Stunning color combination...what a spectacular spring green, great fit & flare shape, & dramatic sleeves were the things I was smitten with in this frock. However, I felt the fabric was incredibly thick & was too big, as well as boxy, on top...the bottom fit well. I wore this dress to the film fest for part of day 3 & on day 4.
The only time we had to take photos between movies was at 12:30...so the sun was directly overhead...which makes for lots of unflattering shadows...plus it was windy...but it's what we had to work with.
Green was my favorite color for a long time, so I've got an extraordinary amount of green jewelry that I rarely get to wear anymore, so it was nice to break out this gorgeous vintage necklace.
My make-up with this outfit included...Abyss eyeliner by Urban Decay; Deep Blue eyeliner from NYX; UD eyeshadow in Dragon, Freeze, & Bobby Dazzle; Bite Beauty lipstick in Spiced Plum; & China Glaze nail polish in Blue Sparrow.
The no seat holding rule was new this year...& I don't like change. I see a lot of movies & when I'm fortunate enough to see two back to back in the same theater...it was nice to leave a coat behind to save seats for the next show. I saw three new trailers...& my favorite movie was Hal, a documentary about Hal Ashby...the director of Harold & Maude, Being There, & other 70s classics.
I don't think it looks boxy - but it's also about how you feel in something. I love the blue & green, and I love the blue polish. China Glaze sometimes hits it way out of the park.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I find dresses are often too big on top for me because I'm pear shaped & clothing makers expect me to have much bigger boobs than I do.
