Conclusion:
Lovely little dress!
I'm glad you wrestled with that fabric with perseverance cuz You look marvelous! I like it paired with the solid "jacket" and belt more than wearing the dress alone though. For me, too much animal print ...
ReplyDeleteWell, the fight was worth it- this looks great on you! I like it with and without the cardigan. It's always good when you can get multiple looks out of a garment.
