There are just some items that when you put on, you instantly feel good and confident in. That’s how I feel in this dress.  It’s not a perfect fit on the lower portion but I think I can get away with not tailoring. The hem could possibly come up maybe 1/2″ but not substantial enough for me to spend $25.

The material is 100% cotton but it looks and feels more like a tweed material.  I love the neutral color and classic silhouette.  This can easily transition into Fall/Winter with tights and a darker blazer.

I will be selling these Ivanka Trump pumps for $70 + exact shipping (U.S only) if anyone is interested. I love them and they are really nice quality but the heel is much too tall for me to walk in. I’ve worn them a few times but they are in perfect condition and I still have the box.  I also have a pair of leopard Ann Taylor perfect pumps for $85 + shipping (2011 style) I will be saying goodbye to as well.  Please email me if you interested in either.

I love the style so much that I tracked down the black/white tweed version for only $30 and got free ship from the store to my home with the Banana Republic Luxe card.  I also ordered the zig zag lace sheath to try since I’ve had good luck lately with BR dresses.  I hope the pattern doesn’t make me go cross eyed.

  1. Love your posts! Thanks for the thorough reviews and pictures- very helpful.

  2. Cute cute sheath. You're right that it'll transition well into many seasons! Great find! I love it when clothes make you feel great, so great you have to get it in another color! :D. Cute pumps but too tall for me too. I love when an outfit just comes together to make you feel great.

  3. And once again, you copied Jean from Extra Petite. Don't you have any shame?

  4. All of my sheath dresses make me feel great! 😀

    Anyway, the curves your heels give to your feet are amazing! Makes me want the shoe although I never thought I'd want an animal print heel! Anyway, the orange belt with swing jacket look great together. I usually do not like "matchy matchy" looks but here is an example of how to do it right for sure!

    A Preponderance of Fashion

  5. Hi Annie,
    I love this look so much. Very ladylike and the hit of orange makes very modern. I just listened to an interview with the costume designer for Mad Men, and she was saying how sad it is that women don't dress up very much anymore. You inspire women to do just that!

  6. cute heels! love your outfit!
