I finally got my Modcloth order!

I got this dress. And gloves. I'm trying to decide if the dress is something I would ever wear. It looks very "Sound of Music" to me. Not really anything I would ever pick out, and I have no idea how to make it cuter with accessories, since it's already so busy.   I always figure I can wear almost anything and "cute it up" with accessories, or my go to jean jacket, but no ideas for this one.

Re: I finally got my Modcloth order!

  • Oh wow.  All you need are clogs and pigtails.

    Is it a sweater material?  The neckline kinda looks sweater-ey.  Because it's my go-to, I'd pair it with a monochromatic cardigan and shoes the same color, and I'd try to match them to the same blue as the flowers.

  • Yup, it's a sweater dress. Maybe I need to save it for a Halloween costume. Heh.

  • Oh, wow! It's definitely Maria-y.

    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

    I think it's really cute, and would absolutely wear it! But I live in a Nordic country, so people would just think it was a nod to the local cultural heritage.

    ETA - Out of curiosity, who makes it?

    It reminds me of the Hanna Andersson dresses I always get for the girls for Christmas photos.  It is cute but it definitely seems more like a fall/winter dress.

    Bea and Dot - it's Modcloth's own brand, apparently.

  • For me in my everyday life, it's too costumey.
