I'm partial to cardigans. I agree with Gracey, though - the pearls take away from the patterned dress/shell combo. I usually never comment on outfits, but as I know you are always looking for honest feedback from us, its something that actually stuck out to me. The bracelets + ring look awesome! That is a great shade of red polish, definitely pops. Do you have a fuchsia nail polish (not a glittery one, just a solid color) I think you'd rock that well, also! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271651714811767008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-89707816539408452852012-09-10T15:44:49.521-04:002012-09-10T15:44:49.521-04:00I love the print on the dress and love the pop of ...I love the print on the dress and love the pop of red underneath. I agree with others that the dress will look great over a long-sleeve turtleneck too.<br /><br />My only advice is to tone down the jewelry some; it's a bit much with it all on at once. Personally, I'd remove the pearls and just go with the bracelets and rings. Unless, of course, a lot of jewelry is your thing, then I say go for it!Gracey the Gianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13974894403938125193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-90463984216220071652012-09-10T13:09:21.522-04:002012-09-10T13:09:21.522-04:00Thank you, Emma, for the constructive advice.

I agree that it would look great with a long sleeve stop underneath and tall boots. Wow, it would be great. The accessories are just the perfect touches.

My favourites among your finishing touches are the necklace from Lynne and that incredible ring - the scale of both pieces is just right. <br /><br />I would be tempted to stick all your bracelets together on your right wrist to play on the asymmetry of your belted waist and let the ring shine. It's a figure-flattering trick to do bracelets on just one side, as it has the eye move diagonally rather than horizontally, but this may not always be a priority. See what you think. <br /><br />As always, that vivid pink is wonderful on you, and a great combination with the print. You look very stylish! <br />Amber of Butane Anvilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085975055424100573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-9791274739499286812012-09-09T08:43:28.533-04:002012-09-09T08:43:28.533-04:00I really like this "middle ground" look,...I really like this "middle ground" look, Ally - although I wouldn't label it middling at all - the great pop of hot pink against the graphic print makes a fab statement, and the bling is wonderful.
