K/R: New Sundress

I loved the dress in Transcona Shannon's link so much the other day (http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....thanks-jem) that I went out to Cleo Petites and brought one home. What say you? Should it stay?

Alsofor review are a pair of new Josef Siebel ankle strap wedges. I know the ankle strap risks the dreaded stump. But what can I say? I am a sucker for this type of sandal.

Please let me know what you think: Yay or Nay

    Huge YAY. Fab color, fab cut, just perfect on you. I loved the dress so much that I hardly noticed the sandals until I re-read your post. Love the sandals a little less. I am not a huge ankle strap person unless it's a low-contrast color. But the dress: hooray!!

  • Ana replied 11 years ago

    Yes, KEEP! I love this on you, Suz! The blue is beautiful. I love the sandals (I don't mind ankle straps though). They do seem a little chunky and casual with the dress. Love the pop of red, though. Maybe more refined red shoes? Either way, I do hope you keep the dress. :)

    AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! Love the dress on you Suz! Now I'm even more excited to get mine! It looks beautiful on you. And I happen to like the sandals - the strap doesn't bother me.

  • Lulu replied 11 years ago

    I vote keep! The dress looks tailor made for you and you own that color! I think styling the dress with the sandals and jacket makes this trendy and fun; i think a killer patent pump and a string of pearls would transform the look to classy and elegant. Very versatile!

  • Jjsloane replied 11 years ago

    Can't imagine this looking any better. KEEP please! I like the sandals too and think the strap is small enough not to stumpify.

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    YAY! I loved this dress in Shannon's link also! Beautiful!

  • replied 11 years ago

    Love the dress! And your arms are looking so beautifully defined, you buff babe!

  • MsMary replied 11 years ago

    Love! And yes! Look at those fab triceps!!

  • morethanbeige replied 11 years ago

    Suz, this dress looks fantastic on you! Please keep!

  • Kari replied 11 years ago

    That dress is all kinds of fab on you!

  • replied 11 years ago

    FAB, FAB, FAB....absolutely keep!

  • goldenpig replied 11 years ago

    There isn't a choice, it's keep or keep! Love the blue dress on you and the sandals and matching berry denim jacket are super cute with the dress! I can't get over how fab you look in this dress!

  • Lyn D. replied 11 years ago

    Yes, keep!

  • Beth Ann replied 11 years ago

    This is wonderful for summer! It would work with a lot of different jackets, too!

  • Angie replied 11 years ago

    KILLER. Digging the sandals too!

    Now I know why you want a white denim jacket :)

    We have a love for the same shade of blue, Suz.

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    Okay it is official. I am cutting the tags! Thank you all for enabling! I did get it on sale (although not at Shannon's fab price, still a good deal).

    And Angie, you are exactly right. I already wanted a white denim jacket and had been looking for one locally. But this dress just made it imperative!!

    I'm so glad you also approve of the sandals. They are SUPER comfy because they are Siebels. They also come in a tan, which is what I was going to buy. But my heart said "Campari" (what they call the colour). So I threw caution to the wind.

  • Angie replied 11 years ago

    Yay, Suz! You've had a hard time with high Summer tops, but you've scored with the breezy frocks :)

  • nicoleb replied 11 years ago

    Love! Keep, keep, keep! You already decided but i'm saying it anyway. :D

  • replied 11 years ago

    I just opened #6 and I went WOW.
    I loved the dress on Shannon and I love it on you too! I am glad you are keeping it.

  • Mo replied 11 years ago

    never saw it on Shannon but love it on you! Keep.

  • cheryle (Dianthus) replied 11 years ago

    That dress is gorgeous on you Suz. I also noticed what great posture you have in the pics. I wonder if that makes you look taller than you are. I particularly like the hot pink jacket over the dress but can see it with white too.

    Lovely. I am glad you are keeping it.

  • Jaime replied 11 years ago

    Love the dress and the sandals. And Dianthus is right - your posture is perfection.

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    Thank you all. My posture results from some ballet as a kid (and a mother who lost no opportunity to tell me to stand up straight!) My triceps result from darn hard work. Alas.

  • christy replied 11 years ago

    Oh, what a terrific dress! And I love the sandals - super cute. No "alas" on the hard work triceps - a big "you go girl" instead. :)

  • Joy replied 11 years ago

    Keep! keep! keep! Wonderful outfit.

  • Jonesy replied 11 years ago

    LOVE the dress! LOVE the Campari lovelies! Agree that your posture and triceps are fab :).

  • Sveta replied 11 years ago

    Late here but had to chime in with the praise for this dress. The color! The length! The fit! Pure perfection. I see it is also cotton and not polyester - yay!
    Lovely sandals too and red is great with this dress.

  • Debbie replied 11 years ago

    Love this dress. You look stunning on this blue!

  • replied 11 years ago

    This is the most perfect, yummy dress for you Suz! There is not one thing I would change about it. Red sandals are really cute, too. Do not fear the stump! You could tie your striped sweater around your neck to make it really casual, too. Just sayin'. :)

  • lyn67 replied 11 years ago

    Keep both, super finds! LOVE the cut and colour of the dress so much, and Josepf Siebel is known for comfy footwear, isn't it?

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    Claire, what a fun idea about the sweater! You are so clever.

    And thank you everyone for the compliments about the dress, and especially to Shannon who linked to it, because I never would have found it if not for her. I do think it's a really nice summer dress. During my work retreat in late June at Niagara on the Lake, we are going to go for a dinner at a winery; I think this is the outfit for that.

  • Kristin L replied 11 years ago

    I love the outfit! I have one question, though. Where did you find the shoes? I've been looking for a pair similar to those.

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    Kristin, I got the shoes on line from a Canadian outlet called Shoetopia.

    I knew the fit would be good because I have a pair of booties from the same maker that I absolutely love...thanks to Krishnidoux for pointing those out to me.

    I just did a quick online search and saw they are available quite widely in Canada and the UK but no US sites popped up immediately. But I"ll bet you can order from Canada if you want.

  • krishnidoux replied 11 years ago

    Joseph Siebel is now holding a kioske in Costco!

    Suz, by now I think you know you will keep this delightful dress. And the shoes with it look so good! Bravo.

  • nancylee replied 11 years ago

    LOVE LOVE LOVE! Both the dress and the shoes are fabulous! :)

  • AJ replied 11 years ago

    So pretty! Luv the dress with the shoes! This is a great colorful, comfy, summertime duo.

  • celia replied 11 years ago

    You look so fab in this.
    There is not a Cleo around me but I feel very tempted to order online.....
