Dress: Ann Taylor floating estuary jersey print dress – size XXSP (buy here)
Necklace: Ann Taylor – (similar here)
Blazer: Theory – size 00 (similar here or affordable version)
Can you believe I got this dress for $5? It was $49.99 plus 50% off = $24.99 and I had a $20 rewards card. I also got the perfect lizard belt on sale for $15. The vachetta color (dark tan) is not online but color code is CL211. Normally this would be too busy of a print for me but the XXSP was hanging on the rack yelling at me to buy it. It’s a jersey type of material so it’s super comfortable.
It’s much more form fitting than I typically prefer but I really can’t complain. These are the debut of the perfect exotic pump in pumice stone. They are of course too big but I added some shoe padding and it’s do-able. They are extremely comfortable and really soft. Anyone with a true size 5’s should really consider these.
To tone down this busy print and cover up, I added my Theory khaki blazer and some nude pumps and I can wear it to work. Some other jersey wrap dresses that are work appropriate is this blue wrap jersey knit and this unique print dress.

Do you think this dress is worth it for $5 and is it too busy?
That dress looks amazing on you!! And for $5! What a steal!
Love it =D
OMG! You look fantastic in that dress! Fits you like a glove girl.
Dep qua! Very pretty outfit. 🙂
i think this dress is absolutely beautiful on you!! i don't think it's quite an ikat print like i was originally thinking from your tweet, but i like it more this way!! i actually shy away from prints and patterns, but this looks really gorgeous on you and with the blazer it's a very do-able work look. great find, Annie!
and i totally need to get my hands on those AT pumps! 🙂
cute & little
nice annie. something different that nobody has posted yet. I had considered this dress, but I bought a similar dress from AT w/the side ruching already. I think you and Mr. RP need to set up a date night so you can wear this number.
($5? I'd totally keep, but you have to be true to yourself…are you comfortable in it and will you wear it?)
the dress was only $5?! that's amazing! and I don't think the pattern is too busy, for that price I would keep it 😀
$5 is a steal! I like the pattern, definitely not busy at all.
This looks fantastic on you, and of course you can't beat the price! I'm a big fan of AT pumps as well 🙂
Totally worth it! I think the neutrals tone it down so it's not too busy at all. Blue is a great shade on you!
you can't go wrong with a $5 pretty dress! You look stunning!
Yay!! Great deal!! You look great! I am also scared of crazy patterns, but you pull this off nicely. I think the fact that it is more form fitting helps!
I love the crossing paths print dress. My mother-in-law bought that and now I want it so bad! It is just like Jean's skirt.
Oh my goodness – this dress is a perfect fit! You should start getting used to this closer fit because you look amazing in this cut and style. I wonder, what did your husband say? 😉

@AubreyOhDang! Hahaha thanks Aubs! It's hard to find things and blog about it before anyone else does these days! And I love side ruching- it really accentuates the curves. And Mr. RP LOVES this dress on me…LOL def a date night w/out the blazer…:D
And I think I will keep it and wear it…I can always cover up with a cardi too if I feel too self-conscious:)

Truly adore the blue colors along with those flesh-tone pumps. I think the pumps and the blazer together make a nice touch with this dress. I also like your necklace. Nothing but love for this outfit, Annie! 🙂
