______This outfit features another lovely dress that DressesStylist sent me for review. This one is flowy and fabulous, and just like the first dress I received, is of high-quality. Though still quite dressy, I feel that this one is a lot more acceptable for day-to-day wear. The criss-cross back is a cute detail, and I also adore the asymmetrical chiffon hemline since the layers catch the wind so elegantly. The hemline is like a cape, but for your booty. A booty cape. My friends, join me as we begin the generation of the booty cape people.
______The deep red color is another nice little element, and I'm pretty sure it's the exact color of dragon blood. I don't know what color dragon blood would actually be since dragons are extinct and all, but if I did know, I'd say their blood was the color of this dress. I sure hope dragons stop being extinct soon so we can find out. Dragon blood just sounds rad. It sounds even cooler when you take the space out of it words together: dragonblood. That would be an awesome book title. I should write book titles. Is that a job--writing book titles, and nothing more? It should be.
______I feel like this post is pretty choppy, and I'm going to end this post by saying, "I hope it stops raining." I like the rain and all, but not when it interferes with my morning bike rides. I much prefer foggy mornings. Every morning last week, I was able to ride around campus in the fog, and it made for the best bike rides in the history of bike rides ever. Fog is neat because it not only devours all the sounds and brave souls around it like some semi-transparent sponge, but it also makes the temperature perfect--not too extreme on either side, just the ideal 55 degree lovechild of hot and cold.

You certainly know how to make a booty cape look elegant. And yes, the dragon blood color is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHope the rain stops and the perfect fog rolls back in.
Chic on the Cheap
Fog is my favorite too- as you say it means it's the perfect temperature out, and also makes for amazing photography. I love the detail droplet shots though! They are stunning. You always look like a chic princess or something in whatever you wear. Especially talking of dragonblood, I feel as though you could be a chic medieval princess who orders a knight to kill a dragon for her so she can dye her dress with it's blood. Haha! I meant that to be a compliment in any case...stunning as always!
ReplyDeleteOh sweetie really cute and beautiful drss.

ReplyDeleteI really like how you just made a new term for me to use. Booty cape is so going into my regular vocabulary :D (on a side note: CAFE CAPES!!!)
ReplyDeleteAlso, remember, rain is a good thing Ali ;)
Although I agree about fog. Fog is a lovely thing - tis magical! Glad you've gotten in some good bike rides.
Anyway, this dress? I think you picked a gorgeous one! I love the zebra heels you paired with it too. Just awesome all around!

You look amazing! Great photos and those shoes go perfectly with that dress.
ReplyDeleteThose shoes!!! So pretty! Love them! And the dress - is amazing! I agree, it's not so dressy that you couldn't wear it on a day to day basis, which I like more. And booty cape! So much more of a better term than 'hi-low' and cuter!

Your dress is so beautiful! I really like the booty cape (haha) and the color. Hmmm I always assumed dragonblood was green for some reason but I guess it would make more sense for it to be red...OR IT COULD BE BOTH :D Ooo I love biking in the fog too, it feels much more like an adventure.
