HURRY CURRY

Har har har, my post title reminds me of Harry Caray, which in turn makes me think of THIS.

"Hey! What if... hey!"

Anyhoodle, I love this dress, but it has a problem with static cling. It tends to stick to my legs, making my crotch-area look really awkward. TMI? Maybe. Truth? Definitely.

I haven't replaced my can of Static Guard yet since I left my previous one at the parents' house when I moved out, but I found that a trusty ol' dryer sheet can de-static a troublesome dress just as admirably. Rub a fresh sheet of Bounce on the underside of the dress, then on your legs/tights, and presto! Cling crisis averted.

silky diamond print dress, f21
infinity cardigan, j.crew (in curry) (now extra 30% off!)
tights, xhilaration
quarter-strap heel, urban outfitters
woven belt, mom's
nest ring, etsy (yakarina)
gold bangle, kate spade




I'm in the process of revamping the layout here at ke.KE -- which basically means I've thought a lot about it but haven't done squat. Hopefully, I'll have something new up in the next few weeks.

    I love this color combo- the mustard with the turquoise is so lovely. You are too cute!

    And I wanted to let you know about my blog giveaway- a $50 Anthropologie Giftcard! It ends tomorrow- I would love it if you have a sec to check it out.

    Have a lovely day!

    Fantastic colors *___* I'm so in awe of you and Rosa (Love At First Shop) for being able to find such amazing pieces at F21. I've been going out of my mind trying to locate the orange button-tab cardi she wore on her blog a few days ago, and now your dress -_____-

    PS: The post title also made me think "hara-kiri" Guess that speaks to my mental state right now, from looking for these mysterious F21 items -______-

    Adorable as always Amy! :) Another option to try for the clinging dress is to wear a slip so that you have a *barrier* between it and your tights. A slip always makes a dress hang better and appear smooth over the body.

    your outfit is so cute today - colors and dress/long cardi combo. I had to buy static guard in Target the other day b/c my Tucker dress was almost up to my behind! Whew- glad I was in Target and the static guard was readily available!!

    This is too adorable and I love the color mixing.

    You aren't the only one who is thinking of a blog redesign but haven't done squat. I've been slacking on researching a good source. Maybe if I find a magic wand, all of the things on my to do list will get done. :)

    Everytime I see you in that dress I think "Rachel (from Glee, of course) copied Kelinda!" Love the shoes so much that I may order them. They are sitting in my basket as we speak...

    I love that blue dress. I love the rhyming post title. I usually rhyme random words together and tell my fiance to "hurry murry!" or "what's up, pup?" Ah, rhyming is fun.

    There's a restaurant in L.A. called Hurry Curry and that was the first thing I thought of when I saw your title. Then I saw I your dress and realized that I have the same one in pink! Love how you've styled it, I may wear it tomorrow :)

    I love this colour combo. And thanks for the advice about static cling - although i don't know what Bounce sheets are..i guess they are only available in the US?

    I didn't know that bounce would do that! I will have to dry it.

    Your outfit is too cute!

    I just love your mix of turquoise and olive green here! so cute!

    and I found my way to your blog on my desperate search for a chambray tuxedo shirt (apparently the gap and the j.crew were the only ones in existence, haha)

    Gorgeous dress. I never find anything that cute when I go to f21. Maybe I need to look harder or shop online.
