Baybay Mama said...

I am more of a solid type of gal. Sometimes when I pick up dresses that have paterns I think to myself, is it going to look dates in a couple of months? BUT your post convinced me that I should really just buy one:)

ellie said...

Great title for a post. I'm not sure I'm a big fan of print though..perhaps not so bold in some of the patterns.

Happy Holidays!

& thanks for visiting my blog & the feedback.

Amelia said...

I adore the Zac Posen pre-fall collection, too! I looove prints. It seems like I hardly wear an outfit without them. Jenny's dress is pretty.

Eeli said...

Not only CC but Eelie too. They hide a multitude of sins and make an otherwise basic cut of dress into something quirky and fabulous!
