Hi CC,
Oh yeah! Very interesting and lovely loooook!
kisses: Janet
I really like this shape, already have a couple of dressess like this, they are so comfy and stylish at the same time!!!
Chanel resort is my kind of style... a dream on the golden age of the Riviera...
Volume scares me a bit, but looks nice on the models!
I have had four Volvo's and I loved them all. I however do not love boxy clothes. I look like a Hummer in them. Not pretty.;-)
xoxo
Love the 'heart' dress. So colorfull. *.*
Lol that AD.. from CRAZY PEOPLE! i that that's the only thing i remember from that movie besides daryl hannah!
I just always like comming thru to see you babygurl.
Adoro las dos últimas fotos! son muy muy muy inspiradoras,
besos!
I love the voluminous look yet somehow, it's still kept at a minimal level. =]
Thanks for the comment, sweet CC!<3
Maison Martin Margiela and the last three is my favourites 'boxy' looks!

i looove the white Antonio Berardi dress. it's sooo classic and perfect. and of course the raquel shredded dress is amazing! i want to DIY soo bad! love this post!
i do enjoy a short boxy dress. i think long ones really dwarf me as i am only 5'4"... : )
Hmm interesting pieces, but this shape looks a little hard to wear for the regular person - you just end up actually looking like a box!
Volume is just THE thing. MMM, Calvin Klein, Hussein Chalayan... I love the structuralism / or the loose of it. Really fantastic !
And the post is huge !
To be honest I'm a bit afraid of volume... if I look like a box???
I love my belts!
But they seem comfy...
Thanks for sharing dear CC
xoxo
definitely an interesting shape...but i think you have to be on the lean side to rock it
Haha - love the boxy ad and the look!
These models look great in your voluminous finds, but every time I try on something slouchy or voluminous I just end up feeling frumpy and wanting to cinch it all with a thick belt. :-)
love boxy look, but it can easily go wrong, like the topic!!!

Hi there-I badly want the maison Martin Margiela dress-divine!
I'm not that fond of big dresses. I'm not tall and I kind of disappear when I wear too large dresses. But when I put on a belt in the waist the dresses looks extremely different and much more suitable..
xx
Hello's...wow the bold striking heart dress: I NEED, haha!
Peace and Bows...

For the most part, I really love this look: the geometry and the color! But I think as a petite girl, I'd have to be careful- I could end up looking like a 5 year old in a magenta marshmallow.
The last dress is stunning!
I am from Barcelona but I can't help hating Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, I think I've never liked anything she designed haha
But anyways, the rest are truly fantastic.
xx
Love boxy & oversized...so comfy!!!
Wow. I am offically in love with the shift dress with the heart on it. So sweet!
oh my gosh! i adore that Laura Dawson robot dress - i must have it! :) thanks for sharing - fabulous post :) x
hehe my family is the proud (er not) owner of a volvo!
haha, i loveee the giles- im slowly getting into colours now :)
mxx
nope! i dont like the boxy look one bit! i would end up looking like a box myself XD
some very interesting shapes. i looove the one with the heart on it - adorable!
I love the look, but let's face it...it is not the most flattering way to go now is it? Does that ever stop me? Nope!! Love the look and rock it more than I should!

Calvin Klein is the king of boxy beauty!
Volume is not for me. I always find that oversize things weirdly cling to any parts I (a) don't want to show (b) feel should be disguised by the bagginess. What's up with that?
I think this look can either look very good or quite bad. I think I will belt in something boxy or pair it with something sleek.
i adore the margiela dress! i bought a shapeless boxy dress for prom. :D
Hahah, I love the connection to the Volvo.
I love how comfortable these looks are and of course how stylish they are!
LOVELOVELOVE the 7th dress! its so fabulous!
Beautiful dresses, I loved the white ones
I really adore the first.. boxy but A-line.. oh so good!!!! Keep up the fab finds carrie!
eeek! so fun and stylish- and perfect for those "fat days"! hehe love it!
xo
Yay! I love it when you collect similar designer's clothes pictures and post it like that! :)
Hey CC :)
Boxy can be tricky.
I have 2 boxy dresses.As long as they are short and/or sleeveless I'll wear one. Otherwise I don't find them flattering, my body gets lost!
A good on is fab though - comfortable and an interesting shape.

The shapes are really special!
one of my favorite style is a boxy dress with a belt! love it!
Hii
Thanks :)
Wow, I absolutely love that designs from Antonio Berardi, Undercover, Maison Martin Margiela and all the electric blue ones! *.*
Have a nice weekend!
Besos

What a great line! I like boxy short dresses with black tights and flats - tres cute! xx
hahahaha VOLVO's! hilariou CC>
great post. i'm def into this shape...coming from someone who doesn't have shape at all..i am like a snake. haha xxxx LM
Mmmmm yussss volume is tops! All those tent dresses really allow you to indulge in tasty treats and pastries. Tehehe!
In theory, 'boxy' instantly draws connotations of masculine cuts and unflattering shapes, but these are proof they can be chic! Love this post, CC! Good work x
Love the Raquel Allegra dresses.
xx.
Yo no soy mucho de las formas tan geométricas, sin embargo me encanta cuando tienen caida. Por cierto, me encanta la selección de tu post anterior, las mariposas. Un beso ;)
i love dresses w/ shapes like these, but i CAN NOT pull them off :(
it sucks!
haha
I like and I love an A-line dress :)
a kiss for you girl!
ur posts are always such amazing moodboards! i really like the Lanvin ribbon necklace. Since i cannot afford one (some day!) i think i'll try to...make one - well similar one. *inspired*
The movie is called CRAZY PEOPLE with Dudley Moore!!! I love that movie.
