Scoopback

July 8, 2013


Though they look so pretty on the rack, I’ve always been slightly afraid of swingy, trapeze dresses (let’s be honest here, the pregnant look isn’t exactly great if you’re not expecting). Sometimes, though, all it takes is a slight change to turn things around. The scoopback feature of this Free People frock isn’t only lovely, but really helps balance out the silhouette. It’s officially my new perfect summer weekend dress and has been ideal for the warm weather we’ve been so blessed to have lately.

    That dress is lovely! I agree that the cut out back makes balances the volume, and I love that it isn’t too revealing (as in, it looks like you can still wear something under it). I love the bright pop of color from the red clutch too. Great outfit!

    The details of that dress are just so wonderful! And I love how you paired a denim vest with this – I was about to pick one up this weekend, but wanted a lighter shade!

    Argh, Free People is killing me with all their gorgeous boho-esque dresses! Love that you’ve paired yours with a denim dress – I think that also helps to add shape to the look!

    The details on the dress is beautiful. Like you, I’m not a fan of swing/trapeze dresses, they just make me look pregnant and very unflattering. I’ve seen so many of them around and think they are super cute and comfortable, but just haven’t had one that flatters my body yet. The scoop back definitely hugs the curves of your back more giving it some shape. 🙂

    […] I’d been looking forward to pulling it out again all year (I wore it on the blog last summer here), and a few Grecian inspired pieces that arrived from Jeweliq gave me the perfect excuse to style […]
