Women’s Smocked Chiffon Dresses
Chiffon, I will never tire. This is the second dress I bought today, also at Old Navy. This one is more neutral, the print looks like brushstrokes in blues, purples, and grey. I like that the print runs up and down which creates a slightly elongating illusion. Perfect for every woman who argues she’s average height but is on the short end if that spectrum (not that I’d know about that, I’m 5’5”). The little details like flutter sleeves and airy chiffon ruffle hem are what first drew me to it.
Bottom Line: Simple but sassy dress for warm weather, can be dressed up or down, only $15+tax in-store.
Old Navy Women’s Floral-Chiffon Keyhole Dresses
I bought this dress today, true to my floral chiffon addiction. I can’t help it that I’ve never seen a floral I didn’t want to wear. This dress is part of ON’s straight size line, I purchased it in an XXL so it must run very large as I normally wear a 3x/20/22. Hey, I’m not complaining. The cut is flattering on me and the right length, my cousin noted it was even slimming. The dress is a very good basic piece even with the print. If you dress simply it can be worn with sandals and studs, if you’re a bit more funky add a belt or cardi, wedges and big earrings and a color block bag. On the website some reviews mentioned the dress is too sheer, I didn’t see that at the store but it might be an issue, I could wear something underneath so it’s not a big deal to me.
Bottom Line: Great spring/summer dress for only $19+ tax in-store.
What I Wore: January 26th, 2012
Today, for the first time in months I wore jeans. I should wear them more often. Come summer I’ll be in shorts and a top with sandals every day. I am wearing a loose raglan style sweater I received for Christmas from one of my good friends. It’s just another day of classes for me, the weekend is almost here!
