OOTD... fashion is my oasis.

Sorry for the lack of posting this weekend. I tell ya... (and no, it's no excuse)... I've got a lot on my plate!

But back to my oasis.... FASHION!

Here's my OOTD... it's the Anna Sui dress! It's finally COLD (i.e. 70) here in Dallas.



As you can tell, I'm pairing it with the F21 Peplum sweater jacket today, some long ponte leggings, and (you can't see, but they're) Nordstrom BP patent leather pointy-toes. I'm a little strange-- I don't like belting often. Sure, it's most flattering, and I totally love the look it gives, but belts are so constricting. I'm between a rock and a hard place when it comes to styling. Although I know what looks best, I sometimes try other things in the name of the Almighty Comfort. Oh well. I think this styling looks good, but you notice I forgo (forwent?) the belt today. Monday morning is not a time for being a slave to fashion.

I should be posting an engagement pic soon. Just waiting for one to come my way. :) I also plan on getting my blog-lovies opinions on which dress I should wear to my rehearsal dinner coming up in less than 2 weeks (OMG).

And a favor, s'il vous plait-- for anyone who has had trouble commenting on my blog, will you please shoot me an email letting me know? I'm thinking about changing widgets because I've had some trouble with people commenting and seeing comments. Feedback would be much appreciated! Thanks lovies... and have a nice Monday.

  5. I'm with you on the belt thing- I'm short waisted so I have to be REEEEEEEEEEEAlY sure the belt looks okay or I end up looking like Dolly Parton in 9 to 5 (no offense to Dolly- I love that movie and used to want to be her when I grew up!) so I go without a lot. I think your OOTD looks great without the belt!

  8. You look great in that Anna Sui dress -- even without the belt! :) Belts are a requirement for me since I am hippy but teeny-waisted (I can't imagine what the already-unflattering-AS would have looked on me without the belt), but ugh, yeah, sometimes they can be so constricting that I get cranky. But you've got the figure to make dresses work without 'em, you should totally ditch them!
