"I know that I am good enough to have the life I want."
Today may be the first day of fall, but the forecast for the weekend says we are going to have just a little bit more summer, and I'm perfectly okay with that. Still, I know that I've got weddings and showers coming up this season, so when I was at Clinton Crossing on Sunday and came across this navy lace sheath dress, I decided I just could not leave without it! Plus when it's 40% off, and then an additional 40% off, how do you pass up that deal?
Because this dress is navy lace over a black lining, it easily solves the black/navy dilemma, and looks quite lovely with other prints and textures as well. If you caught my previous post you might have spied this dress with the tweed blazer, and that simple addition would make this dress work for the office as well. This dress also comes in an equally lovely and fall appropriate bordeaux shade, and has a really pretty back keyhole detail. Naturally I forgot to get a photo of it, but next time! Hopefully this dress will serve me very well this fall.

Forty percent off, plus an extra forty percent off? I'm not much of a sale shopper, but I think even I would have had trouble passing on a deal like that! Especially for a beautiful dress like this one. The cut is absolutely perfect on you - it really does seem to fit like a glove. And although when you describe that it was navy over black, I admit I was skeptical, I actually love the effect that it gives. (Though I'm also a big fan of black with navy. And black with brown. I guess I just don't care about fashion rules.) Fingers crossed that there is more warm weather coming your way so you have more chances to wear this without a sweater or jacket over top!
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
That's a stunning dress (and I love that you paired it with that leopard print bag - I'm a big fan of a navy/leopard combo!).
