Haha, no I didn’t. But I did get it on clearance which was thrilling, because I wanted it so badly and because, well, clearance is always exciting!
The clearance rack had black, grey and this nude in my size. And of course my instinct was to get them all, but I talked myself down to one. I already have a grey dress in a similar, ethereal style. And black is not a challenge. So I went with the nude. I was really proud of myself for getting just the one, because one dress on clearance is a bargain. 3 dresses on clearance would have been over spending. (For me, I’m not here to say what is overspending for you! Xoxo)
I wore this to Toastmasters and got some compliments from the older-than-me crowd, which always makes me feel pleased as punch, because my style, I feel skews a bit young. (So does a lot of yours, even those of you much older than me! I like us that way!)
I think this dress has LOTS of styling possibilities and I can’t wait to explore!

Glad you picked the nude dress -- the color is so pretty against your skin. Can't wait to see it with a chunky cardigan, tights, and boots if it EVER gets colder in Dallas!
So pleased that you found it on sale and went for the most adventurous color.
That really is a gorgeous dress. Worth the wait for sure.
You are right about the dress.It has got a lot of potential.I have a similar one in nude .I think I'll give it a try.Thanks for the inspiration.
So gorgeous, sugar!! I love your style beyond measure. Sweet dress + edgy military jacket + cowboy style boots = HUGE WIN!
This is GORGEOUS! I think you made the right choice getting the nude - this dress looks like it was made to be that color and that color only. So pretty!
This is such a great look - the utilitarian/military vibes of the jacket and boots offsetting the femininity of that dress makes for a great look! LOVE it!!

That dress IS so pretty on you! It looks fantastic, especially the way you've styled it w the boots and jacket. I'm impressed that you didn't buy all three, given how great you look. Willpower and awesome outfits- I'm envious! :)
