Dressing Young 2026

I love the color and think it’s both seasonal and complimentary to lots of skin tones/hair color.

I do like color and I’d wear colorful beaded necklace or bracelet that has that color in it and some other colors too. I think some blues would be pretty with it - turquoise or even navy. (If the color as shown is true to the dress)

It is a cute dress. I do think some colorful beads would be fun or a gold necklace would make it more elegant. Nice to have options. I’d try it with a few different items to figure out which look suited what I was aiming for at a particular time.

What’s wrong with short skirts? Most of what I own is short skirts. Long skirt looks drab on me. Agree on puffy sleeves. Never owned puffy sleeves.

Just for me. I don’t have the legs for short skirts.

Depends. What do you consider a short skirt? How high above the knee for example?

If a skirt (not a skort) is barely covering my bum - a hard no. One-two inches above the knee - usually fine, but depends on the rest of the outfit.

That is a cute dress and really versatile. I’d style it with these L’Artiste sandals and a gold necklace. I believe it has that tan color in it.

Everyone has been so nice. I am really out of my comfort zone with the color of this dress.

I’m also trying hard to purchase things that I love and will love to wear. And I’m indecisive lol!

They also had this dress which is more in my comfort zone color wise. I’m pondering exchanging.

Quince has this style (for those that like Quince) - I like that they call it a “Popover” dress. I like the blue stripe in this one. But I STILL like @deb922 first choice above the best!

I like the other one much better. I think you should give it a try.

The other one, meaning the first dress or the second?

The light brown one. I like the detail and the texture. It will look good with your hair color. You can do a variety of styles and colors of jewelry and sandals.

Agree! I like the first one better.

I like the solid color better.

I also agree that the solid color dress is more versatile. If you aren’t sure about the color, you can wear a color you favor as a scarf so it’s closer to your face. It’s good to mix it up and the interesting textures and solid color make the dress you 1st chose!

I can see the appeal of the print one, but I suspect you will get more wear out of the solid one. If you travel, for example, it would be a welcome and versatile item in a capsule wardrobe. Day dress with sneakers. Dinnerwear with jewelry and sandals.

I also like the solid color dress better; it reminded me a bit of a honeycomb - accessorize with bees!

Another vote for the solid colored dress! It looks fresh and modern to me, especially with the interesting pattern in the fabric.

I also would get a short necklace with a black leather type strand and a gold pendant. West with black sandals. I do think you would need to bring the black up somewhere else if you wear black sandals

I love L’artiste sandals. I’ve tried a few styles on at DSW but never purchased. Considered a pair of their wedge sandals for son’s outdoor garden semi-formal wedding until I went with a floral print dress.
