Dress: Talbots found here
Belt: Forever 21
Shoes: Clark's

I've been on a Talbots kick lately. They have some great clothing and great sales.

However, I'm not sure I recommend this dress. I love the print (plaid makes me happy) but the fit is funny. So just a heads up if you are thinking about ordering it.

First of all, it runs BIG. I had to put on my most elastic belt and bunch a lot of the material in the back. RDog thinks it will make a good maternity dress someday.

Secondly, it took a lot of fussing to make my bra straps less noticeable. I went with a racer back and used the dress's bra snaps, but little hints of my bright blue bra kept popping put.

It also is a crinkle style. I'm not a fan of wrinkles so I ironed those bad boys out. It took a lot of work to get it crinkle free.

But, the dress is a great price ($31.99 with free shipping codes floating around). So if those things don't bother you, order away.
