Also, dresses with attached tie belts usually bug me. They are hard to tie and make pretty in the back, if you layer over the dress you can end up with a tail sticking out, etc. A great solution I've found (along with many other bloggers and Flickr Wardrobe Remix gals) is to bring the ties to the front first and twist them a bit and then tie them in a simple square knot in the back over their layering piece.

i love the art deco feel of your dress as well as the tie wrapping tip!
Love the dress pattern and it looks like it can be dressed up or down. You look great in violet and purple and those shoe-booties are so cool! Love the flowers on the sides.
Girl purple is your color! You look like a beautiful fall crysanthimum.
any ideas how to do this look with a wrap dress? i feel like there must be a way! i just got one on sale and i wish i could wear it now that it's a little colder.
I love this dresss - no I love this entire look!!
