Finding and understanding your body type

dresses purchased on my trip

We didn't really do too much shopping on our trip to Prague and Vienna. There was just too much to see, do, and eat! But I did get a couple fun dresses.

Here is a dress from H&M. http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....Mdress.jpg

I love that it's free and easy while still having some structure, can be dressed up or down, and is orange (my favorite color.)

This is a dress from Mango. http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....odress.jpg

It's a very interesting fabric. It's lycra but so drapey. It will be a great dress for our HOT, HOT, HOT summers because it looks dressy but is easy care and lightweight. It is currently at the tailor for shortening.

Mango had this dress I REALLY wanted. Well, at least I wanted to try it on. They didn't have my size in the two stores we saw. It was a one-shoulder dress with a ruffle on the one shoulder in a tan snakeskin print. I loved it. It's probably for the best, though. I have no idea where I would wear something like that.

Love both dresses. They look fantastic on you. I especially love the vibrant colors that you are wearing. Very daring and very smashing on you.

Wow, both dresses look great on you! Please post some pics of that second one after you get it altered - I bet it will look fantastic with some sexy heels!

Great to see you back Alecia! And SO lovely to see your pretty face! I didn't get a chance to reply to your holiday thread, but it seems like you had a fantastic vacation!!

The orange H&M dress is fabulous (love the pattern).
I love the cut of the Mango dress too!

I haven't seen either of them in the shops here. I think I'll go have another look;-)

Do you have a Mango where you live Alecia? Maybe they have the snakeskin dress there?-)

Shana, I will definitely post a pic post-tailor. I'm excited for it to come home.

Inge, we don't have a Mango close by. Wish we did. They have fun stuff. Isn't the cut of the Mango dress I did bring home fun? I loved that it was a fresh approach to accentuating the waist.

Such fabulous colors. Both dresses are great, but I'm particularly fascinated by the second dress! Please post pictures after it is hemmed.

Wow Alecia!! Both dresses are lovely in their very different ways. First dress looks so nice and comfy. Second one shows off your great figure and what fun colours!!!

You are sizzling in both of those dresses. I can't wait to see the second one when it comes home from the tailor. Great choices. You are so lucky you can wear orange. It is great to see your beautiful smile.

Those dresses look fantastic on you, especially the 2nd one.
And the colors seem to match you perfectly. :)

I really like both dresses, but the second dress is amazing, I want it!

Hehee, I looked at this post briefly yesterday and wondered how Angie would feel about the Mango dress. I guessed right!

Alecia, great finds! I like them both. And the colors are *smashing* on you! Have loads of fun wearing these.

Wow, I love BOTH of those dresses! I want to steal them! :D Enjoy.

Alecia, great dresses, and you look HOT in them (your sweet smile being a huge part of it).
Hmmm ... I saw that Mango dress in a store and it didn't look half as good on the hanger as it looks on you, so I didn't even try it on. You have a very good eye for treasures!

Wow! Thanks everyone. I am excited to have found a dress Angie would consider wearing. Now that's an accomplishment!
