nothing grouchy bout this

oscar de la Renta, formerly of abuela's cocktail dresses, wakes up, gets with the times and puts a smile on with a heck of a lot of color this season- and it's looking like a dream Miami girl outfit (why a dream Miami girl outfit? Let me remind you, having been popped down for a handful of months, how our fashion posts work: All fashion posts are the imagined image of the quintessential Miami girl, a healthy blend of what they do look like and what they perhaps should. Cool?)

Eyelet! Fringe! Floral! AND lace! What's not to love? The key to copying this look is to choose and commit to one of these as the full fabric of the look- and it's Oscar after all so it's gotta be expensive. I'm thinking a cheap imitation of these looks just won't translate because it's all about the fabrics being lovely enough to swath the whole body in, but check Forevee XXI in two months and get back to me.
