Alary Shirtdress Redux

"Ground your sense of worth till the spark of morning burns and all those searching eyes could scold your tender mind."
- Broken Bells

I've been in a bit of a fashion slump lately. Over the last few days, I've pretty much decided that I hate most of the clothes in my closet. I really wish I could just wear pajamas everyday. I have no problems picking out pajamas at night. However, mornings are a different story. Each morning, I just stand in my closet feeling sad and uninspired by the clothes staring back at me. Yes, my clothes stare. It's very rude of them, especially first thing in the morning. I'm sure this slump has more to do with my attitude and less to do with the actual quality (and quantity) of my clothes. I guess I'm just all out of creative juices at the moment, so I decided to rely on you guys for inspiration today.

I'm wearing everyone's favorite dress again, the Alary Shirtdress! I know for some of you there is nothing that can help this hideous creation short of burning it, but I have attempted to take your styling advice, dear readers, and have added some touches that perhaps make this dress look a little less granny. First, I opted to ditch the "little old lady" bun and wear my hair down this time around. Second, I added a thicker belt. It's still teal, but a thicker version since it was suggested a less dainty belt would help with the granny factor. Last, I added some Frye's. My new motto is: "When all else fails, add some Frye's." Frye boots pretty much make everything look better.

So, what do you think? Is Alary Shirtdress Redux an improvement over the original? Or should I bid the redux adieu and make this dress one less thing that stares at me in the morning?
