Fall Floral with Gray Monroe

So I have a confession, I really am not a great boutique shopper.  I have a bit of a wonky body for some clothes and ordering from a shop without a Nordstrom return policy makes me nervous.  At the same time I really love supporting independently owned shops and today I’m sharing a for sure win I snagged from Gray Monroe!  
I love best being able to see the item modeled in both the front view and the side view and the site even provides the stats for the model, Jenny. She is very petite so I know immediately if I think an item adds the slightest bit of weight to her otherwise teeny frame I am steering clear. This dress was adorable on her and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it!  

I first styled it simply with some colorful Stella & Dot pieces like the Sanibel reversible pendant and my fave black booties.  Did I mention this dress has pockets?!!  Yes, mam….add a pocket and I’m typically sold immediately!

Last year my sweet mother-in-law gave me this vest for Christmas but I have struggled finding just the right outfit to wear it with.  Ding, ding, ding, I believe we have a winner!

Lastly I added this lightweight jacket.  I really am not overjoyed with the color combo but I definitely think in the right shade a jacket will also be adorable.  The J. Crew field jacket I showed off last week also comes in a cream color that is so gorgeous.  
Sadly, this dress sold out within hours!  Gray Monroe also stocked in burgundy which is also sold out and they are no longer taking pre-orders. So sad!  So many other cute things to choose from though and they often have favorites come available again.  
I really think this dress is going to be heavy in the rotation this fall and winter.  Let me know which way you think I should wear it first?

  1. This dress is so pretty for Fall! I feel the same way about ordering online from a boutique, it's a little risky. I do admire Gray Monroe so maybe I'll take a chance. Knowing me I'll order a shirt, seems a little safer, lol!

  2. I am looking for the perfect floral tunic to wear with leggings. No such luck yet. Boutique shopping is probably my favorite, although I haven't been very lucky lately at find anything. The dress with the vest is my favorite look! Love it!

  3. Thanks Sarita! I really have had good luck with GM and the return policy is good. It's just always such a hassle to pack stuff up to send back isn't it? I end up dragging my feet and typically the time period runs out. Hope you are having a great week!

  4. Ha, I thought "well, that's a pretty dress". Then I scrolled down and saw how you styled it with just the right amount of "edge" to cut the floral sweetness. Looks great on you and comfortable too! New reader, enjoying your blog.

  5. This dress is definitely a beauty and a keeper for the fall. I just adore it alone or with that cozy vest! I have never heard of this boutique, but I need to check them out!

  6. Love Gray Monroe!! That dress is so super cute on you!! When I saw it, I wanted it but I already have something so similar from ON! LOL

  7. Oh wow, I can see why this dress sold out so fast. It's perfect! I love the long sleeves, the length, and the waistline. The print is so gorgeous too. My favorite way you styled it is just the dress alone. It's too pretty to cover!

  8. Well I am glad you tried this boutique because oh my what a gorgeous dress and it has pockets!! I love it so much with that cozy sherpa vest. Have you been reading my mind/my blog lately because I am all about Fall Florals (see my last three OOTD posts in a row) LOL? You look great Shelly!

    Do come by and join my latest linkup, beautiful! Thanks and enjoy the weekend!
