When Fashion Meets Nature

I donned my winter floral print dress in some of our engagement photos too! This was a quick and lucky online buy to replace an eShakti dress that didn't work out. I'm hoping to get a chance to show off one of their customized pieces but it just hasn't happened yet!
I love Torrid standard shipping because it only takes 3 days to receive anything from them for me. When this dress came I kissed my computer screen and thanked it for being true to color!
I'm in between sizes but I'm glad I went up with the 4 because the stretch polyester lining likes to bunch up underneath if it's too small and will make the chiffon lay awkwardly on top. The elastic in the cuffs was forgiving and I could even pull my sleeves up! It does comes with a thin black belt but it needed to be exchanged out with a thicker statement belt. I thought the thin one got lost in the print and I went up to a larger size in the dress resulting in the shoulders and chest being almost too large on me; the dress had to be gathered in with a capable belt.
I also recently purchased a couple pairs of We Love Color tights and had just the ones to accessorize this dress!

All in all the outfit ended up complimenting where we were shooting beautifully....

We were at L.H. Barkhausen Waterfowl Reserve and I was glad the days had been warmer and drier because it made these moments happen with ease. I also have to note that that day was the most I've been in heels since knee surgery last April; I can't wait until I can walk in heels from 8-5 again!

Seven Weeks

That is all what remains of 'engaged' life. We have made it thus far through: moves to new homes, new jobs, new pets, illnesses and even a surgery. I have no idea what the next seventy YEARS will bring but I can't imagine a better partner. Who else would make me look this good in a lace party dress?

And damn, did I feel good from head to heel-wedged toe!
