Ikat dress and Fringe earrings from Jennifer Lopez x Kohls, Bag: Halston, Shoes: Valentino
This gorgeous dress is from the Jennifer Lopez collection at Kohl’s.
How do I love thee, J Lo? Let me count the ways. First, her music–Get Right is epic. Second, her style: this princess moment made the Oscars for me. Next, her movies. THE WEDDING PLANNER is one my favorite flicks and probably one of the best romantic comedies ever made. She’s so funny and genuine in it; I like to think that’s closest to who she is on the inside. She’s a mamá to twins. She’s a stellar businesswoman. She played a major role in making the booty so popular.
And then there’s this dress.
I don’t normally wear blue, but I think I’m in love with powder blue now. When I slipped into it I thought: Whoa, this makes me look curvier than I usually feel. [And I’m not even wearing shapewear under this.] But of course it would: a curve-conscious collection is what I’d expect from Lopez. This dress feels like a night of dancing in Miami. That’s exactly where I want to be in it. Hint, hint to my husband. By the way, there’s also a PERFECT pink and gold knit set in straight size that fit me and is worth checking out if you’re about a size 16.
This ikat print is so bold, I think going light on the accessories makes you stand out. I chose long, fringe earrings, my gold leather clutch, and my favorite heels. The price point for this dress is incredible too, on sale for about $30, which I mention because like J. Lo, I’m real.

You look AMAZING, Jay! Sadly, the Kohl’s links are not available to me (I get access denied) 🙁
Jay says
Thanks! Oh no, they seem to be working on my computer and phone. Not sure what the issue might be. But it’s pretty easy to find: on the Kohl’s site just search “ikat dress.”

Get Right, I forgot about that song but it’s a fave! I like your mix of gold and rose gold accessories.

u look stunning!!
i just wondered , r u wearing some kind of body shaper?
and isn it uncomfortable to wear allday?
i hope it does not sound rude, i always have problem with my huge belly T.T
Jay says
Thank you! And, I don’t mind. But I’m not wearing any shaper/shapewear in this outfit.
I know there are shapers out there designed to give you more of an hourglass but I don’t think they’d be comfortable as all day wear, especially since the ones that do more “shaping” are rigid (like corsets) and would be noticeable under most light fabrics. The stretchy kind of shapewear (like Spanx) might go unnoticed under clothes but is more about “smoothing” than shaping. Some cuts of clothes can highlight a waist better but beyond that I think you just have to embrace your shape. I have a belly too. My hips might de-emphasize it a little but it’s there. I have definitely learned to love it over the years. x
