It was so lovely to have this colorful star print dress during these dreary days of winter. The colors in this were marvelously unusual (not the typical primary colors), which made it fun to coordinate accessories. The length was good & the twirl in the skirt was fabulous...but the fit was off. I wish eShakti sizing was more consistent...I size up to a 30 for non-stretch prints (which typically works), but this one was too big on me.
At first I didn't think I had the right cardigan to wear with this dress...but then I *finally* got around to organizing my cardigans. I have SO many that I just hung them all up in my closet so I could see them, but they were in no kind of order. So, I finally separated them into solids & prints...& came across this sparkly number. Sparkly like stars.
I'm terrible at taking photos of outerwear or purses that are part of my outfit...so here's a coat...I found it when we moved...new with the sale tags still attached. I will admit I have no idea where it came from. It's suede with foofy wool fringe that is always in the way & gets me loads of compliments each time I wear it.
It was extremely icy & rather cold on this photo day...I penguin walked into a spot & was afraid to move lest I fall on my ass...well, my knees...my ass would cushion my fall, but my knees always get the abuse.
My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Overdrive; UD eyeshadow in Jilted, Freak, & Stranded; Aubergine lipstick from Bite Beauty; & OPI nail polish in Get Cherried Away.
I first wore this dress on Kate's birthday...we went to our usual farmers' market, but also checked out the west side market (suuuuper small) because they had a vendor the girlie likes that sells corn tortillas. Then we met Jason at Joon for an Afghani brunch...the proceeds are split between the women who cooked it & other Afghanistan refugees in the Madison area.
It was all tasty, but Jason's Mashawa was the best. The birthday girl & her beau...
I did not wear any part of this outfit to visit Angie & Freddie...but there was Sal's pizza & baby worshipping. I wore this outfit another time to work & then to browse Confectionique's L'Amour valentine themed market where I picked up a blue beaded tassel & David found a book.
