*C Wanted to Know what the hubby thought {and I'm thinkin' I should include this in every outfit post maybe?} ...As I walked into the office to kiss him goodbye he said "You look pretty" ...so I'm guessing he liked it. {also note that legs and cleavage are showing which always wins in his book ...lol}





I bought this dress in Vegas @ BCBG in 2006 and I loved it ...and it's been hanging in my closet ever since. Today is the first day it's seen the light of day and really it's only because it never looked quite right on.

Originally, I thought I'd wear it with light shoes and a light sweater but it always came across as too sweet {and kind of frumpy}. A couple weeks ago I was craving a 90's feel; maybe a floral dress with a cropped leather jacket and this dress came to mind ...but it still didn't seem right in my head.

Last week @ thecoveted.net, Jennine posted a little diddy called "This Old Rag" where she wrote about items in her closet she never wore but couldn't part with then asked us to show her what we don't wear in our closet. The day after I read that post, I found that vintage dress on the back of my closet door that I never wear but just couldn't get rid of and wore it last week ...and now this. So, thanks Jennine ...for inspiring :)
