OOTD- Flower Power






Have you ever worn something that was a little bit out of your comfort zone and you weren't quite sure you could pull off? That would be me with this dress. I first spotted it on The Look For Less as an alternative to this pretty Rebecca Taylor print that came out last season that I loved so much. I am a big fan of Rebecca Taylor and her flower power (and love of the leopard too), but I would be giving you tales similar to Confessions of a Shopaholic with some serious dodging and hiding from creditors if I would allow myself to be wooed every time I spotted something from Rebecca. That's all to say that this pretty dress was much more pleasing to this bargainista.

At what point does a grown woman stop buying clothes in the junior section? I know there will always be an item of exception that doesn't look like it is strictly for teens. And of course you should wear what makes you feel good, but I do wonder when you determine if something cute that you might have worn at 16 or 21 still works for you? Thoughts?
