I've been thinking about this particular look lately...

Both anne and Dusty pulled it off fabulously, but they wore dresses that more-or-less hugged their figures. Would the look work as well with a strapless dress that was a bit more A-line? I really want to get some use out of a black/white toile print strapless that I have...its been languishing in my closet for years because I feel self-conscious with my shoulders fully exposed =/ Is it worth a shot...and does it work best with collared shirts, or t-shirts...or...?
