I’m in Love with This Dress
I’m going to make this a short and sweet outfit post. No deep thought-provoking concepts or ideas. Just plain old let’s talk about the clothes. I am seriously in love with this dress. Here are the reasons:
- It’s a fit and flare.
- The fabric is a little thicker so it does not hug in the places I don’t want it to hug.
- It flares just right.
- It has pockets.
- The length is just right…it hits just above the knee, so not frumpy and not inappropriately short.
- It’s purple.
- The print is subtle enough to make pattern mixing easy.
- It can go in the washer and the dryer.
- It was only $20.
- It’s perfect!

I love everything about your dress: the subtle prints, the color, the pockets and the classic cut. This is so versatile and something you can wear for years to come.

That is such a great dress .. you look fabulous!!
I don’t know which I love more than fabulous price or that it can go in the washer and the dryer!!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thank you, Celia! I actually never looked at the washing instructions until after I wore it. I was so happy! And it came out of the dryer virtually wrinkle free! I may have to quickly run the steamer over it to crisp it up a bit, but that’s it! Fabulous in every way!

That dress looks amazing on you, you definitely made the right call with this piece! The slim belt is so cute too, it just cinches the whole outfit together!

Thanks so much! And I went half the day without the belt! I loved the dress without it, but once I added the belt, it went to a whole new level of fabulous!

I agree! The dress is perfect!
Why can’t all our clothes be perfect??? I’m trying REALLY hard to only add perfect new pieces of clothing to my wardrobe… But even when they seem perfect at first glance, they often aren’t. A perfect piece is indeed rare…

Thank you, Andrea! It is so true. We should be able to wear clothes for a day with a no questions asked return policy! So often something seems perfect in the fitting room but when you wear it all day, you find yourself tugging and pulling and readjusting and discovering it is not so perfect after all! This dress though required none of the tugging and pulling and readjusting…it is just perfect!
