I have a crush on Wal*Mart’s To The Max line. It started with the purchase of an airily knit cardigan with chiffon ruffled trim. Then, I found this simply genius jersey dress and the perfect gray jeans. (I have yet to wear the jeans because I don’t want to spoil their incredible awesomeness with an unworthy inaugural outfit.) My only complaint is that the sizing is inconsistent across the line and the degree difference between sizes also varies wildly. The sizing is so unpredictable that I would not purchase online. It’s a good thing the store is only a bike ride away from my house.

I love the cut and the colour of the dress. What is the fabric like?
ReplyDeleteCute dress! Walmart?
ReplyDeletesuper cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the necklace!
ReplyDeleteooooohhh. I want want want that necklace, even though it would be virtually impossible for me to wear. You look fab!
ReplyDeletelooking lovely as always kasmira!
ReplyDeletein the spirit of your recession challenge/working with your wardrobe, i have a theme of my own coming up that i wondered if you'd be interested in participating in? details here: http://ohhoneyno.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/theme-week-get-a-clue/
let me know! i think you'd rock the challenge ;)
that necklace is just To. Die. For.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit (I would totally wear this). The dress, the necklace, the shoes, the bangles. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI was also wondering about the material. The texture looks like it would make a nice shirt (for me of course:). FANTASTIC pairing with the necklace (and other accessories). This is REALLY a nice outfit. You've done it again!
ReplyDeleteGreat shoes!!! Love how you accessorized!
ReplyDeletepretty...love the accessories
ReplyDeleteThe dress and the shoes are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWalmart has some really cute stuff sometimes, i want to go check out that line now :)
Love the dress. I too am really liking Wal-Mart's new line but thought it was just me that was having problems with the sizing.
ReplyDeleteLove it!! i was also surprised to see some Norma kamali items at Wal-Mart!! Tres chic mama!
ReplyDeleteI'm completely in love with that line, too. I've bought probably 12 pieces from it and I love them all.
ReplyDeleteUnderstated gorgeousness!

I am seriously COVETING that amazing necklace!
ReplyDeleteCUTE!!!! great accessories!!!
ReplyDeleteThat necklace is killer!
ReplyDeleteRemarkable necklace. Well, all of it, really.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is a fairly thin polyester jersey. It isn't the best...but doesn't show lumps like some jersies do. I wore a slip on the bottom half for minimal clingage. Jersey gets a bad rap, but I've found that it looks great with the proper foundation garments.
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit, ESPECIALLY the necklace! Makes me want to make one now hehe..
ReplyDeletewow, you have great legs. I think I will be stopping at Wal-mart soon.
ReplyDeleteLove it all...I agree with what u said concerning To The Mas sizing.
ReplyDeleteCan I just say, I have been following this photo blog for about a year now and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ALMOST WITHOUT EXCEPTION ALL THE OUTFITS YOU PUT TOGETHER!!! Sounds cheesy, but u r a fashion inspiration to me! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the dress, but the accessories are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love your outfits! But isn't it much having brown accessories and grey shoes with a navy dress? Not too many colors?
ReplyDeleteI am saying that because I've recently had my friends complain about one of my outfits - I wore navy dress with peach scarf and purse and light brown shoes/ Just wanted to know your opinion
Gasp! Where did you get the necklace? It is FABULOUS.
ReplyDeleteElena - umm....I have a pretty high mixed color tolerance. Today's color mix is pretty low key, in my opinion. Your outfit sounds just fine. I think you need at least three colors to keep it interesting.
ReplyDeletejennifer - I bought it at Pangaea's store on Ludlow avenue in Clifton (Cincinnati, OH).
Thanks for the comprehensive fabric info, Kasmira. I really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThat necklace is all sorts of fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say thank you. I am a frumpy stay at home mom who's never lived out side of small town America (Texas no less) in desperate need of some style. I am clueless. These pictures really help me develop 'an eye' for what looks good. I came across your blog googling 'orange couch'. I also have Charlie Brown affection for that color. Plus I have bright orange hair so I'd better maintain some sort of healthy relationship with it.
ReplyDeleteIt's beyond high time for me to actually post a comment, after now having browsed your blog for several months. I LOVE your use of colour in general.
ReplyDeleteAnd as with everyone else I am I'm lusting after your necklace and amazed at your walmart find!
Oh my goodness that's a gorgeous dress. And pretty pictures.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog.
Kasmira, thanks for sharing, your color theory is very refreshing
ReplyDeletea simple pretty dress + awesome necklace = DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!!

ReplyDeleteAnother great outfit! Once again I feel the dress accentuates you BEAUTIFUL legs! I also love the sort of `60's hippy feel to it.
