New (consigned) dress, have to share!

Sarah

I went to our local Buffalo Exchange yesterday, and not only did they buy everything I brought, but I found some real treasures!
A tweed JCrew jacket
MK shoes (these ones, actually - http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....&P=22)
And a lovely DVF dress (this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Cassidy-Mo......m20.l1116)

I love this dress and I'm wondering if you have suggestions for what shoes and accessories to pair with it? I am wearing it today with my pewter KC wedge sandals and a silver cuff because that's what I already have. I think it's a springy dress because of the blue and yellow, so I want to keep it lighter and fun.

So thanks for indulging me in my excitement and for helping me make a complete look.
The dress DOES have pockets that I plan on taking out. I like having pockets but they do bulge a little. I'll post photos soon.

YAY! Sarah, I'm so excited for you! I've been meaning to head into BF and see if they have anything good (I guess they do!).

I love what you have paired with it. Do you have a white denim jacket (I can't remember). If so, that would be a great cover up for it. I can't wait to see it in person!

wow!!!! Love the shoes, you can use them with skinnies, pencil skirts... I'm so envy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can pair the dress with a yellow cardi or denin jacket and yellow flats for a more casual look.

Thank you! Ana, yes I do have two denim jackets. One in a light wash and one dark.
I love the shoes too, rute. I was just looking at Nordstrom's shoe sale earlier yesterday and coveting them.
I forgot to mention that the dress had the price tag still on it, for full price. It's from a local boutique and I didn't see any sale tag stickers. But regardless, I love the dress no matter what.

Oh, I have been ogling shoes with that zipper style for ages! You are going to rock them!

Can't you wear the shoes and dress together? That contrast of springy and edgy would be so cool...

wellllll......I know you said you want to keep it lighter and fun but to me, those shoes are screaming to be worn WITH that dress! Honestly, I cannot imagine a more perfect match than those two items precisely bc the dress is sweet - the shoes will 'toughen' it up in all the right ways!

I would love to see the j.crew jacket. Great pieces!
