Dress? Jones New York, thrifted
Tights? Betsey Johnson, Winners
Boots? Aldo
Clutch? Hilary Radley, StyleSense
I'm going to go ahead and say the obvious about these pictures. It must have struck you immediately that this is the second time I am wearing these tights. It doesn't happen often that I keep tights run-free; this is a big deal.
A little bit less obvious is the fact that this dress matches the wall...perfectly. It's pretty subtle, so you may have missed it. Go ahead and scroll back up... maybe even take out your Pantone colour swatches... I've written before that sometimes a bit of doubt creeps in my mind about why I do this blog thing, but when I found a whole building painted in the same colour as my dress, I had a bit of a revelation. My city has my back... buildings are being painted to match what I wear. I will know that I have really made it when I find a wall covered in sequins. How will you know you made it?
Love the clutch! and Winners is my store.

I am SO in love with this dress! I love longsleeve tight short dresses...they do amazing things for a persons legs!! And I love the mixed patterns with the tights...love love love! haha
ReplyDeleteLOVE this dress and LOVE that you score the most beautiful things thrifting! Beautifully styled! ~Serene
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I love how the color matches the background. Keeping tights tun free is hard work!!
ReplyDeletehaha I have to buy new tights every month because no matter how careful I am when putting them on/wearing them I ALWAYS manage to ruin them. Good thing they are a cheap accessory :)

Yes, I totally noticed that your dress matched the wall - I was assuming you bought the dress to match the wall, no? Absolutely love the dress, too - feel free to let me know when you need me to take it off your hands.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! My tights always get runs in them too. It's the most frustrating thing!
ReplyDeleteWe have a wall covered in sequins where I live. Google "Ned Kahn, A Slice of Wind" to see the prettiness.
ReplyDeleteThat thrifted dress fits you like a glove. Man. Teach us that on Thursday, will ya?
ReplyDeleteI'll be on the lookout for a sequined wall here in Portland.

(and sorry for the confusion to the other Linda W. who loves you and posts on here like me. I'm going with the all lowercase this time - just to mix it up. We will have to come up with a system to distinguish ourselves.)
I LOVE seeing your pretty face on here. I did not notice a-your tights (you wore those like 2 weeks ago, whats the biggie?) nor the wall... but now I see it all!
ReplyDeletethat dress is pretty skin tight tacular. I like it. especially since it's thrifted.
I havent been to a thrift store in weeks! it's not easy being on a shopping ban. oh and betsey johnson shoe sales up in random rented out rooms on the 2nd floor of some random building.... SIGH. I love this purple building.
I totally noticed the coordinating wall and wondered how you happened upon that wall when you were wearing that dress! Some girls have all the luck...

Gaw. my town SO does not back me up. Some girls just have all the luck...
ReplyDeleteYou bod in bangin in that dress. Seriously.
You look smokin' hot in that dress, Yen! I am pissed. My new town does not support me stylistically at all. WFT?!?
ReplyDeleteHoly hotness, lady! I actually didn't notice the wall - not with that dress! You look slammin'!
ReplyDeleteThere will be a sequined wall and a wall covered in velvet in some garish shade. Hot pink! Turquoise! Purple! A paisley with those colors! ≈With sequins as the eye. √ Yes. THEN I will have made it.
ReplyDeleteYour waist, etc look amazing in this dress.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, these photos are beyond perfect. The wall! The dress! Those tight! Your amazing figure! Ah. LOVE this post.

The dress is gorgeous. You pull of that wicked cool print with flying colors.

I'll know I've made it when the Vulcan salute becomes a common greeting. Or when Starfleet or Hogwarts uniforms become everyday wear.
ReplyDeletethat dress is just the most beautiful thing ever.
ReplyDeleteI love your chameleon photos as well.
Chic on the Cheap
Diggin' the new header & I love this dress and tights combo!
ReplyDeletei got to see this outfit in real life - and it was great even without the complimentary background . . . .
ReplyDeleteor is it complementary??? both i think.
ReplyDeleteGirl you definitely have it going on. Screw red, they've painted the town purple for you.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I'd know I'd made it when they constructed apartment blocks out of clashing checks, plaids and gingham.
I can't wait.
Also, I'm hosting a give away. Check it out.
A wall of sequins sounds awsome! lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit! Lovely :)
Hahaha, wall of sequins. Wait, what am I laughing at, I totally want one.
ReplyDeleteHEY OTHER LINDA W...NO PROBLEM, I'LL JUST DO ALL CAPS. YEN IT'S ME, THE LINDA YOU LOVE. THE ONE YOU SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS WITH IN UNI...THIS WILL HELP DISTINGUISH, METHINKS.
ReplyDeleteYOU SHOULD PAINT ONE ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE A DIFFERENT COLOUR TO MATCH YOUR WARDROBE...START WITH THE MASSIVE CLOSET.
Not only is the dress *stunning*, your hair is gorgeous. You look perfect for a night on the town!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress, and I love the mix of patterns between it and the tights. :)
ReplyDeleteNice outfit

Love your tights and dress!!!! So cute!!!
ReplyDeleteThose booties are awesome! And I love that wall too :)
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit! hehe, you're right, it does match the building! I like how you paired the dress with patterned tights, very chic!
ReplyDeletewww.thejoyoffashion.blogspot.com
Well, that dress is awesome. And I love the tights (I have a tights obsession :( You have also given me an idea because I'd never thought of short long-sleeve dress with boots. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteLove how you coordinated that fab dress with the wall.
ReplyDeleteHow cool would a sequin wall be? Maybe we should start one, like a shinier and more hygienic version of bubblegum alley, where everyone who passed added some sparkle.
such a amazing dress...love the pattern mixing and of course, the matching wall!
ReplyDeleteI love the new header!! I also sometimes wear steel-toe boots for work (I work for a construction company, though I'm mainly in the office). I can't get enough of that picture with the boots and the heels side-by-side :).
ReplyDeleteYES!!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing score on the dress, fits you like a GLOVE.
The city DOES have your back.
Gawd-you make me laugh.

This is brilliance. I can't decide what I love more. The dress? The tights? The matching wall? Oh hell...I love it all. Well done, lady!
ReplyDeleteHaha "buildings are being painted to match what I wear." LOVE THAT.
ReplyDeleteLove those rockin' tights, too! Cute.
Oh hi.
ReplyDeleteI throughly enjoy this outfit situation. Plus a matching wall, bonus. What I want to know if what you did in this hottsy tottsy outfit. Romantic dinner date? Ice cream and bike rides? Walk in the woods?
I'm into the new layout. You two did a great job designing it together. I bet your cats were skyping behind your back to her cats though.
I'm ridiculously in love with this outfit, Yen. Even better that it matches that wall.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog redesign! The header just matches you so well.
Are you sure you didn't have this wall painted to match the outfit?
ReplyDeleteHot stuff you are! Replace the word "stuff" with a four letter word beginning with S and you'll know exactly what I was thinking.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE these pics! I'm on the hunt for the sequin wall...we may just have to create one ourselves!!
