A dress, some boots, and workout gear

October 13, 2011

As soon as I posted about the Kiyonna Tamara Twist Dress, I went on and ordered it. I wore it today:

Shoes, old from Torrid
Too much blush, me

I love it. So comfortable and effortless, and it hangs well. I heard a couple people say that the bust was too large, but for me personally, it was fine. When I first put it on, thought it might be too large on top, but I re-adjusted the gathers and it was perfect. I could see where if you’re smaller busted it might be a concern. One thing I didn’t expect was that the skirt portion is double layered. It has a great weight and hangs beautifully with the extra weight. Really want to try this with cognac knee high riding boots, which I’m frantically on the hunt for.

Speaking of boots, I was sad to order and then have to return these boots:

These were too tight in the calf, which made me pretty bummed because I liked them and they were super comfortable in the foot. I would say if you’ve got a calf of 17 inch or smaller, these would work. I could zip them, but it was like sausage casing. Blech.

I wanted to also let you know about a giveaway I’ve got going on at Skinny Emmie: a Taffy Activewear double layer tank and yoga pant – complete workout outfit!

That’s about all for today. But I want to know: What is your FAVORITE piece of clothing, accessory, or jewelry right now?

    American Eagle jeggings. To tuck into boots. I thought these were only appropriate for skinny pre-teens, but to my delight they work great for me too! Of course, I have to order them online being a size 18, but worth it! They stretch a lot after wearing so in an hour they look just right.

    I’ve been trying to find some really pretty/sexy/cute clothes. I’m so glad to find this blog! Do you have any experience with ordering boots from some place like Hips & Curves? I’m in love with a pair there but can’t find a review to see how they run in the calves.

      I’ve only bought sleepwear from there, and it didn’t fit. I think their return policy is pretty good though, right? Couldn’t hurt to try!
