Look, I know Carly Rae Jepsen’s persona is supposed to be geared toward fans of the younger set. And I know it’s summer and you’re hot and you want to wear as little as possible. But this dress rubs me the wrong way. Laced together at the waist, cut in at the shoulders (super unflattering on Carly’s short torso) and pink-toed brogues. I think short girls have the ability to pull off way more than us tall girls, but Carly managed to defy the odds. What do you think? Am I being awfully harsh?
Lovelies, what do you think of this odd and bright dress on Carly? Hit or miss?

it only bothers me because she’s 26 looking like a 14 year old.

The neckline makes her boobs look saggy…and the belt is supposed to define a waist-line that’s apparently nonexistent…
guest
those shoes….ruined it. ETA: I mean the dress is unflattering…I was going to forgive it because it’s cute, but the shoes. They are cute on their own but not with this dress…even if it fit her.

I like it! She’s emphasizing her shortness which I don’t think is a bad thing.

Ergh. The color is great on her, but I think an empire waist would be more flattering (it could still be laced, for the edginess factor). Those shoes would be fantastic with a different outfit.

Miss. Different belt and different shoes would make it a hit.

why she wore those shoes, i dont know, but cute!
guest
Pink and red look weird together, in my opinion. Especially in that shade of pink…
I like the lace dress. It would look awesome with some black pumps, though!
guest
The dress is cute, I am really liking it. But what is up with the shoes, she could have made a better decision there.
guest
Can we just talk about how god AWFUL her shoes are? They make the dress look positively gorgeous…
guest
