Look how cute Emmy Rossum looks in this pretty floral dress! It's nice to see her in something super cute and affordable, as well as available. As much as I love vintage pieces, not being able to get them really makes me insane. Especially when it's on someone I want to emulate. What I really love about this dress is that it's part of the bohemian collection from Express, but the way that Emmy puts it together, it looks quite timeless and chic.
I love the way she styled herself here and gave the dress the shape. The hair up, the black bag and waist cincher and those very nice heels makes it all work for me. She's one of the only celebrities who works alone without a stylist. So, I applaud her each time she does this.
This dress has a smocked waist which can be worn with or without a belt, but after seeing this on her, this is the best time to break out that belt (black, tan or brown). The chiffon-y skirt has a double layer so you're not going feel naked.
I'm short so I'm thinking this is a great dress for me. I think it probably works on everyone. Sized X-small through X-large. And if you're insisting to wear this springy dress now, add black opaque tights and layer a grey cardigan over it. Clogs can work, and a knee high boot or heel also does the job.
To buy: $60, Express
