Weekend Wear: Jean Paul Gaultier for Target

I am loving this dress.  Seriously, loving.  When I purchased it at Target.com (since I hadn't been in the store to see any of the items) one of the reviewers said that this was the "sleeper hit" of the entire line, and I have to agree wholeheartedly. 

I can see how the length might be a bit off for the petite girls (I'm 5'8" without heels and it hits right at the knee.  Unfortunately the cross-body detail makes hemming out of the question (at least to my amateur eyes).  The fabric was also reviewed as "cheap," but I think it's perfectly light for spring and summer.  Also, I chose to stick with the XS although I ordered both the XS and S just in case.




And a few shots with more practical "errand-running" flats:


Belt - Urban Outfitters
Necklace - Banana Republic
Jacket - H&M
Heels - Forever21
Flats - Elie Tahari
Purse - Chanel

Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

  3. You really know how to make nautical stripes work, and love the pairing of this dress with the f21 heels. What is it about f21 uncomfortable heels that seem so appealing in theory?

  5. This dress looks GREAT on you, but I think it would make me look frumpy & like an oompah loompah as I'm only 5'3". Btw, I absolutely LOVE your Elie Tahari flats! I've been searching for classic style & good quality work flats for ages! Do you mind if I ask where you purchased them, or if they are still for sale in stores?

  6. That's such a cute dress on you Anh! It pairs so well with the flats & heels, and I love the belt detail you added. Love the H&M military coat, I have the same one in plum. Can't wait to see the coats you scored in lookbooks!
