Here's the new dress I bought on Sunday. It's a halter-top which is a style I'm not familiar with. It took me a little while to figure out how to wear it. Are you guys comfortable with these?
I like the cut and color of the dress. And I tried new poses and tricks to make the pictures more playful. I hope you enjoy them. Please give me your thoughts. Thanks!
PANDYYY!!! <333
ReplyDeleteAside from the pillow pet, I love that purple shade! it's so vivid and fun. And those are the cutest shoes! You know I love polka dots. =) Great deal!
That purple is great on you and I love me a good polka dot shoe!! I think halter necklines are really flattering and most of my swim suits are halters.
ReplyDeleteI love halter dresses, I think they are so fun and flirty! This color is great and it looks fabulous on you! This is a great twirling dress!!
ReplyDeleteWoo! That looks so great on you. And the espadrilles are a great match. I think halter tops can be great on many people. I'm not fond of ones that tie because I always fear it'll come undone. But I do like the ones with button closures. I like the fun poses. My favorites are the table ones because I can see the whole outfit though.
ReplyDeleteI. love. those. shoes. The dress and the shoes are so vintage -- great idea! Plus, Pandy is the best accessory ever :)
ReplyDeleteI love those dresses! They' re so fun and ladylike! In fact I'm wearing the same kind of dress in green as I'm writing this! (weird, right?) I think you look fab and somehow you look younger in every post (maybe the good make-up tricks?)! Many kisses :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty dress, and it looks great on you! I personally like halter styles but find them difficult to wear because of the bra situation, and because I find it difficult to gauge in which situations exposed shoulders and back are okay modesty-wise... putting on a cardigan on top ruins half the fun! Also, if they're made of a sturdier fabric, you have to beware of not tying them too tight, else you'll get a cramped neck before long. Yours doesn't look like it's doing that, though! Look at me being over-analytical again, oh my... I also love that the panda is in the pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great color. Very pleasing to the eye!

I don't think I have any halter dresses. They're really cute though. They remind me of Marilyn Monroe. I think this looks adorable on you, especially with the shoes and shades!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I've had the chance to check in on your blog and I must say you are looking WONDERFUL! Beautiful dress, and I am loving your hair. :)

ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger, this was not a flattering look on me. As I matured (interpret this any way you wish) the halter style look suits me best. Your shoulders and arms look very sexy in the halter dress. It's a look I strive for. Well done!
ReplyDeletesuch a cute dress
ReplyDeletei usually don't wear halters because i don't have appropriate boobage. lol
brett
You wear that dress beautifully! And you look happier then I think I've ever seen you.
ReplyDeletei can't pull off halter styles, they make me feel all boobs and I'm not comfortable. Must be the good job those nuns at Catholic school did on me;)
This looks great on you! I'm not very large breasted so I doubt that a dress like this would be very flattering to me. I can only imagine figuring such a cut out would be.
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be a good cut for you actually! The color is beautiful, of course; but the halter style is very flattering. I was looking at how you have your make up.....love the lipstick and was wondering if you had ever tried false eyelashes. Hugs to you! ~Serene
ReplyDeleteAlly! You look absolutely stunning in this dress. And you look oh so very happy. I love it. I love your hair. I love your makeup. Am I saying the word "love" too much?
ReplyDeleteLOVE

