Return Chronicles: part 10000


This plaid Alice + Olivia dress was a great bargain at Saks in New York last month. But I've had it for almost a month, the return deadline is looming, and the tags remain attached. I think it should go back but took some photos and tried styling it to make sure I didn't want it. What do you think?


Pros:
Oversized collar makes it visually interesting
Plaid (especially in gray and black) is something I find to be timeless
Shirtdresses are definitely timeless

Cons:
The hem is shorter in the front and my gams are not the greatest
That big collar I like isn't the most flattering on my figure

If you return it, what would you put the $$$ towards instead? That's always the biggest factor for me.

I love it. I think you just need to brighten it up with some Red or Yellow accessories.

It's adorable. Keep it! Wear it! And as Laura said, maybe add a little color.
