I used to work as a stock boy at Marshall's and had to wear a tie. Hated it. Looks good on you though.

i love love LOVE the blouse, but really could do without the shoes and the tie :S... some simple pretty black shoes would have done it for me still loving the blouse though...a lot

The cropped dress idea is amazing. Not so crazy about the tie. With a collared white blouse under the black dress, the tie might work. Or as a belt for another outfit?

Looks great! I think that blouse would also look good with some low boots and intricate jewelry- kind of victorian perhaps? keep up the good work!

Silver blouse goes well with the black dress, wonder how about a red tie & black shoes.

love the Boomtown Rats/Geldolf "I Don't Like Mondays" reference. (where do you come up with all this stuff? is your Irish heritage rearing it's wee little head?) needless to say, the corrective optimism of your entire project is positively infectious (pun, intended).

i'm not huge on ties with that kind of dress, but that blouse is stunning. not sure about the shoes, but you look cute anyhow.

It must have been hard to crop that dress -- it's a really interesting and pretty pattern. I see why you chose to wear the tie (to go with the shoes), but you probably didn't need it... unless you were going for the whole Monday thing.

I love that blouse! And of course those beautiful shoes that keep popping up because you want to drive everyone crazy with jealousy :)

Well . . . always happy to see those shoes (!) and the yellow tie has potential (especially with the shoes) -- but just not as put together today. Still admiring the creative efforts!

I was always taught not to wear something that looked wider than it was long. I'd love to see this with a black lace skirt underneath to add additional exture and length to the bottom.

I love this outfit. How did you modify the dress... fold up the bottom and secure with the belt?

Hi! I really like the idea of showing people that you can wear the same dress in many different styles. Now, my qustion is, is it possible to buy a dress like the one you are wearing? Or did your friend just create your seven dresses?

Very nice! I`ve seen every variant of your outfit with the dress - very interesting ideas. I can suggest to try some kind of brooch - to change silhouette? or use interesting drapery. Also, may be neckerchiefs and neckties may be interesting with this dress. Good luck.

Not so keen on the necktie but can see why, it goes well with the shoes. Sort of OK

It's okay but I'm not so sure about the whole yellow tie thing. The shoes are very cute but if you get rid of the tie and pick some other shoes I think this outfit will become a lot better.

Yup - loving this outfit. Colour and shape of jacket, tie matching the shoes.

You could (should) be a model. Or a full time fashionista.
Posted 1362 days ago.
