Both the dress and shoes are Isaac Mizrahi for Target. I really miss his stuff. Sure, a lot of it was more "ladies who lunch" than is typically my style but some of it was greatness. I got this dress last year for my brother’s Rehearsal Dinner and I thought it was perfect. The cotton is SO light and the fit is very flattering.
I’m not typically a pink girl, but the pattern on this dress is really spectacular and I love the way the colors all go together.
It’s basically the same cut in the front and the back, which seems odd, but works for the dress.
These sandals were one of my best buys last summer.
The bronze color is perfect for both gold and silver accessories, it’s not over the top. I also love the texture of them. AND they are super comfortable. Target.com called them gladiators but I think they are more of a plain old sandal. Regardless, beautiful and function. (And Alannah, it's gun metal grey polish! It's Essie, but I forgot to see what color. What makes it look strange is that I start with a DEEP purple by L'Oreal that is one of those "one coat" things with the giant wide brush, because I am lazy and that makes for fewer coats of grey.)
Yay!~ I made the key necklace of course, but I found all of the chains at a thrift store for less than 3 bucks each. Some of them were only 99 cents!~ As soon as I saw them I was reminded of Sal’s tutorial video which I don’t remember in full, but I do remember coming away with the idea that I could get a statement necklace look by buying at the thrift store. It really stuck with me and I never would have even thought to look I don’t think, so THANKS Sal.

I can see why you got a flood of compliments - you look smashing! And I miss Issac, too. Those were the days ...
Very cute dress! Great color for you.
The necklace(s) are awesome! I've made some earrings that remind me of the necklace. Also, the pattern of that dress is amazing! I love the color on you!
I've been reading your blog for a few months now and I love it! How do you get your ponytail to be so perky? Or is it in a claw clip back there? Enlighten me.
Great dress - you are right it fits you so well. And lovely sandals.
Thanks for the polish info!!
That dress is awesome. Before you posted the close-up photo, I thought maybe there was a kind of middle eastern/Indian pattern on it because it almost looks like brocade from a distance. SO pretty! I was surprised to see you in pink but I really like it!
I love that dress! I always find that designer collaborations with Target are a hit or miss. I thought Rogan would be terrible, but it was amazing. Alexander McQueen on the other hand? Disaster! I used to travel to the nearest Target, but now I shop them through Ebates.com. I get cash back, and special coupon codes!
I too can see why you received so many compliments! What a great dress!
Such a gooooorgeous dress! You look really good in it. I adore the colors too. Great choice!
You're such a creative soul! Fabulous use of op shop bargains on that necklace. I'll be having a closer look at my local charity store next time!
Love the sandals too. I wish I could find such wonderful bargains!
Lovely - it looks great from the back too :)
