A “Faux Wrap Dress”?

Ladies my April box from Stitch Fix was one of the best boxes I've received in a long time.  I received this gorgeous, and comfortable "Faux Wrap" dress in that box.  As usual, I won't let you know if I kept it or not until after I review each piece separately and then do a review a post in a few weeks.


For those of you wondering, yes, you are getting another sneak peak at my new living room, but it is STILL not done so I can't do a big reveal post yet.  I'm still looking for a couple of pieces needed to complete the room.  I will say, although it didn't turn out as I envisioned it, I am accepting the new reality and enjoying it.  I ended up LOVING my new recliner (the piece I was most worried about) that you can see in the picture below,  and would you believe, I did not like the new leather chair in this room at all so I moved it to another room?  UGH!  What a huge waste of money that was.  This remodel has been a total disaster and has discouraged me from ever remodeling a room again, but I will tell you more about that in the big reveal post.  I have the feeling that will be a very long post. 


Anyway, back to fashion.  The dress is a comfortable, soft jersey knit.  It feels wonderful on!  The name of the dress is Leota Finnley Jersey Faux Wrap Dress.  It's called a "Faux Wrap" because it looks like a wrap, but you actually pull it over your head to get it on. It's actually quite nice, because you get all the benefits of a wrap dress (wrap dresses are figure flattering on everyone!) without having to worry about a breeze blowing it open revealing things you don't want seen.  It's actually an ingenious idea, and I wish all my wrap dresses were made like this.


I paired the dress with a faded denim jacket, nude sandals, and a clutch from Sole Society that I also received in this Fix.


The wrap dress is sleeveless, but it has a thick shoulder band so I can wear a regular bra with it.  I really detest spaghetti straps and I usually avoid most spaghetti strap dresses.  I like that it is sleeveless because I can wear the dress when it's hot but I can also easily cover my arms with a jacket or cardigan too.  Perfect!




I really liked the colors in this dress,  especially the teal.  I don't have anything like this in my closet already.  At first, I thought it was a bird print, but upon closer inspection I discovered it was not.

Have a Great Day and Happy Mother's Day!  Amy

  5. That is such a cute dress and so nice with the denim jacket :)

    I can't do faux wrap dresses, being petite I need ones I can adjust. I do have one from the Target Dannii Minogue petite collection that's a faux wrap and fits like a dream - I love it for work!

    Hope that you are having a wonderful weekend :)
