I have done several Polyvore sets with this dress with the intention of wearing it the following day. Something always came up and I had to change my planned outfit. But today was different. I planned on wearing this dress but didn’t create a set for fear of jinxing the outfit…again.

Dress: J Crew Stripe Blouson Dress in Black, 6
Belt: J Crew Patent-Tab Skinny Belt in Warm Jade, S
Shoes: J Crew Arène Platform in Cognac, 7

I wore this to my salon. It’s been 10 weeks since I last had it cut. I had an appointment a few weeks ago but had to cancel and by this week it was driving me crazy! I have no idea how to style longer-ish hair because my has been short for so long. He whacked the back off to come about even with the side to make it a somewhat choppy bob. I’m happy with it but I miss my hair sass. I’ll get it back eventually. He says he has an idea in mind but can’t find a decent picture to show me. I trust my stylist completely with my hair. He was the one who originally talked me in to short hair even though I had tried it before. Turns out it was just the way it was cut and styled that made it look bad. 
I am so happy I was able to finally wear this dress. I love it. And, although it might bother me later, the straps would slightly fall of my should making it all the more sexy. I have some new lightweight sweaters and cardigan to wear over this during the fall. I can’t wait!

Have a great evening!
