I found this dress about a year and a half ago while on holiday visiting the in-laws. It was around $20 in one of those semi-cheapy stores (Ricki's/Bootlegger) on the clearance rack. I love the cut of it and it goes with tons of stuff, although looking back, I seem to wear it with brown a lot! Can it really be that I haven't worn this since May? Also, in April. Wow, I'm really surprised that it's been that long.Boots and jewelry:
Mom's 70s choker, and my faux wood/metal necklace wrapped around my wrist 4 times as a bracelet. Love those boots, man! Dress (Ricki's), cami (not visible, InWear), belt (Aldo), tights (Hue), boots (Miz Mooz), choker (Mom's, vintage), necklace (can't remember), big gold hoop earrings (gift from L).
I love the heel and buckles on the boots! Oddly, I have items of clothes that I absolutely love that I wear maybe once a year. This probably means there are too many clothes in my closet....

Very sassy! love this belted look on you.
ReplyDeleteHave just gone through your week's worth of entries. What a triumph! What I enjoy is not only the pictures, but your commentary - I like the attention to detail ( e.g. the baby carrots etc) most of all.
ReplyDeleteAlso impressed with you taking on Jane's wardrobe challenges as I just read your Wardrobe Intentions in the sidebar. Brava! I have been doing the same thing in my own way, but not with the clear direction that Jane has. I'm sure she's providing some excellent material for a book, which would be fab.
I can't believe how you've got to rug up to go to work. It's like guerilla warfare with the elements.
Looking forward to next week's Wardrobe Adventures!
Erica: I'm so glad I'm not the only one!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to see as many Oscar-nominated movies as I can so that I can root for my favourites.
Alison: the buckle on this belt is small enough that it keeps the belt in place (although now that I think of it, I did have to tighten it up periodically). You could try to add an extra piece of fabric or something like that to make the buckle tighter?
Thanks, Lady D!
Sue: Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I always look forward to summertime, when I don't have to wear as many clothes to walk!
Super sassy! Love the dress!
ReplyDeleteSmashing! What a sexy casual Friday YOU had.
ReplyDeleteLove that silhouette on you. The belt gives a great hourglass shape.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hillary!
ReplyDeleteHa, Sal, that made me laugh.
Thanks, Cat - I love the hourglass look.
