This blue silk dress might not look like anything special from the front, but my friends, it’s like the mullet of dresses. Business in the front; party in the back. Last week while waiting for a prescription to be filled I decided to peruse our ghetto TJ Maxx. It truly is a sad little TJ Maxx…our store gets all of the leftovers from the cool stores…from like two years ago. I only venture in there when I’m lookin’ to kill time because it’s a rare day I find something worth my while. This dress? Definitely worth my while. It’s so light and floaty I couldn’t resist. And then when I saw the back? Done. Deal. And it’s even more fabulous than the pictures show. The fancy detailing on the back goes clear up to the top. I would’ve gotten a couple of snaps of it sans cardigan, but it started to rain and since it’s silk I figured a downpour wasn’t in the dress’s best interest.
And the boots? Truly a fierce pair of cowboy boots; one of the few pairs of what I consider to be investment shoes that I own. I bought them from Sheplers probably fifteen years ago and honestly I don’t wear them nearly enough. The last time they made the blog was here paired with my tulle skirt. I really need to make an effort to wear them more often because they’re certainly worthy of a little fun now and then, don’t you think?
