    I always go easy on prints especially when it is broken up with a plain top or bottom but these dresses are gorgeous but not so keen on the blue and red one.

    Once again, totally impressed with your eye for fashion and research prowess.

    I'm not much for print dresses as theytend to make me look larger than I am, but the Cynthia Rowley dress has nice coloring and a cinched waist. Definitely a contender.

    Have a great weekend, chica!
