Thanks, ladies! I can't tell you how great this dress is. It doesn't wrinkle or bag out, it's SO comfortable, and it strikes the perfect balance for me of casual yet pulled-together. I can change up the look so easily with jewelry, accessories, and footwear. Even a cropped jacket if expecting cooler conditions.
If they offered it in another color, I'd probably duplicate!
It's funny, I have been keeping an eye out for a new pair of rose gold sandals, thinking these might be getting a bit "old" -- but not worn out, just been wearing them for 4+ years now. This is actually my second pair of these exact sandals. I wore the first pair a ton, but accidentally messed up the finish by getting them filthy in the Texas dust and then trying to clean them in a way I would not recommend So I bought a second pair and left the first ones in TX to knock around the ranch, even though I end up wearing boots there most of the time.
But anyway, after ordering and returning a few pairs of rose gold sandals that just didn't work for me, I put these on and remembered why I still love them even if they are not the absolute most of-the-moment style. Something about this style just looks really good on the foot and works for me, and it's classic but not out-of-date. I guess that's why I also have these in black, and a similar pair in a turquoise snake print. A lesson in appreciating what's in your closet and not always chasing the new.
