Dots are a great choice for you, Lyn, now, and apparently 3 years ago! It's terrific that this has the length you're loving now.

It looks great. And completely congruent with your current style!

I've got two similar-story dresses in my wardrobe right now. I bought them in April 2012 while travelling in the US with the intent to wear them during my spring/summer (I'm in Australia). However I fell pregnant that September and by the time it was warm enough to wear them they didn't fit! The following spring/summer I was busy being a new mum and dresses weren't even getting a look in. I'm now counting down the weeks till spring 2014 so I can finally wear them! On the plus side I tried them on recently and they both still fit :).

I wholeheartedly agree about wearing now. Not much is worse than finding something unworn in your closet that looks great on. I am a total sucker for big dots and deep pinks so it is obviously right up my alley.
A great look. I'm glad you found it.