Ally, this colour, this style - THIS is a great look on you. I think this is my favourite look of yours ever!
ReplyDeleteHalters are tricky to wear for most women who have anything larger than an A-cup (or a very perky B-cup) boob. For someone like me, a very complicated strapless bra with adjustable halter neck strap is needed, and even then, too much cleavage is exposed for my taste.
However, this is such a flattering style on many women - but on you, because you have such nice wide shoulders, the way the halter makes an inverted V up to your face it really balances them perfectly. This is your perfect style.
It plays up this (excellent) feature of yours, while also drawing the eye up to the face...and down to the cleavage...and back up to the face (and don't even get me started on the legs!). Fabulous!
You look gorgeous, I love those sunnies! xx
ReplyDeletethis color looks amazing on you! and the halter is so flattering on your shoulders...i love the look.
ReplyDeleteI really like the color of your hardwood floors. BEST COMPLIMENT EVER, right?
ReplyDeleteI think the halter top looks great on you. I have broad masculine shoulders and I actually think that halter tops are more flattering for them than normal tank tops. Maybe I'm just crazay.
Anywho, I think you wore yours great. Also love the shoes you paired with the dress. I see polka-dots, and I like.
wow you look amazing.. ILOVETHATDRESS!! I have one just like it in red.. but never go anywhere to wear it!! I really enjoyed your post about your weekend as well.. you are a very good writer.. I love how you said the other biker splinter off.. such a great description!
ReplyDeleteyou are getting more and more courageous and I totally am inspired and impressed!! you are awesome!! xoxo J
You not only bought a halter dress -- You bought a revealing halter dress. LOVE IT. You totally pull off this look. Like Ashley said, halters are great for showing off defined shoulders.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of you with the shades. Super adorable!

Nice dress, love the colour too.
ReplyDeleteI have a similar style halter dress in red.
You look adoooorable with the sunglasses!!!!! I like halters, but unfortunately, they look terrible on me. :( you pull it off beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI really love the colour on you- I find halter tops annoying but they look so cute on! And Pandy is such a great accessory :)
ReplyDeleteCute photos and that is a nice dress. I like the color a lot too.
ReplyDeleteYes, halter top dresses are fine just need the right bra.
I like your sandals too.

I've never been much of a halter top wearer, but that would be because twelve years of swimming left me with very broad, big shoulders. In fact, I try to stay away from shoulder baring anything, but usually give in during the summertime because of the heat. With that said, you, I must say, look fabulous in the style! I love the pose in the first picture. It's very feminine and very natural. And of course, I love the shoes! You know me, I'm a sucker for anything polka dot.
ReplyDeleteI love a halter-neck on you! It's tricky with boobage and arm chub for most of us....
ReplyDeleteI don't really like necklaces with halter-necks though... you lose the impact of the neckline. Splashy earrings and bracelets are a better pick. You also have to be careful with hoop earrings with this style of dress... it can geta bit "around the way girl".
With that lovely sheeny drapey fabric, the espadrilles are a bit too casual... but the concept of ankle-straps with that dress is good. Try a dressier pair?
You look Stunning in that dress! It is very Marilyn Monroe. GORGEOUS. Those are some HOT shoes too!
ReplyDeleteThis shade of purple (blue? blurple? whatever) is amazing on you.
ReplyDeleteI myself am not a fan of the halter because they have a tendency to make my already broad shoulders look even more linebacker-ish. It doesn't do that to you, so I'd say this is definitely a style you can rock.
My first thought was, "Wowee, lookout, Marilyn!!" This style and color are really flattering on you, and I love the playful choice in shoes (and stuffed animal accessories, lol). It's obvious how good you feel in this dress. You look radiant!
ReplyDeleteNicely worn !
ReplyDeleteI like the color and how it fits, I see that many other bloggers coincide on it looking very Marylin.... Can you imagine doing a remake of that scene where Marylin's dress is blown up ?
The halter dress is very pretty and great for the summer. Reminds me of a sweet afternoon on a picnic blanket. And I love the colour on you.
ReplyDeleteThe bra situation is hard with those dresses. I try to look for dresses with built in bras or go bra-less *blushes*. But looks like you handled the bra situation perfectly.
The colors you are choosing for yourself in these updated pictures are so lively, bright and contrast your skin tone and smile perfectly. Its a very fun, upbeat beautiful choices.
ReplyDeleteI do love the sandals!!! The pokadots add so much to it :)
(some day you have to teach me how to accessorize! because you got it down to a science!)
