Happy first week of 2016!  I’m so excited to get this year started!  We’ve been busy the past week as we finally closed on our new house and have been neck-deep with packing (which is why this post is coming up a little late as we’ve had internet installation issues…).  I wore this pretty dress to dinner after two days straight of wearing nothing but house clothes (#movingsucks). and I can’t begin to tell you how good it felt to get all cleaned up again and feeling dolled up!  I’ve been loving the look of crochet-cutout Self Portrait dresses lately (you may remember this lavender one from this summer?) and this blue dress is absolutely gorgeous for colder weather with it’s longer sleeves and darker color palette!

As for the fit of this dress, I’m wearing a small and it fits true to size with absolutely no alterations!  The skirt does hit right at the knees and I actually like the slightly longer length to balance out the mesh panelling at the bottom.  I was afraid also that the waist might be a little tight if the dress didn’t have any stretch, but fortunately, the sizing on the website is accurate and at 27.5″ at the waist, there weren’t any issues.  This dress is perfect dressed up for those special events from a wedding to a work event or even just for a night out with your guy!

For the this week’s linkup, we’re featuring Sheree from Posh Classy Mommy.  Her NYE white ruffle dress is absolutely stunning!
