the twirly blueberry

I love looking at other OOTD blogs for inspiration. Colors, textures, proportions -- you get the idea. There are so many good looking ladies out there who know how to put together a knockout look day after day (just check out everyone on my "READ" list!) that it's almost ludicrous. How do you gals do it? I mean, seriously?

But the point is that while I love looking at blogs for inspiration, I typically don't set out to get exactly what the blogger is wearing. Except in a few cases.

This is one of them.

When I saw Rosa over on Love at First Shop rocking this dress, I think my eyes went like this:

O____O

Hello, super cute! And it kind of reminds me of the Star Trek dresses from the original series, except not as scandalously short and with a fun flared skirt (which I like to think means I'm of a higher rank on the Enterprise) (maybe a commodore) (or a sultan).

If only the lighting and my hair had cooperated better on the day I wore this dress. *shakes fist*

  3. Eek! That dress is DARLING! I can see why you got the same dress--the color, the cut, the *everything* is perfect. I always forget how much I like drop-waist dresses, I definitely need to add more to my arsenal.

    And ugh, chipped nails. I spent all day at work waving my hands around really fast, hoping no one would notice and/or just assume that I picked up a weird conversion twitching disorder while (secretly) watching too much HLN. I could be your chipped polish first matey. :(

  13. I love that color on you! And the flirty hem!

    I snagged that dress right after I saw Rosa wear it too, but it was all wrong on me - when I tried it on, I totally understood the whole "dress is wearing me" saying!
