Long-Sleeved Mini Dress

November 22nd, 2010

Mara Hoffman Dress, Madewell Necklace, Coach Clutch, Alexander Wang Heels

There are times when I think the LBD gets a bit too much praise.  Sure it can go with anything, be dressed up with a few well-placed accessories, but I much prefer a long-sleeved mini dress (I suppose the acronym LSMD just doesn’t have the same ring).   I found this dress on sale last week at Intermix and knew it would be the perfect party dress to get me through the holidays.  The fabric is just clingy enough and surprisingly warm, so with tights I can get away without wearing a coat; at least in California.

    Love this dress! I’m doing the LSMD with tights right now, and even in Boston I am trying to get abway with it without a coat! It’s not going so well with the 34 degree temps..!

    LOVE this! The necklace is perfect with it too. I’ve been searching for a long sleeve mini but black seems so boring. You’ve inspired me to search for a great patterned one.

    You look incredible. I feel like I’ve seen one of your images somewhere but I could be hallucinating again…
