I love this dress from Holly at Lucite Box. This falls into the "It's so obvious, it must be ironic!" category — don't you think?
I can see it worn that way — ironic Brooklyn hipster style — with a long fuzzy sweater and flats, or (heaven forfend) those slouchy elf boots that have inexplicably returned from the dead. Or you could rock it straight-up with classic stiletto heels and big hoop earrings.
To modernize it, you'd have to wear those (also largely inexplicable) open-toe wedge-heel booties that I see everywhere and a Balmain shoulder (unless the Balmain shoulder is already out? I can't keep track).
If this is your size, I'd jump on it — it's a great holiday-party dress and it's only $85!

wow… this is giving me flashbacks to high school when I would wear this gold leotard with matching gold button-down shirt that I stole from my mom. I thought I was so cool!
This dress is infinitely cooler than that!
dang…if the hips were only 2 inches bigger. I’d wear it with just an old big sweater and boots. dress it down, as it were.
and while i’m dreaming, i’m going to pretend it has pockets.
A Balmain shoulder would make me look like a dawrf in armor! Horrible. Fun dress though…it was my size way back in the 80s
Oh my. This would be so, so simple to make.
Oh no, I would totally wear this un-ironically! Then again… Peg Bundy has been one of my style-icons since high school. –And I’m not being ironic there either.
