Sunset

Today's dress brings to mind a quotation from The Hunger Games series, when Peeta tells Katniss about his favorite color (orange). In the following passage from Mockingjay, Katniss reminds Peeta of their conversation once he's lost part of his memory.


This orange color is definitely a sunset orange, don't you think?


Outfit Details:

Dress: Karen Millen Orange High Neck Keyhole Dress (no longer available)

Shoes: Jimmy Choo Hesper Strappy Sandals

Orange and gold are perfect colors to wear today, because... It's the first day of Fall. Bring on the pumpkin spice!

Solid Gold

I think today's dress would be equally at home on a dance floor as in an office setting: It's gold, fitted and fabulous. It's hard to see in the photo, but the dress actually has a gold/black pebble pattern. I decided to play up the gold color by pairing the dress with gold sandals and gold eye makeup. (I guess the name of today's blog post -- Solid Gold -- is truly fitting.) I did a bold lip color for an extra pop of color.

Although the hubby will be the first to say I'm too dressed up for work, I don't agree. I'd rather be overdressed than under dressed anyway.


Today's Outfit Details:

Dress: Diane von Furstenberg Hadlie Two Gold Sheath Dress

The dress is a typical sheath dress, although I will say that the fit is slightly off. The top of the dress won't sit correctly on your chest unless your shoulders are pulled back, and although there is a lining, you will definitely need to add Spanx underneath.

Since the dress was so fitted, I sized up and am wearing a size six, which was the right call. DVF tends to run small, and I don't take any chances when a garment is fitted since I am definitely curvy.

You can buy this dress at a variety of online retailers, and the price has been majorly reduced almost everywhere. Here are just a few places to shop:
