Grey Banana Republic Merino Shift Dress



Where: Consignment boutique
Cost: $17


I found this dress this fall in my favorite consignment store and was so excited. I immediately pictured it with tall boots and a long pendant necklace. I loved it. Then I brought it home and found out my fiance despises it. He says it looks like a sack.

That definitely diminishes my enjoyment of the dress but I wear it on occasion because I still think it is great and get many compliments every time I wear it (from the ladies who think it is cute).

Ah, Amarie, with all due respect to your fiance, he's absolutely wrong. It's lovely! I especially like the way it drapes softly on your figure. Very flattering.

Still, like most women, I'm sure you dress partly if not mostly for your man, so don't listen to me. ;-) I know that I'm less likely to wear something if I think my husband won't like it.

Salut,
Marjorie

I had a VERY similar dress a few years ago - it was by Ann Taylor. I loved the swinginess at the time but it just doesn't fit my lifestyle now. Enjoy it.
love, tessa

Take no notice of your fiance, what do boys know? If I listened to my man, I'd be in black trousers or jeans all the time and crying with boredom!

Ignore him! That dress and the shirt under it are awesome.

I think the dress is really cute, and the way you wear it it's very nice, so... keep wearing it.

thanks everyone for your comments! it is quite adorable i guess he will just have to live with it! i feel that many men have been despairing that these last few seasons have been all about the trapeze/ babydoll dresses and tops that do not emphasize a woman's figure. i think that often women dress more for each other than for the men in their lives.
