You are tenacious, Vicki! An admirable quality. Wow

I love the look with red flats! To my eye, this is the only way to go with this dress. Heels will take away from the look because the frock is very short. But the flats add panache and style. Well done!

Funniest houndstooth dress story ever! It was definitely worth it because you look great.

Hi Vicki! I did miss out on this post, but boy you had me reading it just now with a huge smile on my face! You are a storyteller...
I love the versatility of this dress and you wear it beautifully! A very belated happy thanksgiving from your dress-sister

You make shopping sound FUN! I'm not a keen shopper, but I am an enthusiastic researcher You look fabulous in that dress! Well worth the effort.

Oh my!!! I looooooooooooove your red flat shoes!!! Where did you get those little precious? They're absolutely adorable!

Thanks, Mini, I posted the link, bit if you can't find it, they are the Viv flats from J. Crew and the red is a perfect color. I also liked one called Topiary, a minty sea foam green, but thought the red would be more useful.
