Dress: Material Girl for Macy's, Sandals: Candies (similar), Earrings: Target (similar), Bracelet: c/o Mimi Baby Boutique
This is a dressy look for me! I wore it to the wedding reception for my dear friends Zoë & Jeff, who got married earlier this month in California. Their in-town reception was this past Saturday and it was so nice to get dressed up and celebrate with them.
I have been looking for a dress with sleeves that can be either dressed up or dressed down, and I think this one by Material Girl—which I just picked up Saturday from Macy's—fit the bill. Plus, it was less than $50, so the price was right. I look forward to styling this with tights and boots and possibly even a leather jacket this fall.
Would you believe I've had those stilettos since I was 16? My mom bought them for me back when I was going to acting & modeling (ha!) classes and auditions, and those were my runway shoes. In fact, I even wore them on the runway in New York during a big modeling & acting conference. Needless to say, I didn't get "discovered," but it sure was a time for the memory books. These stilettos may not be hitting the runway these days, but they are staples in my closet that I hold on to for fancy parties or whenever I get the chance to dress up.

Looks good! I like the neckline and sleeves.
you look great aunie!!
PRETTY!!!!
Me too! They had this dress in green and red also, but the black stood out the most :)
Thanks Martha! I did too... they were different than a lot of the others with similar styles.
You're so sweet! Thanks Cait!
The shoes have held up really well after all those years! You must have LOTS of pairs of shoes. ;)
PS, the dress is ADORABLE! I'm going to see if I can find it at Macy's when I'm down to the US in a few weeks!
Love love love that dress - and under $50?! Awesome! Cute shoes, too!
Love the LBD! It looks like the perfect look to dress up and dress down. Can't wait to se what you do with it!
:) I don't have TONS of shoes... just don't get dressed up too often, you know? :)
I hope they still have it. It was on the regular rack Saturday so if you don't find it there check the sale racks. They also had it in emerald & red.
Yes, can you believe it? With tax it came to $48 :)
I plan on wearing it to a formal event in a couple weeks and dressed down and casual for church!
you look goooooorgeous!
Ooooo! So pretty! I love that dress! I'm going to a James Bond-themed birthday party next weekend where we're encouraged to dress in "Bond attire." Of course for girls, that could mean anything really depending on what Bond decade you're in. But I think this dress would be good for that! Hmm...might have to go to Macy's. ;) And I have a pair of shoes from when I was 16, too. Some heels I wore to homecoming. Oh! And I was an acting/directing major in college so we have that in common, btw. :)
Cute dress! I would love a dress like that, but alas, I don't have the legs for it. *sniff sniff* You look fantastic!
you look so so beautiful!
Beautiful dress! I love Macy's, unfortunately we don't have one in Canada so I almost never get to shop there. :(

That dress is fabulous! You look beautiful as always!
Could you stop being so gorgeous and making the rest of us look back? ;) Joking! You do look gorgeous though, I absolutely love that dress!!
So pretty!
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!
Modeling classes? Well no wonder your pictures are always so lovely. Betcha didn't know that you were practicing to be a BLOGGER someday! (Did blogging even exist back then....?)
Oh you're way too nice to me... but thank you, Hallie!
See... so much in common! And guess what? I wore these heels to homecoming AND prom... and just about every high school dance :) I also have a pair in nude, but they are trashed for some reason.
Oh please, girl. You could totally rock it!
You're incredibly kind, thank you Kelsey!
Oh darn! Can you ever buy things online? I've never been to Canada!
Well you're so stinkin' sweet. Thanks Mackensie! :)
Thank you so much, I feel like I'm still trying to figure out how to style it!
Oh you're so sweet... now I just need to learn how to smile for photos :)
You're way too nice to me, Cassie. Thank you so much... I almost didn't even post these photos... I just didn't feel 100% about them :)
Nope, don't think it did. That was back in the day of good 'ol AOL! :) And thank you... like I said, I was much more into the acting side of things.
Oh, absolutely. I am just hesitant to purchase clothes online when I don't know how they fit. Most of the time I am a small, but sometimes I am a medium. Then the hassle of having to return something if it doesn't fit right. Oh wells! :)
SO cute! I love that dress. She will be amazing with tights and boots too!
I know what you mean by that! I'm always in between in sizes, too!
Thanks Julie!!! I know... can't wait to test that out.
