Mauvelous!

Dress:  Anthropologie.  Shirt and beads:  Target.
Seychelles heels.  Vivi Dot Peach and Lace Lexington Necklace.

I have this theory about dresses.  It goes like this:

They should NOT be worn only for special occasions.

Otherwise, what a waste of both money and a perfectly lovely article of clothing.
Case in point:  This dress came from Anthro around 2005 (or '06? i don't remember.) for a wedding I was attending that summer.

I love it, and if I were to only wait to pull it out of my closet for weddings, that would be sad.
Partly because I would be pictured in the same outfit for every wedding I went to.  Awkward.
But the main reason is this:  
I spent good moneys on this dress, 
it makes me feel pretty, 
and gosh-darn-it I'm going to wear it today because I feel like it. 

So there.
Don't try to stop me.

PS I found my bangs again.  
Aren't you proud of me?

  1. I feel the same way! I always 'dumb' down some of my designates wedding/dinner date dresses for work and everyday! Love what you did with this one and loving the specs!
