Cap It Off

When you want to wear something easy, you can't go wrong with a Little Black Dress (LBD). This textured dress from Rebecca Taylor is ultra flattering, with cap sleeves and a small ruffle at the hem. It runs large, so size down. I'm wearing a size zero for reference.

The Enduring Allure of Gingham

I first bought this red gingham halter dress back in 2003 to wear for my engagement photos. I was 25 and so excited to get a designer dress. To quote Back to the Future... "My God, has it been that long?"

Almost 20 years later, it still fits! And I now have the perfect shoes to wear with it.
