Today's Everyday Fashion: Is This Dress Too Austin Powers?

 
 

I am the absolute worst at making decisions. This dress has been sitting in my closet for two weeks, and I can't decide if I like it!! Typically, if you're on the fence about something, then I'd say it's a "no." But it's the "maybes" that haunt me. Half the time, they wind up being my favorite thing in my closet! And the other half, I deeply regret it. The maybes are the WORST!! And this dress is a definite maybe. I keep trying it on with different accessories, asking my husband to weigh in, and finally thought photos would solve it, but NOPE. (Highly recommend having a friend snap a phone pic if you're unsure though, photos help a lot.) So now I'm asking your input: is this dress boho chic, or Austin Powers? How would you style it?
