Despite yesterday being Friday the 13th, I actually had a really great day! I met with designer Jeffery Monteiro for a potential summer internship and felt so good about it afterward I decided to treat myself to a new outfit from French Connection. Feel free to share your opinions on my new dress!
The name of the dress is the Sahara Cotton Dress and while it may look like a floral pattern, up close it’s actually camo – which I usually hate but made an exception because it’s orange and not the typical army green color.
Although it’s kind of difficult to tell, the back of the dress is lined with adorable little bows all the way from the neckline to the bottom of the dress. This little embellishment is one of the major reasons I bought the dress, I think the bows are too cute.
Again, because of the camo, you can’t really tell the bows are there, but if you look close enough you can kind of see them. Since I haven’t gone clothes shopping in literally months and because I got a new job as a hostess where I’ll be making more money, I decided to treat myself. It also helped that the dress was on sale and 25% off!
So what do you Lovelies think of my new dress? Fab or drab?

the orange yellow camo part matches your hair. I wouldn’t spend over $100 for a casual dress, but since it is a treat, then go for it

You look cute
But the dress is too expensive and just wasting money in my opinion.

At first I thought it was just okay. Then I learned the pattern was camo and it had bows down the back. Love it! The dress just got better and better as the post went on.

That dress is adorable. And I agree with earlier comments: the dress looks better on you than on the model!

I used to work at French Connection and the thing is with the dresses, some looks don’t flatter some types of bodies and every thing looks completely different on the body rather than just looking at it. That applies to most clothings but I honestly don’t like the dress on you or the model. Sad as it is, some of their dresses should of never been made. My coworkers and I always find some pieces saying Why oh WHY did they ever made this piece of clothing.
