outfit du jour: skippin town

I'm going to have do the extra-quick version of this post today. So no accessory shots and all that. It's going to be a crazy week for me, so I'll do my best to get back to you on your comments, questions and subscriptions but if it takes me a little longer than normal, I'm sorry.

I saved this dress from some things my grandma was donating to Goodwill and I love it...unfortunately, now that I've seen the photos, I realize it's too big and still manages to cling in all the wrong places, to me anyhow. Oh well, at least I gave it a chance.

    That's awesome that your dress is from your grandma. Too bad about the fit.

    Maybe you could have it taken in? The drape and color are really pretty on you. I have a pile of vintage I need to take in to get altered too.

    Well, your grandma has great style. I think it looks pretty a little oversized and slouchy like that. I love the color too.

    I love vintage but I love it when it came from someone that you know personally! Some of my favorite items came from my grandma :)
    You look great too!

    I think this dress is actually really nice on you. I don't find it clingy at all! You could always alter if, if you wanted to.

    A beautiful dress! Happy you could rescue it from your grandmother's donation pile. Your grandmother has great taste.
    As for the dress,I love the color on you and think it looks fabulous on you. However, I also understand sometime our own eye can be much more critical then a third party :)
    I also love your shoes!!! Just fantastic..in fact I just love your overall vibe..so glam.
