching days.

Sweet watch and necklace though.
