I have until 9 p.m. to exchange this at Value Village.It seemed a no brainer when I bought it 7 days ago for $9.99: a 100 percent dress, made in Paris, label Rene Derhy. The floral boho look got to me, as did that "Paris" tag.
But is there such a thing as boho overboard?
Am I going to look like a castoff from Little House on the Prairie if I wear this?
It's very fitted on top, then tends to balloon a little at the waist as the skirt flares. I could sex it up with dark stockings and silver shoes, but I'm not 100 percent sure I can carry it off and look, well, NOT like Holly Hobbie.
Cast your vote as today is the last day I can exchange it for something else! It's in my bag, tags on and with receipt, on the ready if I need to shuttle out to good 'ole VV after work.
Ummm, looks Holly Hobby-ish. More like a costume than a really cool dress. At least you get to take it back!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I do see little house on the prairie when I look at it. I might be heading back to VV if I were you. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think you could work it, I say keep it I really like the colours.

I think it's fab!!! Keep it :) All it needs is some non-boho accessories to balance it out.
ReplyDeleteI like the pattern and general shape but the collar area is definitely too House on the Prairie, maybe you could alter it? Cut away the collar part and sew it into an open v, then wear it with leggings and a belt?
ReplyDeletetoo much ?
ReplyDeleteGuys, thanks for honest and enthusiastic comments by some! I posted this as I was feeling unsure of it ... so I DID exchange it last night at VV/. I found a purple ROOTS hoodie and some leather sandals for summer - will post soon! Thanks for feedback!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you exchanged it. The fact that you asked our opinions means you were unsure and I say your feelings were right on. Can't wait to see you hoodie and sandals.
ReplyDeleteToo bad - should have sent it to me :) All it needed was a pair of brown leather boots, a wide brown belt and a fun hat - ta da!
ReplyDeleteSorry hon bun I returned it! I can see where you were going with that look ... alas it was really tight across the chest on me (I REALLY woulda looked like a girl from Little House ...)....
