I'm still here, surviving the winter in Utah. Actually this winter has been amazingly mild and I keep pretending it's spring. David and I went on a double date the other night, first to check out the new Shabby Apple store at the Fashion Place mall and then to dinner.
I've drooled over Shabby Apple dresses online for a while and it was fun to actually try some on. David has a thing for a-line skirts, while my personal style is more form fitting pencil skirts. But I have to concede that a-line dresses flatter just about everyone including me. So some of these dresses are his picks.
I didn't buy one, but I think I'm going to- which should I go for?
The KimK dress
I've been drooling over the slate-grey dress version of this dress online. I didn't realize that it created curves on a curve-less model so on me it just emphasized things and I felt very Kim Kardashian in it (minus the butt... I have no booty). But I love the sleeve and dress length and it was soooo comfortable.
The princess dress
This dress is kind of shimmery up close. I probably couldn't wear it to work so that kind of lessens the appeal for me, but it did make me feel like I was playing dress up in a really pretty dress. It would be a church dress only purchase.
Summertime Schoolgirl
I loved the weight of the fabric- it felt really light and flowy. I also loved the pockets in the front of this dress. It felt like a fun spring/summer dress; I can imagine it with some really cute wedges.
Polkadot Dress
I think I tried on the wrong size, but I still don't know if I would have fallen in love with it. It felt a little candy striper to me. I wanted to love it though, with it's pockets and polka dots. The fabric felt kind of heavy like canvas, it might have worked better in a lighter fabric.
I don't know if it's cheating showing me wearing clothes I don't actually own, but hey, it's fun to shop!
