Tie Dye Tied

Tie Dye



Tied?





Or Untied?
Dress: Forever 21 (Similar Here)
Sandals: Impo (Get it Here)
Earrings: Forever 21
Clic Clac Bracelet: Hermes
Bamboo Bangles: Express (If u have $ to burn see this)
I'll be the first to admit that it has been a long and busy work week!  I am ready to enjoy a relaxing weekend!  So what do we think of this dress?  Do we like it tied or untied?  Personally I like it tied.  However, with a gust of wind, photographed at the right angles, you can see the full effect of the tie dye pattern!  Can you say tie dye tied really fast 3 times?  

Enjoy your weekend!

  9. Perfect for a hot day. I can even see adding a wide, tan belt with nude heels for a dresser look.

  10. Gorgeous dress Bessie. I think I like it tied too just so then it doesn't overwhelm you. But it looks like so much fun!

  12. You are looking lovely in this cheerful outfit. Its a great summer outfit !
    Here in our country, tie and die stoles [we call them "dupattas"} in cotton are very popular. We wear these stoles with our traditional outfit called "salwar kameez".
    The sandals are beautiful!
    have a nice day,

  15. this is a great casual dress and a great color on you. i personally prefer it tied - with such a small frame a large fabric like that with no structure can really overwhelm you.

  17. I like it styled all of these ways, I think because of the nice colour. Happy weekend Bessie! xo

  22. lovely!! this is a look I see often over here in Oregon and I always love it (as long as it has a stylish element too it... you see a lot of hippie looks like this too). I love it untied or tied- both wonderful!

  31. What a beautiful dress, Bessie! I like it tied, but on you, untied looks amazing too! Hey, I tried tie-dyed multiple times and towards the end it sounded- TaDad!!

  42. Love the maxi! Perfect for the super duper hot weather in Lebanon :P
    I'd like it with a brown belt, cz I like the tied look but not a big fan of the actual belt. You could use that as a headband or to tie on your handbag :) It's what I usually do with the belts that come with dresses in the same pattern.

    ReplyDelete
  43. You look great...love the bracelets :)

  44. a perfect dress for the summer! fun and very flowy!!

  54. Hi Bessie. Prefer the dress tied, you could add another style of belt as another option. You look very cool in the dress with hot humid weather we are having right now. As you know I adore Maxi dresses, so versatile and feminine.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I love the dress tied :) gives it more of a defined look :)
    have a happy weekend :)

  58. I like it both ways. Tied for dinner and untied for running around as a bathing suit cover up.

    ReplyDelete
  59. ah, so cute! I love how your dress transforms into beach comfy when you take the belt off, and when its on its more of a going out/ party type of a look.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Definitely tied to show off your figure! Love that first shot (bracelets) - nice field of depth. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  66. I prefer it tied too! Tying it at the waist accentuates your curves; it looks a bit too shapeless for my liking untied. The color is very pretty on you Bessie!

    ReplyDelete
  67. At first I thought tied. Then I looked again and thought untied. Then I realized I can't pick one over the other. There are pros both ways and I'm at a loss for cons.

    Have a great weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  68. I like it tied too. and I actually think almost every a bit wider dress should be tied or combined with a waist-belt. your Hermes bracelet is gorgeous btw!

  69. I vote tied to define your waist and show how small it is. Love your Hermes Clic bracelet! I have a red version that I adore :)

    ReplyDelete
  70. Your dressing reminds me of Bali. I like this type of resort-style printed clothes, so relaxing......

    ReplyDelete
  71. The dress is gorgeous and in my humble opinion for city wear, tied is better but on vacation or at the beach, untied looks more relax.. love the Hermes bangle too.. love is under-rated, more like drool ;)

  80. Either! Though I must say, the movement is spectacular untied. I could only see myself doing that on a beach vacation-- would feel too undone otherwise.

  88. I think I would like it untied on the beach and maybe tied with a different belt for a different look. Sometimes those flimsy ribbon ties don't do a dress justice. I also love how you paired those express bracelets with the Hermes!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Do you want me to get a splint for my tongue or what? I can't say that!
    I really never liked the whole tie dye thing (too psychedelic) but this dress is very pretty and I like it's print (not too out there tie dye). I like it tied as well since it shows off your small waist.
    And you win! Keenest eye on the blog! haha I had taken my watch off to bathe my daughter and forgot to put it on (and I never forget!)
    So you say you can put it away but it sure doesn't show!
    Happy Sunday to you and hope you get some much needed rest!

  92. I've seen so many lovely maxi-dresses in the blogsphere and it's time for me to get one as well! You look so nice...both tied and untied for a more casual look...I would also try to style it with a brown leather belt if you want to play more in the accessory department. I hope you are enjoying a great w-e!
