WIW 3/5: Yellow rose Mad Men dress

It's been warm and sunny here and feels like spring, so I thought I would take the opportunity to debut my yellow rose sheath dress. I bought it at Nordstrom Rack online several months ago. You've seen it as a K/R but this is the first time it's been warm enough to wear it. I love the Mad Men style--definitely feels very 60's to me. I got lots of compliments from coworkers, patients and random strangers...everybody said it was a great spring dress! Like Shannon, I was in a rush to get to work today so it was quick to just pull on a dress and run. I did put on some sheer Clinique Black Honey lipstick though! I paired it with a grey handbag and taupe pumps as it has greyish brown leaves on the dress. I couldn't figure out what jacket to wear with it so I skipped a topper.

    Beautiful! I love how all your grey/taupe accessories have beautiful details and texture that you only notice up close.

    I absolutely LOVE this dress on you Natalie! Looks like we're pull-on-a-dress-when-you're-rushed twins!!! The fit and colour on this dress is divine and I adore the retro vibe of the pattern. The taupe bag and shoes are the perfect accent.

    OMG! I think this is my very favorite outfit that I've ever seen you post! The dress fits you perfectly and the shoes add to the retro vibe. I think you should audition for Don Draper's new secretary (since he's marrying his old one!)

    Adore the dress on you and am in love with those shoes!!!

    I loved this dress before and I adore it now! Taupe accessories are gorgeous - I rarely accessorise but am discovering I like neutral accessories. This was a long time coming to this realisation as most advice says to get bright accessories in a signature colour. What I didn't realise is that advice is for most people who wear neutral clothes - newsflash - I kind of don't. So yeah, the neutral accessories work for you and me, and you make me want a pair of Chie Miharas ^_^

    Love your choice of accessory color with it. And specially nice fabrication seen close up.
    It's such a pretty outfit it's practically fizzy with springtime delirium..

    Beautiful! And your waist looks TINY! So Mad Men!

  • Jewell replied 12 years ago

    That is one FAB dress! And to think you threw this on in a mad dash to get out the door- you sure could've fooled me!

    I was crazy about this dress from the moment you K/R'ed it. Love it with the taupe. So smart!

    Everything works. This is, in my opinion, your best ever on YLF. Is it the color? The style and fit? The accessories? The whole package is really beautiful. Fantastic.

    It was a pretty day here as well and we both wore yellow!

    Lovely! I love the dress. The colors are just divine!

  • modgrl replied 12 years ago

    This dress is super and the outfit is wonderful from head to toe. This is one of those dresses that doesn't even need a lot of accessories. It is so vibrant and bold on it's own.
    Lovely!

  • RandomThoughts (Andrea) replied 12 years ago

    Wow, awesome, Natalie! The style really suits you. Great little piece.

    I am so jealous of your weather and that bright sunny dress. I woke up to SNOW!

  • Lisa replied 12 years ago

    That dress is lovely on you both for fit and color. And the taupe/grey accessories is perfect here. But how fun are those shoes with the star detail!

  • Travelgal Nicole replied 12 years ago

    Great outfit and I love the accessories and the yellow taupe colouring.

  • MsLuna replied 12 years ago

    You look STUNNING Natalie! :)

    Beautiful dress, and I love the gray and taupe accessories! Perfection.

  • rae replied 12 years ago

    You look fantastic in bright yellow! And it is such a happy color, too. I want to see that dress with your Melissas!

  • goldenpig replied 12 years ago

    Rae, that's interesting, I never thought about that combo! Brown or black?
