Kind of a funny title seeing as everything I post is obviously what I wore. This is *the dress* I wear when I don’t feel like wearing dresses. Do you have an anti-dress? Want to disguise some bloating? No problem, cinch a belt and you’re set. Super bloated? Skip the belt altogether and let the drapes do their magic. Only drawback, the pockets are falsies… just draping, stick change in the *pockets*....and leave a trail as you walk.
It’s what I wore on Monday, when all I really wanted to do was throw on a pair of jeans and a tee. Except with this heat, denim is much too heavy to keep me cool. I would’ve preferred a messier ‘do’ but with the crazy heat and humidity I’ll settle with just having my hair up and away from my neck.

Remember when Penny Loafers actually had pennies in them? Did you ever own a pair with the coinage? This amused me to no end when I was little girl. The thought of wearing shoes *adorned* with money was just nutty to me. Like having a coin purse...or a piggy bank on your feet…except two pennies wouldn’t get you very far.
Happy mid-week everyone!

Truly... I think I need to hire you to put together my outfits everyday. Your anti-dress looks better than my any kind of dress! And yes.... I sure did have real penny loafers. I remember buying them, and what a big deal it was to slip the penny in them.
ReplyDeleteyou look darling! love the loafers. i so remember the actual penny loafers with the pennies. i never owned a pair but my mom did and i always wished i fit in her shoes so i could rock them. by the time i did, they were so wiggity wack i was embarassed at the thought. haha!
ReplyDeleteGreat dress and shoes!! They go so well together.
ReplyDeleteI love your shoes. They are so pretty. It goes perfect with the red dress!
ReplyDeleteoh oh oh! i love red.

ReplyDeletewow girl, you look stunning in this dress, I love the way it embraces your body, awesome line! As for the shoe, they rocked the outfit good! + that hair-do is awesome on ya!
ReplyDeleteI have an anti-dress! It's drapey and open in the front (so requires me to wear another tank dress underneath). I never really use a belt on it so it's ultra-comfy and pretty flattering. I love yours as well... the color is gorgeous and your penny loafers are adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous dress Honey. I love the color and shape too...Fantastic idea...with a same red Gucci belt....J'adore!

I love that dress! Red looks gorgeous on you, especially that shade of red. And I really love those gold shoes. They make the outfit sparkle. :)
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember when Penny Loafers had money in them. I didn't know anyone who actually wore them but I remember hearing about it from friends when I was little. I always thought it was just a myth. Nice to know the money shoes are real. Hehe.
you look gorgeous in that red dress! and yes I remember that and thought the same thing about penny loafers! I didn't particularly like them but I thought - how "weird" to have pennies on your shoes? I hope your having a fab Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. You look wonderful. I really like that look. Hope you're having a fantastic week so far.
ReplyDeleteLove red...and the dress is fab. And the shoes are adorable.
