Marianne: Hear Me Out.

Oh, y'all. Don't give up on me, because here I am wearing yet another shirtdress. I am powerless to their charms, they are inexpensive, nursing-friendly, and comfortable. But hey, this one is a snake print! I know, you hear snake print dress and your mind goes to...no. And NO! And OMG NOOOOO (that one is only $7 and looks it). But hear me out, isn't this kind of great?
Note to self: remove the hair tie from your wrist before taking photos. SIGH. Anyway, this dress has a sheer outer layer and a built-in slip, and I am pretty much in love. I took a close up so you could see the subtle grey snake print (which I think is a lot more chic than a more bold print like this). Also, good hair day (and hot pink lips!):
The shoes are old Chie Mihara by way of eBay, but you can find similar colors or a pretty close suede/buckle detail (or these if you want a lower heel) this fall. I won't bother talking about the bag since I have carried it every day since I bought it. That's the sign of a good investment, wouldn't you say?
So what do you think? Would you rock the snakeskin? Or do I look one step away from an '80's hair band video?

  1. I tried on that dress at ON on Friday and I just couldn't decide. The size I tried on was maybe just a tad too small? Also, it felt just a teeny bit short on me (my legs aren't as great as yours), but I could maybe imagine it with boots. I just wasn't sure it was super flattering on me. It looks great on you, though! Kind of making me rethink it.

    1. I wore it this weekend with grey tights and brown boots and liked it even more! I was between sizes but sized up to keep it from pulling when I sat down.

    1. They are Chie Mihara, at least a couple of years old. I bought them off of eBay and they didn't come with a box, so I don't know the style name. I'm sorry I'm not more help!
