What NYC Recessionista Wears: style and comfort

Boy, you’re all going to be super tired of me complaining about this heat wave by the end of the week. Or, you’re suffering just like me and it’s fun to commiserate 🙂

So, I debated about even doing this outfit post because I can’t believe how unflattering this dress looks in photographs.  It’s a shame, because the dress is super comfortable.  And I wanted to wear something super comfortable on Wednesday because it was day four of this ridiculous heat wave.

Maybe I am being a little bit too critical of myself, but do you see how this dress makes me look completely lumpy?

I think it’s a terrible combination of the material and the pattern … but it’s just not photographing very well.

PS — stay tuned for a recap of an Aloxxi + People Stylewatch event I attended on Thursday … it’ll be up later today. That’s where I got this fabulous ‘do!

What do you think of this dress – does it look cute and comfy, or does it make me look like I like my oatmeal lumpy?
