Tuesday -- Ally

It's Kentucky Derby Week and you know what that means: Tracey and I work as little as possible! We have a few days of big hats, small bets (well for me at least), and F-U-N fun ahead!

Dress: JCP

Belt: NY&Co.

Necklace: Walmart

Bracelets: Old Navy

Shoes: Ralph Lauren









I thought I've worn this dress on here a lot more than I actually have. Maybe I just haven't posted it. I've worn this dress here. And here. I have absolutely gotten my $19 out of it though. You can find some great deals in the clearance section on JCP's website.

Just did some quick math and this whole outfit was super cheap:
Dress $19
Belt $14
Necklace $5
Bracelets $4
Shoes: $28
Total: $70

Not bad!!

Ally I love this dress! I love black and white. I have a similar dress that I never wear because it's sleeveless (I hate my arms), but I just thought about pulling it out and putting a short jacket over it. So thanks.

Anyway, I get a lot of my work clothes from JCP, in the store. They seem to always have stuff on clearance or severely reduced and I'm able to walk away with many pieces for not a lot of money. But I'll have to check them out online, too.

I just love cute dresses like this and wish they were cute on me! If you have a waist to show off like you do, they are just darling!

Vaia said...

You look great! That style definitely works for your body type!

Sara said...

Love this look! You should wear dresses more often!

Candice said...

I really love this dress on you, you look long and lean! I have always wanted to go to the Derby with the dresses and big hats and all, it looks so fun! Enjoy your week, and thanks for the comment on my bangs.

You look so great in this! You really do rock a dress! Wish I were coming to Derby...

Kelly said...

Such a great dress. And I like it with the wide belt.

This dress is stunning on you Ally, and the belt is just perfect.

This really looks great on you.

LEM - I never find anything in the store I like. I find this with most stores though. I think I get overwhelmed and nothing seems "special" lumped in with everything else. I can, however, spot good buys at Marhsall's and places like that. Go figure!!

Candice - You just WAIT for some big hats :)

KT - Don't even talk to me about Derby. I'm still not over it yet.

Thank you all so much for your encouraging comments. I have a really hard time finding spring/summer dresses with short sleeves that aren't sleeveless. If you see anything that looks like "me," send me the link!!

Ally,
JCP is really the only store that I bother to go into! All of my other shopping is online...

I'm exactly the same way with not wearing sleeveless dresses. In fact, I won't wear sleeveless anything! So I'm on the hunt for short sleeved dresses or short waisted short sleeved jackets to go over the sleeveless dresses that I do have. So while I'm looking for myself, I will keep you in mind!

Thank you very much :)
P.S. May i ask what size are you? Because i am a little chunky and i feel conscious about wearing belts.

Tracey said...

love this on you!!!

the next time you wear it, I request red shoes please. hehe
:)

Ally said...

f1p - I'll add you to my Google Reader and check it out :)

This dress in particular is a 12, but sizing is so individual. I can lose 20 lbs and still wear a 12, so sizing is a hard gauge I think. Wear what makes you feel good and what fits right. If you have to go up a size to get the right fig, then go up a size and cut out the tag if you have to.

Try a belt and see! Put it on your blog :)

Ally said...

I don't have any cute, red, summery shoes, T. I just have red pointy toe pumps :(

Kari said...

You look really stunning in this dress. The print and the cut are beautiful on you, and I like that the belt has just enough ruggedness to make the outfit even more interesting. :)
