Then I noticed it sort of matched this scarf, and then of course I had to wear these blue shoes. Toss on the cardi and some accessories and I was pleased.
"Inigo, why must you be in the shot?"The dress has the coolest folds at the bust and the waist - I could practically keep my wallet in there! Bus fare! Lipstick!
I really liked how the mustard cami went with the burgundy and blue, and how the scarf went with all of those colours without being an exact match.
Ah, the shoes. I dub thee "asstastic". You, blue shoes, are ass. Your colour is rubbing off and you are white underneath! You scuff if I look at you! You rub my toe and are a bit too big - you nearly took me down twice today.

You rub my toe and are a bit too big - you nearly took me down twice today.But you, blue shoes, are also fantastic. Your rich cerulean blue, your oh-so-80s pointy toes and stiletto heels. Your shiny silver lining! How can you be so beautiful and still be so...ass?
I need to find new blue shoes in this colour and style that are more high quality. I am looking forward to January when I can buy new shoes again!

ReplyDeleteYou have a cat just like my dog - can't wait to get in on the act. I think the blue and the mustard work very well together.

Love the dress. I also love the shoes. Will you tell us again how you rewarded yourself after you loss weight? I mean how did you do it after certain markers? I think you said shoes. Makes good sense! You look nice and trim as always. I keep remembering I can do it too.
ReplyDeleteI love dresses that have tucks and pleats and your is great. The whole outfits looks very nice on you.

ReplyDeleteHee, I know, I totally have to find another pair this colour. Thanks, Alison!
ReplyDeleteBianca, thank you - yes, I always look for details in things.
Kari, I know, I know - I had it in my brain that this was a "going out" dress and that I couldn't wear it to work. So wrong! Thank you so much.

Eednic, thanks! I'm so flattered - that' a high standard to live up to! Yikes!
Thank you, Lorena! I do too! I know, I'm so bad. :-P
Anonymous, thank you. I'll add that to my list of questions and will address it in a post when I have a chance.
Thank you very much, Chris. I like that too - it's the details that make an item special.
Ha, Kristen, yup, put me in the slammer! Slap my hand! I promise I won't do it again.
Thanks, Northmoon, and thank you for commenting!
Great dress!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Londyn!
ReplyDeleteYour discussion with your shoes cracked me up. I have that same asstastic relationship with a couple of pairs of shoes. Ugh. You folds on your dress are amazing, BTW. You look stunning.
ReplyDeleteSo you understand, Tina - I hate when I have that love/hate relationship with shoes. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI love the folds on that dress. I forgot how much I envy your dress collection!
ReplyDeleteHey, Cat, great to see you! Thanks very much.
