This dress just screams Carly! Or Samantha Parkington. Or Rory Gilmore. Or maybe even Blair Waldorf. I can’t decide, but I know that it’s amazing.
I wore this last week and met up with Carter in the morning to shoot it. (Actually met/saw a bunch of readers commuting to work… Hi!) We had one of those rare New York City days where you could comfortably have bare legs but still wanted a coat because of the chill in the air.
I just love how quintessentially fall this dress is. The herringbone plaid couldn’t be better. It’s great by itself, but I love how the trench coat looks layered with it too. (It would work great with a wool overcoat too.)
The dress also zips up the back so the buttons in the front aren’t actually functional. Personally, I love that because you get a great fit without having to worry about gaping.
These loafers are from last year. The exact pair is unfortunately sold out. You could always splurge on a pair of Guccis (I’ve been tempted, ha) but there’s also a Sam Edelman pair that looks comfortable and cute for a much more affordable price.

I’m completely obsessed with this month of Gal Meets Glam dresses, all the tweed and plaid are so perfect for fall! You look gorgeous in the herringbone, and the bow around the neck is the perfect touch. I would say it’s a very first and second season Blair Waldorf dress 🙂
Cheers,

Great post, love the outfit! I would love it if you could do a post on fall/winter outfits for places like South Florida where it stays pretty mild – you probably have some good ideas and thoughts having lived in Tampa!
I love that dress! The plaid is subtle but still so preppy and classy. I also love how you paired it with the red loafers!!

I love love this Gal Meets Glam dress!! You styled it so perfectly. I love the loafers and trench! Do you think this could be OK for a fall wedding? Or too casual?

Love this look and totally feel you on shirt gaping – it’s the worst! I recently found “the shirt” by Rochelle Behrens at Tuckernuck and she added a hidden button that completely prevents gaping and its amazing
I’m pretty sure we all had this dress for our Samantha doll haha
AMAZING. this dress totally reminds me of Samantha! The trench looks so chic.
I’m definitely getting a Samantha Parkington vibe.
this dress is so gorgeous and SO YOU!!

Can’t wait to get mine ! You look PERFECT in it !
I know I probably say this every month, but I think this is my favourite GMG dress on you yet! I love every detail – but especially that adorable bow tie and cute silhouette. It looks like it was literally made just for you!
