L is for the way you Look at me

The long overdue Valentine's Day outfit post is finally here, no thanks to my immune system wrasslin' (as Dinagideon would say) with some cough-y and headache-y bugs.

I had been coveting J.Crew's Campo de' fiore dress since I first laid eyes on it years ago. Alas, it proved to be a cruel mistress, teasing me with its soft fabric, bold colors, and whimsical floral design only to break my heart with its price tag. But I shall not pine away in lover's woe anymore, for last week, thanks to a little matchmaker called 'eBay,' me and the Campo de' fiore dress were finally united. And for a much cheaper price. Looks like this little frock had to lower its standards to be with me, but no matter:

'campo de' fiore' sweaterdress, j.crew (circa '08)
cropped tuxedo blazer, h&m
black tights + leaf pointelle tights, j.crew [x-ish]
'polly' heels, tahari [x]
wide belt, calvin klein
stone necklace, j.crew outlet

guuueeesssss whoooo?

Boyfriend wants to join the fun, and who am I to deny him?

The dress is AMAZING. It's suuuper soft and doesn't cling too much to where I'll vow to eat nothing but ice cubes and air for the next 3 months. It is just fitted enough to where I can see my girlish form. In other words: perfection. If anyone is interested, I'm wearing a size Small and I usually wear a size 4 in J.Crew dresses.

Boyfriend and I had dinner at a great Italian place near the Galleria area. I wanted to take photographs, but the lighting in the restaurant was so dim - er, I mean, romantic - that I was afraid that if my camera flash went off, I'd blind everyone within a ten-foot radius. But the meal was fantastic and afterwards Boyfriend and I went home to watch the second season of Futurama together. What more could a girl ask for?
