This Anthropologie dress, however, got both the jaw-drop and the audible gasp. It's just so gorgeous. {I don't think I've mentioned it on this blog before, but red poppies are absolutely my favorite flower. Stick them on anything and I'm guaranteed to love it.} I created an outfit around it, just for fun:
1. Homegrown Dress, $158, Anthropologie {link}
2. Featherweight cotton long cardigan, $69.50, J. Crew {link}
3. Braided Claudette necklace, $16, Fred Flare {link}
4. Colin Stuart T-strap wedge, $29, Victoria's Secret {link}
5. Fossil Latigo C-Buckle Belt, $28, Dillard's {link}
I think a boyfriend cardigan, with the sleeves scrunched up to the elbows, would look great with this dress. Add in the shoes, though, and it becomes a little too Grandma's garden party. I added an edgy necklace and menswear belt {which I would wear over the cardigan} to make it feel more modern.
What do you think? Am I crazy for my intense reactions to clothing? Are you a little afraid of me now? What about the dress? Breath-taking, isn't it? And do you have any thoughts about the outfit -- is it something you would wear for spring?

You're not crazy at all! I had absolutely the same reaction to this dress yesterday:

I really love the floral trend for spring!
oh it's gorgeous and i love the outfit you've put together around it.
That print is fantastic! The cut of the dress isn't my personal favorite (for hip reasons), but I really like the outfit you put together around it.
This is the poppy dress I have been drooling over: Vintage Poppy Erica Dress
How does one wear a strapless dress modestly? :D
I love the outfit you put together, there is just something about a great pattern on a dress....it just makes you grin!

so i found a favorite modest dress of the season and figured i just had to share... it's pricey, but i might have to buy it. http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-386-fifth-ave.aspx What do you think?
Carla -- I have been eying that dress for I don't even know how long. I love it. I love the print, I love the retro feel, I love all of it. And, if it's in your budget, I totally say to go for it!
