Really Love My … Aztec Print Dress

09/03/19 | Fashion and Style, Jack Rogers, really love my ...

Kelly and Venice Art Murals

(In Santa Monica, Los Angeles, California)

Moving to England was probably one of the best things I could have done to cut down my wardrobe – I decided pack up my entire life into five suitcases to move across the ocean and that made me really reevaluate my wardrobe, shoes included. one of the things i tended to notice is that the majority of the things that made the “keep” pile were the more expensive investment items that I had bought full price after careful consideration and that I wore in frequent rotations. The “donate” pule was more things i had found on a good deal / discount and got great joy in finding in that moment but when getting dressed for work or going out, I never reached for. One of the only exemptions to this distinction is this great Aztec print dress.

In the Fall of 2015 I visited the Gilt Warehouse Sale in NYC and picked up quite a few items. In that post I mentioned that the gold snakeskin flats were my best find but nearly four years later I can tell you without a doubt it is this jersey dress. It has been around the world with me and I love the comfortable fabric, stylist pattern, and slight a-line fit. Take a look at all of the different ways I have styled it and places I have worn it:

June Dress Challenge - June 21st Aztec Print Blue Dress

(In Flatiron, New York City) 

Belgium Weekend - Bruges View from Huisbrouwerij De Halve Maan Brewery

(In Bruges, Belgium) 

Qatar Sand Dunes Photoshoot 03

(In Doha, Qatar)

Posing with a Galapagos Giant Tortoise

(In Galapagos, Ecuador)

Aztec Print Dress in Cape Cod

(In Cape Cod, Massachusetts) 

Aztec Print Dress in the Catskills

(In the Catskills, New York)

Outside La Sagrada Familia

(In Barcalona, Spain)

Belgium Weekend - Bruges Mussels at De Koetse

(In Bruges, Belgium)

And I am sure I have worn this aztec print dress many more times than just the shots above but they are the ones I could find on the blog!  Also, for all of my NYC readers, the next Gilt Sample sale is coming up in a few weeks, I would highly suggest you check it out! 

Do you have a favorite dress? 

What makes it stand out in your closet?

    I love seeing all the places you’ve traveled in that dress! That is seriously amazing. Pieces that are so wearable and well loved are always the best clothes to hold on to. I really like how you styled it off the shoulder in the last photograph, it looks great!
