Floral Off-the-shoulders dress

Guys, I'm late to the party. Late because I almost missed this dress. Well, I already missed it online (how long has it been?), but I was very lucky to find it in-store.
I needed some shoes for work, you know something different than sandals - it's so cold at work I don't wear any open-toe shoes. Our plan wasn't to step foot in Old Navy but it happened - it's like a magnet, if it's anywhere near me, you bet I'll go in there.

And obviously I found plenty of things I liked there. I found this dress, surprisingly in my size and some crop pants. They didn't have the pants in my size however, so a store associate checked for me online to find that they had my size and asked me if I wanted them delivered in 5-7 business days, for free to my house (I didn't know you can order your size - if available - online, directly from store, so I got excited). I paid for the crop pants and since I didn't have to wait in the huge line, I decided to leave.
​We went into another store but I could not stop thinking about this dress. So guess what?
I went back for it.
I was surprised, again, to find it exactly where I have left it, so I took it as a sign that it was meant to be - I bought the dress. ​
​This dress makes me think of Mexico because of its vibrant colors and style (that's how I see Mexico). It's so comfortable, not to mention bouncy, plus, it makes me dream of vacation! I think it's a win-win. Oh, and it's hubby approved! That's B-I-G.

What do you guys think? Was it worth going back for this dress? Share in the comments.

P.S. Since the dress is not available online, here are the other dresses I picked (ON SALE) here and here and the crop pants (also ON SALE) I'm waiting on.

Thanks for reading! Have the best week!

XOXO,
Em ​
