I really adore this dress but it definitely pushes past sweet territory and into saccharine, so I don't wear it often! The insidious nature of the mushroom print is always overwhelmed by the peter pan collar and pretty pleating. I don't actually enjoy resembling a porcelain doll, but occasionally I can't resist a too-adorable dress. I had hoped my shorter hair would make me look less cutesy, but I'd say that's pretty much a fail...

Well if you were trying to restrain the cuteness, then I agree with you Rebecca, it's a total fail ;D You look so adorable that these pictures should be actually framed! Embrace it, pretty lady!

LOVE this dress a ton! very cute look, and I think your haircut balance it well:)
ReplyDeleteYour new haircut looks great. It adds such a carefree/world traveler vibe to your look.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a sucker for cutie pie dresses ... so naturally my heart is skipping a beat over this one:) Your hair definitely balances out the sweetness and just makes for one stunning ensemble all around.
ReplyDeleteGiiiirl, I am right there with you, I angst all the time about too-twee, esp cos I'm older than you are. Sometimes I cannot resist, and with this dress, it would have been one of those times. LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI just saw your new haircut for the first time and let out a gasp (in the library no less) YOU LOOK STUNNING! These photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm telling ya, you need to just steal that train car and move it to your yard. Perfect clubhouse!

How in the world did I miss you cutting your hair into a pixie?! You look adorable! It's funny, I feel with short hair less cutesy...
ReplyDeleteI adore that dress too ! :O)
Sorry, you still look as cute as ever... But it doesn't matter, love the look!

Ah, I love the colour of the tights!
ReplyDeleteMy most favourite colour... and the dress is really cute!
Lovely outfit, the dress is really cute. The same happens to me sometimes, I have some beautiful dresses, but I don't wear them a lot because I feel too much girly, cheesy, dress-up wearing them.
ReplyDeleteI think your haircut and matching tights and booties keep this from looking too twee, actually. If all else fails, you could wear it with a leather jacket! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat location! Where were you?
ReplyDeletethat dress is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'm so slow to realize your new hair cut! I love pixie hair cut and u look fabulous! Wish I could have a little more courage to chop off my hair. This dress is so interesting! It feels very christmasy!

Mushroom print?! Oh my god that is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe mushroom dress is amazing)) I love the fact that it not only has a peter pan collar, but a black peret pan collar))

God, you're even cuter now with the short hair!!! I know that's not the direction you intended for, but you remind me a cutesy disney character from the 1960s. Like Hayley Mills. Please take that for a compliment!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is fantastically cute! The mushroom print is awesome. I really love the color of your tights with it. I don't think there's anything wrong with looking cutesy!
ReplyDeleteYup, there's nothing wrong with a cute dress:D If it makes you happy then there's no problem
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty cutesy, but it works for every now and then! The dress is definitely a dominator of an outfit.
ReplyDeleteTotally cute! Every once in a while something like this is perfect. ;)

To lessen the cute factor, pair it with really tough or edgy pieces. Wear the dress with frayed and deconstructed super-skinny jeans, or fishnets and tall stove-pipe black flat boots, or spike jewelry and combat boots, or make it very cozy feeling with grey sweater tights, a gray thick cardi or fair isle sweater and some tall black boots.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is lovely! I haven't checked in in a long time and actually squealed when I saw your hair - I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely look!
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky, I try to find this dress since months ! It fits you perfectly
ReplyDeleteSee U
toss it my way if its too saccharine! ;)
