Don-ning a Dress

I’m blaming my recent craving for lady-like sheath dresses on Mad Men. The classic silhouettes, longer hemlines, and neutral color palettes have been luring me in. Anything to win the heart of Don Draper, really. When I saw this black and beige linen sheath dress on a rack at Marshalls, I scurried over to investigate! The last one. By one of my favorite designers. In my size. In one of my favorite color combinations. I didn’t even look at the price tag. (Which is one of my worst habits, but I tell myself it’s okay to do at Marshalls since everything is such a score. #shopaholic #overit)

Nor did I let this dress out of my give-me-it-it’s-mine-grip. Do you know what I mean? That feeling when you have just won the fashion-bargain-lottery? You’re terrified that if you let your little gem out of your hands that someone else will scoop it up and crush your every dream. I couldn’t get to the check out fast enough! Just go ahead and check me into S.A

I wore this dress to the office earlier this week, but I’m also envisioning it accompanying me to brunch, on weekend getaways, and maybe even to a bridal shower or two!

    I mean, come on. This dress is perfect. It’s perfect on a hanger and then even more perfect with how it fits you. And then there’s a belt with a bow. And basically, I’m in love.
