It's funny, when I first wore this dress I didn't like it. It felt too much - too much fabric, the mullet skirt, the bold color. Now it has become a favorite because while it looks polished it's super duper comfortable and easy. It's easy to switch up the look and level of formality with a change of accessories. I've worn it before with a wide belt, and I like it equally well with strappy heels or pumps.
Speaking of pumps, on Sunday I was perusing 6pm.com (those of you who follow on Facebook know since I kept posting really awesome deals from their Cinco de Mayo sale) to find shoes for K and E. Found nothing for them, was ready to sign out and saw these for $25. I have had no luck with nude shoes the past few springs, figured for such a price I could try and if they sucked, could return or sell on eBay. Well they're super close to my skintone, they're comfortable, and a reasonable heel height. While I really wanted pointy for a more classic look and to look better with pants, the round toe is fun and not too twee and gives my toes more wiggle room.
