Even though I bought a dress that I think I will wear for my niece’s wedding this summer, I am continuing to keep my eyes peeled for other options, just in case something else would appeal to me more, and not require a new shoe purchase (the dress I bought does require new shoes, since it doesn’t really look good with my only suitably dressy shoes, the Rockstuds).

I was killing time at the mall today waiting for my car to be cleaned, and I spotted this one in WH/BM, so I decided to try it on. Oddly enough, I think I would need it in a petite to shorten the torso a little bit, but petites are only available online (how weird to be 5’7” and need a petite). I really like the floral print, and the fit is not bad (I’m aiming to lose some weight before then which would help the fit too). But when I looked at the rear view, I did not like the way they pieced together the pattern, so that two big flowers sit side-by-side on my behind. The only other dress in my size had the same issue, not quite as bad as this one, but distracting nonetheless. So annoying.

Bonus quick WIW photo. It’s cold and windy but at least my turquoise pea coat is springlike in color.
