The Concept
Each day, with old man candor, I'll offer my brand of style counsel to the professional DC women who believe a serious job is a valid excuse for an ill-fitted, office inappropriate, comfort first work wardrobe. And when the mood strikes me, which is often, I'll also muse about celebrity fashion and my own fashion-related comings and goings, both of which, I'm sure, are of great interest to you.

so cute!
Wait a few months (or weeks) and Zara will have a great knockoff. They are all about the dress with the front-pockets right now.
I must say, I don't like this dress. It looks "jailbird-lady clown" to me because of the stripe-ruffle combo. Although even in a solid color, I think it would still look a bit frumpy even with proper accessorizing.
lady reporter-
I respectfully disagree on all fronts, but I'm guessing you're not much of a ruffle person if you think this dress looks the least bit clown-ish or frumpy -- or if you think it needs accessorizing of any sort! Pearl studs, a simple black patent round-toe stiletto and you'd be good to go. It's such a beautiful showpiece dress (the cut, the pattern, the pockets), I wouldn't dare muck it up with extraneous accessories.
but we can always agree to disagree...
best,

johanna,
Clearly I should have given some examples of proper accessorizing before any allusions to "extraneous accessories" came out. I thought I made myself clear when I described the dress as clown-like that I would definitely never endorse any sort of overaccessorized look. Believe me, the dress, in my opinion, is more than enough. I don't dislike ruffles, I just don't like this dress.
But that's just me. Fashion, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder.
Until the next fashion debate,
lady reporter
lady reporter-
sorry, I think my reply came off a lot more biting than I meant it to...of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I'm glad you spoke up and offered your opinion. I get far too little of that on this site!
best,
Johanna
