My Wardrobe Today – Tuesday
Dress – Eliza J (dress no longer available on site – dress is matte jersey with rouched shoulders, zipper down the back, fully lined)
Shoes – Nine West
Bracelet – A long strand of small champagne pearls, from Nordstrom
A Nordstrom-full outfit today! I bought the dress for their Anniversary Sale but it didn't fit at the time, even with my most heavy-duty Spanx. Now it does. Small changes to the body!
And these shoes… LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They come in wide so they fit my chunky tootsies, they are calf hair so not only a fab print but fab texture, love that the heel is black and not fabric covered so if it gets scuffed I can clean it up. I desperately missed my leopard-print peeptoes from BCBGirls that I rocked the heck out of pre-pregnancy. Alas I am no longer a 7.5 and now my friend S owns them. As for these new pumps, I actually got these in black leather as well – these two pairs will be my go-to shoes this fall and winter!
Oooh, switched up the makeup! Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage, Philosophy The Supernatural Airbrushed Canvas, Nars blush in Orgasm, Tarte Indelible Wink liner in Black, DiorShow mascara, a touch of khaki shadow from the Revlon ColorStay shadow quad in Neutral Khakis, and the lipstick is Korres in Wine Red.
Hair is second day, again trying to make silk out of a sow's ear with my curling iron and a touch of Jonathan Product Silky Dirt. Think I would have been better off sans-Silky Dirt because it made my hair look… well dirty! ๐
You look AMAZING!!!!!
LOVE the dress, LOVE the shoes!!
those shoes are amazing. you should wear both everyday even with jeans casually
Ooolala! You are looking steller, ma’am. Very chic indeed. LOVE those sleeves.
Gorgeous dress! You look fabulous!
Gorgeous dress, looks great on you! Do you know about stylist Kendall Farr? She’s coined the term “the almighty unbroken line”. Looks like you’ve nailed it there!
Jxxnx
All of you looks great in that outfit!
Ok, I have been lusting after the Ann Taylor version of that dress, and now I’m so going to order it! You look awesome! If Matt gets mad because I did it when I promised that I wouldn’t order any more dresses until I wear the two in my closet that still have tags, I’m so blaming you. ๐ (Just kidding–he won’t be mad when he sees how gorgeous that dress is!)
well, i think you look just fabulous! and I will also add that i LOVE Nordstrom’s… but try to regulate myself to shop there only during their Anniversary Sales (which I cannot say always happens) ๐

Sure they do. Allie gives all this fashion advice and makes a big deal about women of all sizes wearing things that flatter, and those teeny little shoes are very unflattering with her thick-ish legs (that still look great in lots of other dress/shoe combinations). Small shoes just do not work without small legs. I am not trying to be mean…but why post a fashion blog if one does not want honest feedback? My honest feedback is that the dress is nice, and the shoes are nice…but the shoes with a dress makes her legs look fat. They would be great peeping out of slacks though, or with tights.
Your legs don’t look fat. Jesus. What a rude thing to say.
For anybody who just has to have this dress, or one like it, Ann Taylor has something very similar right now: http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=26816&N=1200007&pCategoryId=3939&categoryId=180&Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_180&loc=TN&defaultColor=Black&defaultSizeType=Regular
wow, your legs look really fat in that dress. otherwise, I like it. Maybe some support hose, or tights would help??? Maybe thicker shoes???
Love that dress on you! It gives you a great shape.
This outfit looks awesome on you! love love love the shoes too
