Ring: Miss Selfridge

Oh this dress, yes this dress! It's not too often on here that I speak so very specifically about what I am wearing - but this little velvet dress had me all kinds of smitten. I guess that's why I love swapping clothes so much - it's all for getting my hands on pieces like this. You see, this dress belongs to my fella Flock Together gal, Jenna of Smitten and it was truly one that I did not want to send onto the next gal. It's a curvy girl's dream of a dress and to be very truthful, the Mr. practically begged me to beg Jenna to offer to buy it from her. Too bad I'm incredibly bashful and would never in a million years ask - because why would anyone ever want to sell a Red Velvetly smothered dress like this one? But um, seriously Jenna, if you ever tire of wearing this beauty, you know who to call. ;-)

As for this week - well I'm taking it easy. I spent all last weekend painting my living room and then left for a conference in Hershey...so this mama is wiped! Right now all I want to do is curl up with a mug of hot chocolate and grab the remote because Chuck has finally been added to Netflix and I'm all for a marathon! Was anyone else into this show when it aired? Anyhoo, that's about all. Have one happy hump day darlings!
Love Bunches,
So so cute! Your velvet dress is wonderful. I think those tights are the perfect color to pair with it. The feather detailing on the back of them is so pretty too.
ReplyDeletethis dress of Jenna's is oh so gorgeous, a perfect length and i adore how the back cut ads a little something w/ fun in a subtle way. you look gorgeous in it Marisa and i love that floral crown on you, so perfect for fall! that is too funny your hubs wanted you to keep it, he sounds like such a sweety!
ReplyDeleteAh! This is so incredibly darling-you look gorgeous :) I love velvet.
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks perfect on you. I would never have thought about those colour tights but they work incredibly well, and the feather backseam is fabulous. Somehow the shoes bring it all together too. Of course, I also love the crown - who wouldn't?! Kx

Omg. It looks incredible on you! I've been eyeing this dress since I saw it in Jenna's swap album, and I was afraid it'd be too small on me... but I might have to ask her if I can borrow it... I absolutely love the styling here. The tights, crown and ring are just gorgeous. And that low back! I can see why your hubby wanted you to keep it! :)
