Dangit, I can blame you for pulling the trigger on this dress!

I bought this version recently:

And the fit is absolutely amazing for apples. Skims in all the right places, and pattern is strategically placed. Tummy disappears. Shows off legs -- on the shorter side but not too short.
So amazing, I have wanted to duplicate, but .....I am so-so about the pink/raspberry/fuschia pattern for me!!! Despite positive comments whenever I wear something so bright like that, I tend to feel like I'm too bright, if you know what I mean? But seeing you pull it off... I finally pulled the trigger and ordered.
I have also debated endlessly about that particular EF dress, though not necessarily raspberry version....I love the cut of it and it's so down my alley.... oh, don't tempt me!
As for your shoe choices, I like all three, but going to vote for #1&2 for the bookending effect. Hair looks gorgeous and the frames are the finishing touch!
(If this post wasn't obvious, I think you should try the Donna Morgan dress too......hint hint!)
