Victory! (rolls) A Limited Edition Dress!

I scored this ah-may-zing dress from a shopmycloset on instagram. $15!! It's a limited edition Heartbreaker Fashion (now Heart of Haute) dress. I can't believe my luck, finding this like-new dress in my size for such a sweet deal.  This was also my first attempt at victory rolls.  I had some time today to attempt a new hairstyle, and Amelia of Junebugs and Georgia Peaches had posted a tutorial not too long ago, so I figured I'd give it a whirl.  She's not kidding, her tutorial is definitely the easy to follow!  It's definitely one of the more daring hairstyles I've tried, and while I like it, I'll definitely have to get used to it! I think it's my bangs that are making me hesitant, but with the wedding coming up, I'm scared to trim them.

My Joanie Dress...

I always tend to wear this dress when I feel the need to 'dress up'... So I figured it was time to try dressing it down.  I've already mixed it with red, but with heels and a cardigan, and my hair up... so it still felt very dressy.  Then I realized, if I add my little brooch and my spectator shoes, that should really help casual-ize it! Ta-da! It worked.  I love how something so small as a brooch helped to turn this dress into a more every-day piece.

The Daintiest Shoes...

Mint, scalloped, eyelet, velvet... shoes! How dainty can one pair of shoes be? This dainty!! They are so amazingly feminine, you just can't help but feel extra girly in them.  They're definitely a date shoe... made to go from-the-house-to-the-car and sit in restaurants kinda shoes, as they are quite high.

necklace: sweet & lovely

Who doesn't need a good date-night-shoe though, right? While I may never be able to dance in them, I'll definitely feel special wearing them, making my legs feel extra long, making me feel extra tall. Every girl's dream, no?
