Of course Olivia Palermo wears her own designs on the regular. After she debuted her line for Nordstrom's Chelsea28, we were convinced the collection had her signature appeal. From breezy boho-infused maxis to printed culottes and long, structured vests, these are items Olivia actually keeps in rotation.

But when she stepped out in New York in her chiffon paisley print maxi, a memorable piece we automatically liked, our minds flashed back to Olivia's debut lookbook. When she slipped into the design for the cameras, she roped a leather belt around her waist, piled on the jewels, and wore caged knee-high boots in a cranberry suede.

Those accessories had Olivia's name all over 'em, whereas her mesh flats, dark sunglasses, and crocodile bag were decidedly simple for the fashion mastermind. That's not to say we don't enjoy Olivia in this laid-back look. If anything, it's proof that a dress like this one is fitting for anyone, eccentric or uncomplicated in style. Read on to check it out, then shop similar designs while you cross your fingers that it gets restocked.
