BRUISED






 Scarf(similar): GAP, Earrings: Forever21, Dress(old): Old Navy, Bangles(similar): Express,
Cone Cuff: Poshlocket, Spiked Bracelet: Stella & Dot, Jacket: ASOS

Today's look is black and blue, like a bruise, but less painful and without the weird color change thing. Although this dress is super comfortable (a word that according to Stacey London and Clinton Kelly should never be associated with your wardrobe), it doesn't get a lot of wear since it requires a certain amount of effort to suck in the gut. Perhaps it is time to bite the bullet and start investing in shape wear (I feel like maybe I am a little young to be worrying about that, but I have had two kids, so....).

  1. I love your dress and it shows your wonderful feminine curves in a perfect way! Only women worry about them while every man will appreciate such a lovely feminine figure.
    I was laughing about sucking in the gut :-)
    As you already read in my last post, I do have shape wear dresses and they actually don't look frightening but quite sexy. Ok, I wouldn't wear those high waist knickers on Valentine's day... ;-)

      It was actually your most recent post that put shape wear on the brain.... You always leave the nicest comments!

  2. I can't even dignify the "gut" thing with a response, except for the fact that I obviously am. If I can look like that BEFORE two children I'll be pretty jazzed!
