Pent Up Passion

After a long bout of working too hard and being ill, I'm like a kid at Christmas -- I want to play!

Here's a new dress I thrifted ($10), along with a cardigan I got to complement it ($5).  The bracelet was a gift from sweet Marilou.

Does the dress look better with or without the cardigan?

    You look stunning. I like it with and without. The red cardi you have on in April 2nd's post would be a nice colour to add =)

    I agree with Jaclyn. The style looks great either way. You look great :)

    Definitely without! It looks younger, more fresh, and a lot sassier without the cardigan. And not to mention, you have great arms, so you can most certainly get away with not wearing anything over the dress!

    It suits you really well! I like it both but I think it makes you look more feminem with the cardigan.

    Gorgeous bracelet!

    The whole outfit is fabulous... I like the dress with and without the cardigan! The cardigan definitely makes the outfit a little dressier.

    I think you hit paydirt because the dress looks good either way and that's not always easy to find! Even more impressive is the necklace also compliments everything. In short: You win at life.

    In common with the majority, I am going with both. The cardigan changes the look and feel of the dress, which is great because it gives you two looks. Demure or sassy, your call. :-)

    I like it better with the cardigan, because it deemphasizes your shoulders, and that curved part helps present the illusion of smaller waist/bigger hips.

    That, and spaghetti straps are a tool of the devil.

    Very well pulled-together outfit- I'm crazy about that necklace!

    Without! You have fabulous shoulders!

    I'm with Sheila; I prefer it without the cardigan. I feel like the cardigan is a bit heavy for the dress, and anyway your arms look great; let them be seen! This dress would be cute with some bright yellow or red accessories too, for a more summery look.

    I think hands down without the cardigan. That's a wonderful dress, and you have great arms and shoulders!
