Sometimes I think that my wardrobe is made up of 60% dresses {and then 25% shoes, and 15% everything else}. Dresses are just so hard to resist! With the right one, you can get away with minimal jewelry and accessories. This dress from ever+mi.crush is one of those perfect ones! I love the lace detail on the sleeves and the pretty pleated skirt. I chose simple jewelry, like my everyday gold necklace and a pearl cuff.

I apologize for my pasty white legs! Winter paleness still affects some of us in Southern California, I guess!

Super cute dress (and coat!). I have to admit though, it's weird seeing you wearing a dress with (basically) no sleeves, and I'm sitting here watching the snow come down! :)

Um, I say yes to this dress in a major way! And don't feel bad...I'm a southern Californian too, and I'm just as pale all year. Some of us just lack the melanin gene :)

This dress is beyond lovely. Stunning color and such delicate lace. I love emerald as Pantone's Color of the Year, and actually just posted about it on my blog this morning.

those lacy shoulders! i love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting this! I absolutely LOVE dresses and I don't care what season it is, I will wear one. I especially love strapless dresses because you can wear them during any season, and when it's cold just wear a cute sweater to cover yourself, and you can buy a long dress to cover your legs and/or wear stockings.
