A couple of week ago I went to return a Loft dress I had bought from the outlet and ended up coming home with this dress from the Ann Taylor Factory Store. I was still debating whether to keep the dress or return it and so it sat in my closet unworn.
For once my indecisiveness turned out to be a good thing because the dress turned out to be just what I needed for a party event this past Saturday. Actually it was more of a huge cultural event rather than just a simple party. It was my husband's Uncle's naming party and these types of events usually last all day. They were planning on having over a hundred guests so there was a lot of food to prepare.
I originally wore black pumps and no red belt but had to change into sandals because, as it turned out, I was the designated errand girl. I had to go shopping for all the last minute things that were still needed. The event was good but I was exhausted by the end of the night. The dress is made of 100% cotton and machine washable so I didn't have to worry about ruining the dress if anything got on it. The dress also had pockets which made it so much easier on me because I had a place to put my keys and cell phone.
Have a good weekend. Hopefully I'll have a quiet and relaxing one this time.=)

Thanks Jasmine. Yes that is the same dress you saw on instagram.
DeleteYour dress is so pretty and classic. I love it. That polka-dot has a lot of size, which is interesting. I love that you paired with red. Really good idea!
ReplyDeleteThat party sounds really interesting to me. I don't know so much about other culture than mine, so good to know.

ReplyDeleteThank Rinny for stopping by my blog and your sweet comment.
DeleteThis is a great dress! it has a vintage vibe and I've not been to ann taylor factory store in some time. If you decide to wash this dress at home, make sure you wash it in cold and don't put it through the dryer. It'll horribly fade...
ReplyDeleteBessie thank you so much for the info.
DeleteSo classy!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love this color combo!
ReplyDeleteI love anything that has unexpected pockets. Love dresses, skirts, you name it. Your dress is adorable!
