Taking out the Trash
H&M Dress, Forever 21 Ring, Vintage Bracelet and Belt, Nine West Booties
Every so often, I spend an inordinate amount of time fawning over the women of Stockholm Street Style, leaving me utterly inspired and in desperate need of edgy pieces for my wardrobe. When I first saw this dress at H&M, I was enamored with its oversized pleats, fitted top and billowy bottom, only to find that at the office, it was not as admired (a male co-worker asked why I wore a garbage bag to work). Regardless of his opinion, I still think it’s a perfectly offbeat twist on a classic item that can be dressed up or down with a jeweled cardigan and flats or a sleek trench and pumps.

Absolutely love it. Very simple yet original and a nice change to the usual little black dress!(tx for the Stockhom street style link, just looked at it and thought it was a nice inspiring road show).
xx.
Haha, guys can be so clueless about fashion. My boyfriend makes the worst comments sometimes about clothes. Oh well. Just keep in mind that we (girls) appreciate it, the dress is fabulous, and it fits you perfectly. It bears no resemblance to a garbage bag whatsoever, it has a beautiful shape!
Some people just don’t understand! This dress is very cute and I love what you paired it with. Keep doing what you’re doing…you have great style!
love your grey heels, very nice with the black dress

Do drop by my blog and check out my new interview with one of the hottest models right abt now..
I think your dress is fabulous! Not at all like a garbage bag! It looks great with the Nine West booties too. I have been lusting after those in black.
i am also inlove with stalkholm street style and that dress so doesn’t resemble anything of a garbage bag. no way. it’s lovely!
*stockholm. sorry. ugh.
I love it! Men never understand clothing that isn’t constantly accentuating a women’s curves. The shoes are very cute too!
I’m pretty sure only you could pull this off. And I am SOOO bitter about living in Utah, with no H&M.
SO cute! I love the belt detail. And that square neckline has such graphic architectural appeal. Smokin’!
i love it. my boyfriend would probably have said the same thing that your co-worker did…they just don’t get it!
Loving the dress, it looks fantastic on you.
HAHAHA garbage bag. Don’t worry, you look absolutely cute in that dress. continue rocking it!
Guys will be guys. Trust me, my boyfriend has made some remarks on what he thought were some questionable fashion choices (that most girls would ADMIRE). You look lovely! And I agree that dress is amazing.
Boys just aren’t ready for cute fashion. I think it looks adorable on you!
Great outfit! Send in your outfit to dinstil.feber.se to inspire and be inspired.
That dress is so chic, I love it!

so cute…. love the dress.
Ohhhh what do men know?! It’s classically chic yet edgey at the same time, all in all the perfect casual LBD
such a cute LBD!
Just too cute!!
That’s gotta be the nicest garbage bag I’ve ever seen. Well done.
awwww i absolutely love it!! and i’m totally there with you on coworkers who just don’t get it.. haha
great dress! you look gorgeous!
Clearly not a garbage bag! Love it.
Emily, I happen to think this dress is gorgeous! Definitely 100x better than an ordinary, plain-jane LBD. Guys, bahaha, they just make me laugh sometimes.
that dress is NOT a garbage bag! i like it.
i love this dress, so cute and perfect for the holiday season, or hell any season, haha.
aw, you’re adorable. and i love this dress. if it gets super cold you could wear it with some killer tights, too.
Oh please! This dress is amazing — it looks designer. Don’t listen to those folks
that man does NOT know what he’s talking about!!! that is soo cute! and i love your shoes!!
I like your co-workers sense of humor.
Looks like there’s a Shiba-Inu in there.
Haha, a typical male comment! the dress is gorgeous and you look gorgeous in it!
pin tuck details are nice. You’ve matched your monochrome dress with colourful nails and a ring. Perfect.
my theory is if straight guys diss your clothes, you’re doing something right.
the booties are great! and thats the best looking trash bag i’ve ever seen!
Your coworker is obviously daft, the dress looks fantastic. 2 Holly’s posting back to back!
LOVE the booties and that ring!!! Annnd the dress looks pretty damn fantastic dear!
nice pictures…
I’m with Fashion Herald. If we dressed to please straight men, we’d be stuck in Hooters outfits. Dress for the geighs and the fashion bloggers! You look mahvelous.
Beautiful dress! And beautiful blog, too!
Oh, this is just adorable!
That co-worker of yours clearly doesn’t appreciate true style.
I think your dress is great and how you pulled it all together. Men…
so cute on you!
don’t you love it when unfashionable people comment on your clothes? they always seem to come up with interesting comments.
i love it and with the gray booties it is girly but not too girly.
I have these booties in black! I heart them.
I definitely don’t think this dress looks like a garbage bag! Whoever said that is totally clueless… I think it’s very flattering and I love the high waisted belt!
YOU are my new girl crush
Much love,
Lusty
PS men are idiots
Beautiful and not at all garbage-bag-ish. Men are silly.
lol. Guys just dont “get” it do they? You look amazing!
love it! you look gorgeous!
