Look at me, it's not even out yet, and I'm hoping to get it at a sale price, lol! I could totally see it w/leggings and flats or boots. And flip flops in summer. Can you tell me though, is it black or blue? If it's blue, I'm not as interested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-9671639655897054172012-03-29T20:30:29.559-04:002012-03-29T20:30:29.559-04:00Thanks not sure how I missed that!Thanks not sure how I missed that!WendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-23455591651070770862012-03-29T20:30:13.862-04:002012-03-29T20:30:13.862-04:00$135 is way too much, I will want much better at t...$135 is way too much, I will want much better at this price point.

Yeesh. The anchor w/the stripes is too much, but I do like that silhouette. I know it doesn't work for many. I'm not a fan of paisley, but I like the print in the blouse. I also used to not like the cotton voile, but I appreciate it. It's great for layering under other pieces, esp sweaters.

That's a perfect summer work dress for me (if the proportions fit, that is).<br /><br />Anchors have always been too "literal-nautical" for me personally.

Too much print on top for me though.
