Playing Dress-Up

November 1st, 2010

H&M Dress, J.Crew Belt & Bracelet, Michael Kors Watch, Vintage Bag, Forever 21 Heels (last worn here)

I ended up not dressing up for Halloween this year, at least not in the typical sense.   My boyfriend and I went out for dinner at our normal sushi spot, where I usually wear jeans and a t-shirt, but decided to get a bit more dolled up.  I’ve had this dress in my closet for months now (you can see the cream version here) but only envisioned wearing it during cooler months.  I barely got away without wearing a sweater, but I think a faux fur capelet, tights and sparkly heels will be a great go-to for holiday parties.

    Beautiful dress. I envy you that at this time of year you can wear it. In Poland, it is unfortunately too cold.

    I love this Emily! I actually own this red H&M Garden dress as well, but have only worn it once. I keep dying to wear it again and I think I will for New Year’s or a Christmas party. Thanks for the inspiration!

    What a great find! Love the dress, the color, the fit . . . everything. When did you buy it? The black belt and shoes really tie it all together. Shocked to hear the shoes are Forever 21. Nicely done. You managed to pull off sexy and sweet with this outfit.

    You look gorgeous in this dress! I actually prefer the white one better on you, it looked beautiful with that pastel Coach bag. (You got to design a bag for Coach?! That is so exciting!) Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful Halloween.
