Fashionistas!!!

We're going to this:

http://www.995thewolf.com/EVENTS/MardiGrasTexasStyle.aspx

tomorrow, and I want to be dolled up...

I bought a purple dress at work to play off of the mardi gras theme, but I want to wear my boots... I got a chunky multi colored necklace to tie it all together. The stitching on the boots is purple, and I think I can pull it off... But I want the Knestie seal of approval. WDYT? The dress is one that you can tie about a billion different ways... I might try it different ways, but here's the gist...

Re: Fashionistas!!!

  • I think it looks good together. I think that the color of the boots compliments the color of the dress nicely. I think it would look odd it they were too matchy-matchy. (I love the picture while standing on the chair look!)
  • Very nice.  Cute look (and it's purple!).

    I have that same chair.

  • Looks good, my only opinions are maybeit could use a wide belt at the waist or maybe wear the necklace lower.  I feel like there is just something missing, those are my two suggestions.... is it cool there? maybe add a cropped/shorter length jacket??

  • Thank you, ladies! I knew I could count on you gals for reassurance.  I had to do the stand on the chair look so you could see the boots. :)  don't mind the pile of laundry or unmade bed in the background... Haha!

    I tied it a little differently so that there was more of a waist and I like it much better... It's been in the seventies here, but I'll probably take my denim jacket just in case.  It's a cropped length, and I think it will work well.

  • I'm far from fashionable but I agree with everyone that it's a really cute outfit.

  • Cute! Is that dress from Loft? Or did you switch jobs already. I think I need that dress.

  • Soma! I work at the outlet, so it was so cheap!  You can tie it all different ways...

    http://www.soma.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=106&pageId=1&productId=570000814&viewAll=&prd=7Way+Dress&subCatId=&color=&fromSearch=&inSeam=&posId=5&catId=cat5039300&cat=Clothing&onSale=&colorFamily=&maxPg=7&size=&_requestid=478373#searchRedirect=true

    It's not available online, but if you want to email me, I can see about finding you one at the outlet! (auntb86 at gmail.com) It was a little under 17 bucks!  We have them in several colors, too, and the fabric is AMAZING!
