Tropical juice print OP in yellow (173-6031-0)
トロピカルジュース柄ワンピース
This print on this dress features 4 different colored drinks on the hem surrounded with roses and daises throughout. I had already seen it in person and have another version of the OP so there isn't much that I wasn't expecting! I love the tropical juice print in general, and on the yellow version, the teal drink really stands out while the daisies blend a little more into the background (especially compared to the pink version). Unlike the white version, the lace up ribbon on the yellow dress matches the base yellow color.

After spending more time with this dress, I realized the reason why sometimes I like the fit and other times I think there's something more to be desired is because it fits better after I eat lol. And I will probably eat at some point while wearing the dress, so it should all sort itself out. It is a bit loose on the top for me (but it's good for you if you have more of a chest) and I wish the shirring in the back grabbed a little more, but otherwise, overall, I can't complain much because there's so many things I appreciate about it. I have no regrets about getting the same dress in a different color and with the weather how it is lately, I'll have plenty of opportunities to wear it!
I really like looking at all three colors side by side. They each feel special in their own way.
Why did I purchase from TOM versus TKL?
I had just come back from my trip but was still in love with this print series. Cost was a factor for me but, as you can see, it wasn't such a hard decision to go with TOM. Additionally, I also used TOM points (not shown in the calculation due to specificity to my personal account) that brought the cost down much more than it ever would have been from another retailer. If I hadn't used any points, I could have also used my $5 off coupon for April, bringing the TOM total down to at least $83.48.
Considering purchasing from TOM yourself?

While the beginning of March wasn't terrible, the hot, humid weather is definitely back now and here to stay for a while. All long sleeve dresses will most certainly be retired until at least October/November, but luckily I love all of my summer items!
