I wore this outfit to work & to see a concert with Kate. I wanted to love this dress...it looked fun & I typically like Taylor Dresses. The bottom was a good fit, but the top was all wrong...too big all over, but especially the arm holes. And those cap sleeves...can you really call those cap sleeves?? Those gave me a boxy linebacker look that just wasn't attractive. And then there was the horrible thick scuba fabric. Sometimes scuba fabric works, but not here. Oh, & I nearly forgot my boobs...where did they go?? This design & neckline minimized them into nonexistence.
I wouldn't let Kate eat until we took photos...she's so good to me. My need for a different pose overrode my desire to hide my 3 inch larger arm. The girlie is also wearing GB, Dip Dye High Lo Hem Dress by Karen Kane.
Weenie Mac & Fatty Boombalatty (isn't that fun to say?) at The Shitty Barn to see Kris Delmhorst. During intermission, we enjoyed the peanut butter ice cream...soooooo peanut buttery!
My make-up that day included...Junkshow & Perversion eyeshadow from Urban Decay's Vice Ltd palette, a mixture of UD Illicit & Bite Beauty's Quince lipsticks, & Morgan Taylor's J'Adore My Mani (pink sparkle!) on my nails.
Not only did your Girls vanish, but there is a very odd visual illusion going on with the skirt.. It is a shame because I love the concept of this dress and I love the print. I wonder if the prints were swapped, what it would look like then.. :)
ReplyDeleteYour make up is amazing, as always. ;)
I saw this dress on a Gwynnie Bee promo and fell in love. I'm bummed that it didn't work out for you, but I guess that's the benefit of Gwynnie Bee. It's not a major loss if it doesn't work out! I do love the Harlequin vibe of the print, though!
