And now for the outtakes:


So my sis and I went into the Clarendon location at about 5:30pm last Sunday, which was almost closing time - they close at 6:00pm :\

So we literally only had a half an hour to do this. It was tight. This was the 1st outfit I tried on...sort of an experiment. This type of dress is hard to pull off. The shoes are really cool. I like the blueberry/raspberry combination of the dress/tights. Not the best one though.


Here is the 2nd look I tried on:

What do you all think of this one? It was a toss up between this one and the last one as the look to submit. I really love this dress and think it fit & flattered me really well.

LOVE the jeweled collar & the fact that it has hidden pockets. Looking at the picture above, my right hand is chillin' in the pocket of the dress. It's almost a little bit retro with the cut-Mad Men influence - Love it!!

This color works really well with the raspberry colored tights too. Looks like berries and cream! A bedazzled berries and cream

OK, there are more outtakes coming, we got a lot despite our time limitations. Don't forget to like my album on the SMU fan page, I could win!! Thank you, loves!
