Keep or sell: Kate Spade Natalia ootd


I bought this dress last summer while I was on vacation in Delaware and although I think it is lovely, I've only worn it twice. And in its most recent wearing, shown above, I wasn't crazy about how it looked on me. What do you think?


Should this one move to ebay and clear space for more KS shirtdresses (which I think are more flattering on my figure)?

Outfit details:
Kate Spade Natalia dress (similar KS here; similar dot print here and here)
Nordstrom cardi
Tory Burch Revas
Kors watch; Redraven Studios necklace (c/o); vintage bracelet

I think it looks great on you, but if you haven't reached for it and you feel meh in it sell it!

CAM said...

I love it on you! But, if it is a 10 or 12 I'd also totally buy it from you!

VK said...

I'm not too crazy about it either. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the dress, but it just doesn't have that wow factor, and my policy lately has just been, "if it doesn't wow you, sell it". Just my two cents. :)

I think it looks very nice on you, but if you don't love it, make room for something new in your closet!

I actually think it's flattering on you but looking at the second photo, you don't look like you feel 100% comfortable in it. If you don't feel great in it, get rid of it. Also, in general, if you have to ask the question, then I'd say get rid of it because if you loved it and were comfortable in it, you wouldn't ask the question to your readers.

I agree with the others - I think it looks good on you, but you don't seem to think so, there you go, question answered! A dress should make you feel pretty, not awkward or uncomfortable, don't you think?

Kristin said...

I agree with everyone else. I think it looks great, but if you are questioning it and have only worn it twice, time to get rid of it!

Not loving it either but not sure why...I wonder if the black tights against the white fabric of the dress don't work well together? Have you tried it with bare legs and pumps or sandals?

I think it looks great, but if you're not 100% comfortable in it you should get rid of it.

I think it looks really cute, but like other people have said,

It looks kind of big. Sell it.

This is good advice. Thank you!

Hi Cam! It is an 8 but it runs large. I am going to part with it so lmk if you think an 8 would work. Otherwise I'm sending it to ebayland.

Jesspgh of Consume or Consumed said...

YES! There's nothing outright *wrong* with it but it just isn't the best on me and I have too little closet space to hold onto things about which I feel lukewarm. Thank you!

Jesspgh of Consume or Consumed said...

Thanks! I'm parting ways with it.

Jesspgh of Consume or Consumed said...

Yeah I feel like it ... just isn't my favorite. Thanks so much!

Jesspgh of Consume or Consumed said...

Agreed!

Jesspgh of Consume or Consumed said...

Yeah I've had it for too long to have only worn it twice.

Jesspgh of Consume or Consumed said...

I have worn it with bare legs too. The other time I wore it was bare legged and I was sort of meh about it then also.

Jesspgh of Consume or Consumed said...

Good advice!

Jesspgh of Consume or Consumed said...

Agreed!

Jesspgh of Consume or Consumed said...

Off it goes! Thank you!
