dinner dress...

I love this dress. I bought it from a boutique in Dallas last fall, and it's by Free People. It has a cool, Indian-vibe to it. The only pain-in-the-buttocks thing is, it's pretty short. I can't really wear it without tights or leggings, which I feel like detracts from wearability of the dress. I don't get much use out of it, but when I do, I feel pretty and put-together.

I'm wearing it with my paisley cut-out earrings from F21, Nordstrom shiny leggings (not liquid leggings, be specific...) and some BCBGirls oxford booties (which you can't see... but you will eventually. I wear them a lot). I have a really cute Juicy Couture wool capelet that I will wear with it when it's cooler out... and then some knee-high boots. Fall, why won't you come to meeee nowwww??? :(

Hope everyone's Monday found them well!

  3. Holy smokes, that dress is GORGEOUS. I do like it the way you have it paired with leggings- I think it looks perfect. :)

  4. Love the dress! I do hate how some dresses are just too short, too short for short! This way looks great - but you could also try with those fancy slips that are made to stick out to extend the length and wear with bare legs.

    Some are really awesome - and expensive, but a DIY project of mine to come for sure!

  5. Those are amaaaaaazing! I think I've seen them on another site before, can't remember where or when... I wonder if someone on Etsy would make something like that for much cheaper? If you do a DIY, let me know! :)

  6. Shabbyapple.com use to have some cute and less expensive slips, but don't see any up there now... I'm SURE Etsy would have something too. :)
