All Dressed Up…

Walking with Cake: ModCloth's "With Only a Wink Dress" by Bettie Page

(ModCloth’s “With Only a Wink” Dress by Bettie Page.)

Texas Style Council held a Prom Party the second night of the convention, and Ryan and I didn’t make it, just like with our high school prom.  Oh well, at least we are consistent!

But, if I had gone to this year’s prom, I would have rocked this dress, ModCloth’s “With Only a Wink” Dress by Bettie Page.  I thought long and hard before I bought this little number, reading the many comments and looking at the pictures for weeks.  It was a bit of a commitment, but I ordered it in plenty of time to return it, just in case.  Thankfully, the dress fits like a glove, and I’m so thrilled that I splurged.  (We were definitely planning to attend the Prom, but plans changed at the last minute.)

I love the cut and color, as well as the intricate neckline that is flattering and sexy, without being too racy.  The latticework is open, which necessitates a strapless bra, but it’s more modest than a strapless dress and would be appropriate for a wedding or other semi-formal event.

Walking with Cake: Blue Dress, Pink Shoes

(I paired the navy dress with hot pink heels by Miss L-Fire.)

Since too much navy can look dated, I added a pair of hot pink heels by Miss L-Fire, which I bought back in 2008, right before I got pregnant with James.  Now that my baby days are behind me, I can actually wear and enjoy them!

Walking with Cake: Waist Detail

(The pretty bow at the waist.)

The dress has a beautiful bow detail at the waist, which adds quite a bit of definition and really makes the piece, along with the delicate collar.

It was fun getting dressed up to take these pictures, but now I really want to wear the dress somewhere!  I promise to tell you when I do!
