WIW - A Dress Worthy of an Urban Warrior Princess...AYEEEE YA-YA-YA-YA

Sorry I'm eating and food makes me hyper.

I looooooooove this dress! I found it last year at Nordstrom Rack and i swear the heavens parted and the angels sang. I felt like everything about it was 100% "me" AND i could afford it! Lovely day!

It was also the day when i heard a voice saying behind me, "Do NOT look at the shirts. You have enough shirts. DO. NOT. LOOK". Which at first I thought was God having an impromptu intervention with me but it actually turned out to be a lady. Completely by herself. I really wanted to be friends with her.

Thanks for looking!

Ahahaha! Awesome story - God works in mysterious ways, alright.

Love love love that dress, and the fringe earrings are perfect with it.

Wow, this really is YOU! I love the pink dress with lace overlay and black boots and biker jacket! You pull this off like no other! Too bad your hair isn't still pink!

I've had those moments with dresses before--isn't it the best feeling when your dress destiny is fulfilled?

That dress is so you!

Made for you! Love the "nailhead" type detail in the dress and how you've echoed that in your earrings and bracelets. I do think I see in pic 4 that the heavens have indeed parted and a ray of light (pink) is breaking through. Is that the hallelujah chorus I hear?

Nicole, this is an amazing dress with an amazing story and I am so happy the universe gave you a big UWP *kiss* in Nordstrom Rack and that you also got to overhear another woman *dealing* with her own fashion issues that we can all appreciate! You look beautiful and I love your *call* and can here it all the way in Southern California!

Great dress! I think it looks very 'you'. I like how you kept your accessories fairly simple to let the dress stand out.

I only ever hear half a conversation people have on their cellphones, most of which make me want to call my husband and tell him how good he has it.

Great dress!

Not sure that God is a fashionista at heart, but most definitely the stars were in perfect alignment when you spotted that dress!

Nicole - studs, purple, mini - you're right, it is SO you, and you wear it so incredibly well.

You're hilarious.

Awesome dress! I love it. I read it as Gothic Boho. Not Goth. But Gothic in a 70s sense, as in Led Zeppellin Houses of the Holy/Alistair Crowley typic of Gothic feel.

(If that makes any sense at all.)

That dress has your name written all over

Thanks ladies! I"m glad we all agree this dress and me were meant to be.

Janet - Yes! I would love to have you along!

CocoLion - Love your description! Thanks!

Sara L. - Thanks! I tried to reign it in a little.

Angie - haha thanks. I always feel a little awkward in front of the camera. Especially if there's someone behind it. @_@

Vicki - lol awesome! And it's good to know you're not alone isn't it? XD

Suz - pfft Suz you silly. I think you are beautiful inside and out so i'd say the universe has been very fair to you. :*

merwoman - isn't that streak of light funny? I did not do that on purpose but i had to leave it in there. XD
