BLB,

Do you own any tall black boots?

What a beautiful dress and you are stunning in it. I like the flats and the bolero with the dress.

Nice dress, BLB and congratulations!

I like it matched with the darker sheer hose and black cardi best. Do you have a longer cardi you could belt? Dressy knee-high boots would seal the deal. Do you have those too?

Yeap, I vote for darker sheer hose and black cardi! It would look funky if you wore them with boots, so I like that you have gotten that suggestion!

But otherwise, I like them with the plain black pumps best.

Congrats on getting ur Master's! That's huge!! :-)

Another vote for sheer back hose and black cardi! Very pretty dress and it looks great on you.

Great, thank you all so much! I do have a black boyfriend cardi and a pair of dressy black boots. I never thought of trying them with the dress. I'll try them on some time in the next few days and take a photo for you all :)

Oh, and I wanted to note that I found that dress at one of my local consignment stores--for $8! I'm pretty lucky because I live in an area of Vancouver that has nearly a dozen excellent consignment and thrift stores within 10 minutes of me. Shopping thrift and consignment is totally a learned skill, but it's been worth the time and annoyance for me while living on a student budget.
