Ask And You Shall Receive

A reader suggested awhile ago that I wear my dresses over jeans and although this goes against my dresses for dresses sake mantra, I decided to give it a whirl. Here are some of my takes on dresses over pants.

I really like the first outfit, it's fab. And the last one is nica and basic (basic in a good way) + it's very cute with the ribbon in your hair.
I love your shoes in oufit no2!

...um, i ment to say the outfit is nice, not nica (whatever that is)

It's pretty! I really like the first outfit, the dress is so lovely...

Robin Claire said...

Love the third! I like this look on you.

Wow, thanks for trying the idea out. ANd I must say, I like the looks on you! You can pull anything off. I really like the first and the last ones, but all are super! The first is very spring wear due to colors, and the last (think the most fave pic) is more fall winter. But I love them!!!!

I love these! I've always secretly scoffed at pants over dresses, but these look so expert and effortless!

i love your flowered dress :)

how balenciaga is the floral dress!? gosh that sounded like a such a pretentious statement, but it's so similar, amazing. i really like the purple jeans, the perfect shade.

i love the floral dress with the purple. i think coloured jeans - esp if the co-ordinate with the dress - work really well. mainly as there seems to be a point to wearing them, rather than it looking like you just slung on a dress over your basic denims.

Cute outfits! My fav is the picture bottom left - love the dress and the shoes are so special!

you look yute but this isn´t my cup of tea - I mean, I wea a dress because I don´t want to wear pants.

Isa said...

cute, is whatI wanted to say. ridiculously cute.

Wow! I love love love the purple jeans...I spent years looking for jeans like those when I was in my purple phase without any luck...they are fabulous!

I adore the second outfit...its perfectly put together. The purple belt with the jeans and the cute pumps tying back to the black dress.

I really like the length of the dress in the last one...and the scarf in your hair..and then the bright cardi really stands out...its a great outfit too.

You should definately do the dress over jeans more often it suits you...and its great for when its cold!

All your dresses are beautiful. Anyway, which one did you like the most? I think the last one is so perfect!

coco said...

I love the last look with the grey jeans
they look so great with the red

enc said...

Wow, this is great. I'm really into the purple—especially with your hair. Nice one!

bronwyn said...

I think it looks really great. My favourite outfit is the one with the blue & green floral print dress and the purple pants. The purple pants are killer.

Anna Pope said...

I could never decide if I like or not the whole jeans-over-dress look but I have to admit that you really do pull it off.

I love love love the purple jeans, the color is so pretty!

Miss Woo said...

The floral dress and sanda in the third picture is very Balenciaga! And love the purple jeans..

addicted said...

very cute. the second to last look is very balenciaga and i adore the simplistically chic vibe of the last shot!

piffig said...

I like the look in the last picture, because of the shortness of the dress. In general though my feelings on dresses over jeans, or pants, is, um, "don't". Mainly because it reminds me of 1997 when everyone wore those horrid jazz pants with skirts stitched onto them.

Ashley said...

Well, it's just my opinion, but your legs look much better in tights ;0)

Jill said...

I really love the forest green and purple combo. Looking great as per usual.

Nadine said...

I love the last look: cute pants.

susie_bubble said...

Jeans definitely work in these cases...especially as they're skinny enough.... I'll never know how flares under dresses work...

Ninja said...

I really like the first and last one, I've never been a fan of dresses over jeans but you seem to make it work.

Adele said...

yeah its a really nice idea looks great... i love the last outfit!x

Sarah said...

I remember when dresses-over-jeans was a big trend when I was in 7th grade, but this looks so much better!

T said...

The first dress and the purple pants are amazing!

I discovered your blog last night and proceeded to read every single post. I read a lot of blogs, but this is definitely my favourite one. I love your blog because it has so much character. I especially love your posts on different artists. This blog is just extraordinary!

Camilla said...

I like the first look a lot! The shirt dress is really cute. Where did you get it?

Anonymous said...

The last one works best. I always think you should only wear jeans under dresses which are nearly too short to be dresses!

diamondcanopy said...

Those purple jeans are perfect! I occassionaly wear jeans under my shorter dresses...

JuliAM said...

love the look with the gray jeans and red cardi, so cute!

AlicePleasance said...

They look nice too! I love the purple jeans :-)

annah said...

i love the middle two! the shoes, the colours...

the blue floral dress reminds me a little of a balenciaga dress...

beautiful!

and thanks SO much for the advice! what an amazing shoot!!!

i like it - especially since the jeans are all skinny fit, so it's almost the same as wearing them over leggins.
