I went out yesterday to find a good bra and tops for yoga (struck out on tops but ordered a bra I think will work, my size is so hard to find!). But got sidetracked into a local boutique where I’ve found some good stuff. I tried on three dresses and these two actually looked good enough to share.

The ruffles put me off of the first one, but the SA thought it might suit me. Upon trying it on, I liked it more than I thought I would. I like the floral print on the black background, and the hemline is wonderful - it comes up on the sides and shows the best part of my legs while hiding the not so great parts. I’d keep the footwear edgy to counteract the girliness. It’s beautifully lightweight and feels so fun. Hubs and I are going away for a beach resort vacation for our anniversary in a few weeks, and I can’t help but imagine this for festive dinner in Mexico.

The second one is more versatile and more obviously “me” — I like the hemline, and it looks nice with a long pendant with a white or light stone to break up the black and bookend the cream stripes at the hem (I didn’t take pics that way but included a photo of the kind of pendant I’m talking about). This one dresses up or down nicely and I could see wearing it on the plane trip (or pretty much anywhere) with sandals and a cropped jacket.

I actually bought the second one. I left the first one behind but it’s still on my mind. But it might just be that in my mind, I’m already in Cabo and I’m a bit carried away with the idea of something flirty and romantic for our anniversary. I have a feeling my suitcase for our trip will be two swimsuits, a couple of tees, a pair of shorts, and a handful of dresses!

Talk me into or out of it?
