This outfit features two styling elements that are rare for me.
The cowl neck and the added belt.
I adore the tie, and low V at the back of this dress.

I love this shoot, Laura, and the Fragrant Valley dress is so beautiful. I like the belted look on you -- I think you should do it more often!
And the Shining Eddies bracelet is absolutely stunning. Just the perfect complementary piece to the FV dress.
Happy Saturday!
Jamie,
This and my OOTD with the Marianne Tank are my first two attemps with belts.
My waist is large and undefined. Most of the time a belt only draws attention to that problem. This width seems to work. Wider or narrow belts do not.
I have ordered about 10 belts from Anthro. I kept only 3. It's frustrating. I can't seem to make the belted Cardi look work at all.
Wow! You look amazing and it appears that everything you have on was meant to go together! Love the shoes on you. I think the pic in front of the door with you looking to the side belongs in the anthro catalog.
I received my package. Thank you. I have yet to try anything on as I have been undone by a raging head cold since Thursday which just seems to be getting worse. I promise soon.
Chefjess,
My photographer is fabulous. He really makes me look younger than I am. I was supposed to take a photo afterwards, but stupidly forgot.
Get well soon. Sickness on weekends is no fun at all. Please send me pictures of your outfits with both dresses. If you don't mind.
Laura
The Fragrant Valley dress may be one of my all-time favorite Anthro dresses. It looks gorgeous on every blogger I've seen it on (including you) and I like how you casual'd it out for regular wear with the belt.
How do you find the sizing on the Chie shoes? I LOVE most of their styles but their prices give me heartburn! Are they comfy and worth the splurge?
