Ain't she a doll?

Sometimes when I'm bored I find myself imagining what animals and babies are thinking. Anyhoo, I was thrilled to wear my new dress, a Christmas gift from my Mom. We had gone shopping together at Macy's in Herald Square on our recent trip to the city, where I scored this romantic silk dress for a fraction of the designer price. I still can't believe my own luck. I heart the unexpected color combination, the fluttery ruffles down the neckline both in front and back, a loose blouse-y effect on top created by a gathered elastic waist, and layers of raw silk forming the skirt. A smart black blazer, with sleeves rolled up, made this a church-friendly outfit. (Although, of course, South Florida church attire is very loose – jeans and hooker boots and whatnot – as I observed from the Sunday mass crowd letting out prior to our baptism service.) Many thanks to my baby sis for so patiently taking shot after shot of my outfits this last week. My family must think I've turned into a crazy person since I moved away and started a blog! And, I must ask again, don't all outfit photos just look better in pretty South Florida?
Outfit of the Day (Church Baptism):
Blazer, Takari via Dillard's circa 2005
Dress, Maginn
Heels, BCBG, traded during a Shit Swap last year!
Necklace, borrowed from the sis
Clutch, Express*
*I found this at the dog park two weeks ago! The clutch was empty. I'm sorry that someone was most probably mugged. But, on the upside, I scored a brand new clutch. I've always wanted one! Also, it was sitting in the same exact place I found a new dog leash the week before. Do you think someone's dog was mugged, too?
Oh my goodness, you look stunning in that dress-- love! And the blazer is a very chic touch.
ReplyDeleteMaya - thank you! Isn't it nice to put on a very girly dress ever once in awhile!
