This is the final dress of the 5 I ordered from Scarlett & Jo last year...all of which I am in love with...with the exception of the very first dress I tried...which I HATED. The colors & pattern of this 40s inspired dress were my favorite...especially the dots of yellow that I tried to bring out more with my cardigan. The fit, flow, & length of this dress were just right, but I could have done without the back tie...& I cut out the shoulder pads.
This frock has pretty fluttery angel sleeves under the sweater (that I forgot to take off).
These shoes were a fabulous Milwaukee thrift store find...one of my rare non-Savers scores.
My makeup with this outfit included...NYX eyeliner in Deep Blue; Urban Decay eyeshadow in Alchemy, Bondage, Last Sin, & Bobby Dazzle; Dubonnet Amplified lipstick from MAC; & Shearling Darling nail polish by Essie.
I wore this outfit on days 6 & 8 of the film fest, ate dinner between films, & saw one last new trailer. I saw 9/12 of the trailers...so I really only missed 2 since the opening night one was live...& I think one was shown only at kids movies...how did I miss one?! All the trailers are online...this is mostly for me so I remember to watch them later to see what I missed.
We got our refrigerator & freezer doors back...they turned out beautifully!
I got a bunch of leggings from Torrid...which I never took pictures of...but the ones I was most excited by are LEMONS...similar to this photo I found online of a lemon jumpsuit. Also, this pattern mixed dress & orange plaid leggings from ASOS. Orange plaid. OMG.
I love the colors in the dress, and I love love love the shoes. I had a similar pair from Clarks that I wore completely out, and I'm on the hunt for a replacement -- I was surprised at how much the color worked with outfits! Also, even though yellow is usually not my color, I like the pop of yellow with this outfit.
ReplyDeleteAnd wtf with the shoulder pads? What year IS this? I remember hating them even way back when. My friends and I converted them to push-up pads for our bras :)
Thank you so much! I find both red & Burgundy shoes always go with nearly everything. Bra padding is about all shoulder pads are good for ;)

ReplyDeleteHi meshel, would you be open to selling the orange plaid leggings? I've been looking for it everywhere. What size do you have?
