Style

oh hey…i used to have a fashion blog

December 20, 2010
I FINALLY got my life in order and put an outfit post together! It wasn’t easy though. If you missed my tweet about it, I had to get my dad to take these outfit photos of me. And if you know my dad, then you know how silly that is.
Dahlia Dress

I have been dying to wear this dress ever since my mom brought it back from London, but it’s completely see through!!! My white slip just wasn’t helping the matter, and I had almost given up on ever being able to wear this gorgeous dress. Yesterday I had a stroke of brilliance though to try my nude spanx tank top underneath and BAM it totally worked. So glad I could finally wear it and it was perfect for my Sunday activities: The Nutcracker and a Christmas dinner with friends.

    Yay! You look freaking gorgeous.

    Think I could ask Uncle Willy to take my outfit pics on boxing day? haha.

    He actually did a really good job!

    I love this dress and i'd like to borrow it. That and everything else in your closet.

    What a great look for the ballet. It is gorgeous by itself, but the pearls really add a nice touch.

    You look like a movie star being photographed by the paparazzi! Haha, atleast your dad knows how to USE a camera. I don't think my dad even knows how to snap a photo. Hahaha. He lacks in the technology department. You're practically repping Plum Clothing in most of your blog posts! They should credit you for all the free advertising! 🙂

    On the side note, I'm really loving your hair. What do you do to make it wavy?

    Ahh, I had been eyeing this dress on ASOS – soo pretty! Dahlia makes the prettiest dresses! And winter white dresses with black tights is one of my very favorite winter combos! Soo pretty! Love it, lady!

  • Kara December 21, 2010 at 4:00 pm

    This dress is absolutely stunning!! You really cannot tell that it is see-through from the pictures! I think you did a good job of covering that up. Love it with the pearls and tights. So ladylike and chic for sure! 🙂

    @Annabeth WOW thanks so much! I guess it is pretty 60's

    @LahTeaDah thank you. It's funny b/c I have never worn the pearls before either and somehow the 2 pieces just went together nicely.

    @laxfashion thx!

    @Melissa I still need to get half your gift…the pressure is on!

    @Kisekae you can borrow it sometime if you want!

    @NoGuiltFashion thanks, yeah it was quite fitting for the ballet!

    @Toya no worries…Dahlia is my favourite!

    @NatalieBrooke thank you darling!

    @Lianna you are the best! I will do a hair tutorial soon, I promise! Hahaha I do wear a lot of Plum but it's because they give me the clothing. I work in their design department and get a clothing allowance 🙂

    @Cindy thank you! Will do.

    @delia thanks, I love brightening up my winter black and greys.

    @Kate great minds! You should get it! It's perfect to throw on for a party!

    @Kara thank you so much! My mom brought it back for me..she sure has good taste!

    @Lucia thank you 🙂
