I've owned this dress for nearly 2 years but have worn it exactly once, because, frankly, it's pretty darned short. There's so much that I love about it, though: the wide funnel neckline, it's 100% wool, it fits perfectly, it was under $30 and it's a "Studio" Holt Renfrew label (again, not being a label snob, just thrilled to find such good quality so cheaply). Holt Renfrew is "the" big department store in Canada (we don't even have one in my city), known for very high-end goods. I have never set foot in one - I wonder if they have clearance racks? Probably event those are more expensive than I'm used to, ha!
But the featured item in this outfit is the new jewelry set Mom picked up for me in LA - thanks again, Mom! It's super lightweight and when I run my fingers through it, it sounds like rain. *smile* I love that.

Have a fab weekend!

Carollyne, you're such a fashion maven. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe jewelry is lovely, and the outfit reminds me of a mod sort of look, but with a contemporary sensibility.
ReplyDeleteI've still not tried a dress w/pants, but I'm taking notes :)
Thanks, Kayleigh! I was scared to do this look for the longest time. You can do it!
