Torrid Eyelet Dress Review 
[I had to include a shot with my Orla Kiely x Uniqlo scarf! Love this flowery graphic goodness!]
[ :: Torrid eyelet party dress c/o (here) :: Gap 1969 denim moto jacket (similar) :: ]
[ :: Orla Kiely x Uniqlo scarf (here, similar):: Dolce Vita x Target wedges (similar) :: ]
[ :: Kate Spade hello sunshine tote (similar) :: Banana Republic bracelet (similar) :: ]
Wore this sunny yellow dress on an otherwise gloomy day over the weekend. Sort of a B.Y.O.S. (bring your own sunshine) attempt, I guess? Anyway, I love fabrics with texture (eyelet, knits, lace, etc) so I was immediately drawn to this dress on Torrid’s website. Next time though, I’ll tie the ribbon in the back or remove it since the look is a little twee with the bow up there in front. haha 🙂 I can’t wait to wear this more in the summer without a jacket or with a thin cardigan–can also see this pairing well with a white blazer. 🙂
Couldn’t think of a better time to bust out my Kate Spade hello sunshine bag either, which regrettably, isn’t available online anymore. If you happen to see it in store somewhere though, I definitely recommend snapping it up! It is too cute, and has the most adorable gold polka dot lining ever. 🙂 I’m just bummed I missed out on the matching straw hat!

    What an adorable look, you certainly would brighten up a gloomy day with such a fun, happy look. That tote is adorable and so is your cuff and those beautiful gold wedges. So pretty!

    Thank you so much for your blog. I have always loved fashion, but as a curvy girl, always found it hard to stay up with what is current. You have a wonderful eye and I am very inspired by your color choices. Thanks for sharing! Aileen

    I love your style! The dress, shoes, and bag are so cute! I'm so in love with this dress. Can you tell me how it fits? Is it true to size? I don't have a Torrid store near me, but I'm dying to order this dress for an upcoming trip to Aruba. Thank you!

      Hi Amy! Thanks! 🙂

      The dress fits true to their size chart and doesn't have a ton of stretch so much sure you check your measurements! 🙂 Have fun in Aruba!!! 😀
