When I did my 2011 roundup of favorite buys, I included the See by Chloe Patchwork Print dress that is so comfy and that I enjoy wearing very much. It yields a lot of compliments and generally feels very me without going too far into twee-overload. And I have written before about my tendency to buy multiples when I really like something. So when I found the alternate version (called the Folklore print) on Yoox with a % off and free ship coupon, I decided to take a chance. Now I'm not sure if this print (which sort of evokes tiny garden gnomes or troll dolls... haha) is venturing toward twee in a bad way. What do you think? Sorry for the crappy mirror photo. I haven't had time to take proper ones and the return deadline is fast approaching.

I think it is darling and really looks lovely. In my opinion a keeper--abby @abbala :)
I love the print, but I am partial to crazy florals. I think with some fun accessories you'll chic it up a bit. Maybe add a blazer?
Stackable coupons? Way to go! I just has a coupon stack for Bloomingdale's which amounted to an additional 25% off sale items online. I get irrationally excited about great deals.

I think it might be a bit twee, but I like the cut on you. As long as you don't wear it with shoes with bows on them or something, you should be ok? Maybe with your little studded booties and a leather jacket or like an anorak coat it would be less...gnome-y? I like the detailing on it.
Not crazy about it! It looks a little too yeehaw, old-timey square dance to me. That said, if you love it I'm sure you could mitigate those factors!
i think its pretty cute. nice cut. now i want a bunch of chloe dresses... please do tell more about these stackable coupons!
Hmm, I like the cut. But, yes, it's twee. :)
Fit is nice, pockets are a plus. But evokes little house on the prairie for me. The print on the first version has a cooler, edgier vibe.
Like Alison, at first glance it evokes little house on the prairie for me too. It's really hard to say for sure without seeing a full outfit (I'm sure that shoe/accessory choice here could change the whole vibe). It does fit you perfectly and I love the color.
I think the Patchwork Print version is so much more "you," but it definitely is a nice cut.
It doesn't work. Your image is much more professional, while still being eclectic. This goes too far away from professional to reach a reasonable cost per wear.
