Outfit of The Day: Grayson Changemaker Dress Review.

There's nothing that quite says "worst blogger ever" like reviewing a dress that's nearly sold out forever, am I right? But even though I'm bummed to discover Grayson too late, I have to show you this dress anyway:

This is the Changemaker dress in liquid flannel and I absolutely love it. I've had it less than a week and I've already worn it out twice. It's not, like, figure flattering but sometimes you just want a dress you can throw on without thought and out the door you go, looking pretty damn good. Sadly, because Grayson is shutting down everything is final sale, so please take note of that. The Changemaker is still available in tissue cotton in a bunch of colors and in the liquid flannel  in a few colors including a very cute gray plaid. I was a bit worried about "liquid flannel" but it's Lyocell and not at all flannel-y, just heavier than cotton with a good drape and weight. 

I'm wearing the size 3 which is a medium and it's perfect. I probably could've even gone with a 2, but I wanted it to be loose and easy and it was final sale, so I didn't want to chance it. Because I know final sale is a risk, I feel it's my duty to let you know that LOFT has a fairly similar drop waist dress in two colors. I'm wearing the Grayson dress with my new-to-me M.Gemi Greta clogs though I think this pair at Madewell would totally fit the bill (and they're on sale if you're an Insider!) However...

I was feeling fancy so I tried it on with my new Loeffler Randall Emilia sandals (that are technically my wedding shoes but they're also just really cute dressy sandals that I hope to wear a lot.) They were a splurge but they are so freaking fun and pretty! Nordstrom has some of the other colors on sale, just FYI. Everyone needs one pair of really fun shoes! My bag is, of course, my Clare V. Midi Sac and woof, do I like this green one. On to details: 

I'm wearing my Gorjana herringbone chain with my vintage turquoise bead necklace because I think a black dress needs some color! For something similar, I think this chunky baby would be so striking against black and this cheap-and-cheerful option from H&M is basically exactly my vibe. 

And one final look at my Emilia sandals because they are so fun and the heel is perfect. (Marianne calls her pair "my tamales.")

  1. I have wanted a pair of those LR sandals for years and am so glad to see them on you. What a great wedding purchase! You'll have the fun of wearing them on your big day AND for years to come. What a smarty pants you are :)

  2. Darn, I should have bought the Changemaker dress. I thought the Artist dress might look better on me, so I ordered it (final sale) and it looks terrible on me. This looks amazing on you, and great for all seasons!

    1. Ugh, I'm sorry the Artist didn't work for you. I find the Changemaker much easier overall and I'm already seeming them listed on Poshmark...

  3. Thanks for reviewing this dress! I bought this dress at the beginning of the closeout sale and loved it so much that I ordered more in multiple colors! It’s a great dress and looks great on virtually every age and size lady! Easy to wear and style and so comfortable!
