On the second day post-challenge, I went digging through my closet to find a long-lost friend.
YES. I AM BACK IN ONE OF MY DRESSES.
One of my most favorite dresses: a Max Studio empire waist with a olive, black and cream pattern. I went with all olives and greens for its first wearing of the winter season: olive Old Navy rolled-edge sweater, cream LOFT layering top, green tights over black (boy, I need to buy some new tights ASAP), and my beloved black Vince Camuto wingtip flat boots from last year. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!
I mean, I have really been enjoying wearing pants for the last couple of seasons, but dresses...dresses just feel like ME. This dress in particular; for any of my new readers, this might explain a lot about why I love it so much.
I've got a long way to go, but I am on my way. Dresses, I am coming back to you!! Wait for me, girls!
Yay! I'm so happy for you and hope you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super cute versatile dress. No wonder you love it so much!
You are cute as a button, Kristen! Your smile says it all. Glad that you are getting some of your old friends back into rotation!
ReplyDeleteYay, way to go!!!! It's always so cool when you can reunite with an old favorite piece like this :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE Max Studio stuff. It fits and wear really well, doesn't it. I'm a total dress girl too but winter usually sends me into slacks. Sometimes even with tights and boots I just can't bear the cold!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome dress. I love Max Studio, but only the Winners here ever has any pieces (and it's very hit and miss) - when I was in NYC, I cautiously went into their store and was hit by sticker-shock!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you being reunited with your dresses. :)
I love it with the red added in, and also with the black sweater and black shoes. Glad you are back in clothing you've missed. You did an awesome 30 days!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe new hair goes really great with olive. Also it's awesome to see you smile they way you do in a dress!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the return of the dress - I adore seeing all that you do with them, and you look so happy as well!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit on you. Great combo: Love the tights, the boots, the sweater with this dress!
ReplyDeleteOh, wellcome to dress time! I personally didn't understand at all why did you stop wearring dresses even when a few pond heavier?? I thik they are more comfy, and are more slimming than any pants(especially with tall boots!)!!!Keep on doing girl, you are an awesome elf, too:-))

What a versatile dress Kristen !
ReplyDeleteYou have styled it SO MANY WAYS.... I look forward to even more.
Kristen is BACK with a vengeance! Max Studio is one of my favorite stores - maybe in January we need to meet up there instead of OO. Can't wait to see more dresses make their way into your wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteYou look smokin, lady! Love it :)
