Striped Strapless Dress - $98
Here I am wearing a Petite Small. The smaller 'regular' sizes were sold out, so I decided to size-up and try the petite. Definitely a good move... see the length? Any longer and I wouldn't like it. I'm almost 5'6" and this hits right at the top of my knee .... appropriate for just about any occasion IMO.
Trying to do a 'twirl' here!
All in all, love this dress. It was a love-affair once I saw it in the store when I was 9 months prego, so on Friends and Family promo (30% off) it was a no-brainer. It's all stretch with no zippers. Right now, I'm not super happy with how it looks on my hips, but I'm also still carrying an extra 10-15 pounds right now, so.... I would suggest trying the Petite if you are shorter than 5'6" because I think the regular length would have been too much fabric for me for the summer! TTS from what I can tell.
Also,
I wouldn't pair these together, but I love this cardi! This is an XS in the Sea Salt color. Definitely a darker 'sea salt' than J.Crew's. Trying to give the 'belted' effect with my hands here b/c I was too lazy to go find a belt!
This cardigan is probably one of the nicest pieces I've received from any order from any store in a long time! LOVE IT! Thick and supple, it's a great transition piece for fall/winter! There are so many other great colors, including Mouse Brown which I would LOVE to have! I would definitely check this out while still 30% off today! TTS.
I am so way jealous of your postpartum bod. You look amazing! Hope you and your baby and family are doing fab. Love the dress.
ReplyDeleteI bought this dress for my anniversary night out and it was wonderful!!! No wonder I started following...we have very similar taste!
ReplyDeleteOoh, thanks for the pic. I had been eyeing that one for a long time. It's such a pretty and flattering dress. Looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteSusan: You are too sweet - the dress and poses are also very flattering... FYI!! I'm feeling good, but my hips and butt have a long way to go before I can wear any of my regular bottoms!!
Lindsey-You look AMAZING! Congrats on your 2nd little boy! We had a little girl 5 weeks ago tomorrow! I saw this dress online and thought it was cute. Then, I saw your post on it and so I had to have it! Went today and picked up 2...one or a friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing it out this weekend for my 7 year anniversary!
PS...in the store it comes in a lovely "salmon" coral color, too and solid black.
Hey! had to come out of lurking to say congrats on the baby & you look great! I'm another postpartum mom wearing this dress (today!) Our new little boy was born 5/6 and this dress has been so easy to wear. He is number 3 so I can't handle much more than pull on clothes this summer. Keep feeling good & thanks for the blog.

mandaA: Thanks for commenting! Oh boy - #3! Right now I can't even wrap my head around 3 - still trying to figure out how to nurse a baby and put a toddler on the potty at the same time!! aahhh!!
ReplyDeleteChristy: Thank you so much!! Was the salmon coral color in a solid, or striped like this black one!?! Sounds cute!
Hi Lindsey,The salmon is not striped, but it is so pretty!
