The Sack Dress, Cuter Than A Bathrobe
This is the type of outfit I wouldn't normally blog about. It's essentially a t-shirt, only long enough that I don't have to wear pants with it. It's essentially a sack, a few steps up from a garbage bag (see the saggy diaper butt after a day of wearing it??) But it's a cute garbage bag. It's cool and easy - perfect for a poolside cover-up, quick enough for oversleeping or last minute errands first thing in the morning, and cuter than your bathrobe.
Dress: Banana Republic Factory (got it on sale for $21, although it retails for $49.99) (similar here)
Scarf: Forever21 (similar here)
Sandals: Candies (similar here)
Clutch: Coach (similar here)
Sunglasses: Nordstrom
So why am I letting you see this dress? Believe it or not, I have received more compliments on this dress than anything else in my closet this summer. One evening, the Mr and I were lounging on the couch watching the television (somewhat aimlessly) when he turned to me and said, "Hey, I wanted to tell you something." Like a bunny, my ears perked up, alert to the sound of an impending, ominous conversation.
"I really like you in that dress."
"WHAT??"
"I don't know, maybe it's the way I can grab your butt......"
My head still hurts from what may very well be the world's most exaggerated eye roll.
And I thought, "Out of all the things I wear, this is what you like??"
p.s. I'm linking up with The Pleated Poppy and Transatlantic Blonde for WIWW.

Men are so funny sometimes, aren't they? You do look lovely in that dress though.
Gracey

Your husband sounds like mine!

Oh how funny about your husband! Just when we think we've got them figured out! I think you look cute!
I absolutely LOVE that dress.
I think you look FAB! Polished and put together (the scarf and bracelets did that I think). AMAZING what a difference accessories make!!
Love that dress and it looks so comfortable! You look so pretty in it!
That's such a funny story! Such a cute fun outfit. Love the scarf in your hair.
I love the look! Comfy yet cute! My hubs would probably say the same thing, men are so confusing sometimes ;)
Men. Well you have to wear it again for sure. It looks great on you for sure. Don't you love when you get something cute on sale?

What a great dress! Something about stripes and a comfy silhouette - so perfect for summer. ;)
haha! I like easy dresses like that too. They're the best when you just need something quick and easy to thrown on. Apparently, they have other advantages, as well. :)
Cute and simple. My latest blog post is about an outfit that I wouldn't normally blog about either and it has the same type of vibe as this one :)

Too funny! Isn't it crazy what the husbands like & how simple it usually is compared to all the effort we put in for other outfits that they don't even notice. New follower of your blog from WIWW!
