a weakness for biplanes

A few weekends ago, Boyfriend took me to Anthropologie before we headed out to dinner. I gravitated towards the The Dress and took it to the fitting room with me, even though I had told myself before that I would not get it until it went on sale. I wiggled into it, pulled the bodice up, and did a few twirls in the mirror. Love. Then Boyfriend saw it on and declared that I needed it.

"I like the planes," he said. And with that, my willpower crumbled and The Dress was mine. (I AM WEAK.)

Oh yes, readers, the Wright dress is now in my possession. You can see my review of it here. Please excuse the wrinkles. You all know that I hate ironing, and after this dress sat in my closet for a few weeks because cold spells made it unwearable until now, it has gathered quite a few rumples. But that didn't stop me from traipsing out the door in it. The best part? It comes with detachable straps. I didn't even realize this until I was putting it on today. This is awesome news for members of the Chests That Can Barely Hold Up a Strapless Frock Committee. The straps are bra-strap style and it was easy to put them into place. WIN.
