anthropologie de chelly dress fitting review and styling options

hello there! just a quick review i had to share with you. though the print is still growing on me, the cut of this anthropologie de chelly dress is amazing enough to make me want it:
 

i love the sweetheart neckline. the colors seemed to work with my skin tone too. the print and belt are my only concerns. they might be a little too western for me to fully embrace, but i do think a different belt would make a world of difference. it fits true to size, i am wearing an 8 for your reference.























and now of course, some styling options for the dress.
option #1 is full of whimsy:


option #2 has the western spirit, with the good ol' looping lanes and some big hoop earrings:

  2. thanks so much meg! i am still debating on the dress, it will probably be a sale pick for sure. especially since it's -1 degrees outside (very hard to think about spring or summer!)
