The Soft Lamé Shirtdress immediately went on my wishlist the moment I saw it online. I knew it was the one item I really wanted to see IRL. And it did not disappoint. The style is similar to the Short-Sleeve Cotton Shirtdress that I have in both Navy and White, especially the sleeves. I do have a little bit of a difficult time getting it over my head so I’m glad the zipper in back was added to this shirtdress.

  

I also love the look of this dress with flats. You don’t always want to wear heels so it’s nice to know that flats will work really well this dress too! The material does have a nice “soft” feel to it though it seems a little silly to name it that. The shirttail hem is slightly longer in the back than the front.

 
A good sign that I love an item is when I wear it right away. Husband and I went to a local show last night and I wore this dress. I paired it with my Lillian Calf-Hair Sandals (splurge, save) and the Tortoise Flower Necklace. I loved the whole look! The clutch is old J Crew, circa Summer 2008.
 
I’m off to get a haircut today! I can’t believe it’s already August 1st already. We are headed into 100 degree temps this week. That’s my cue to get out of the sun and enjoy the pool in the evenings and night. 
I’ll be back by Monday to review some more J Crew Retail items!

Sorry for the brief hiatus. This month has been hectic and lazy at the same time. Yay for Summer! (Though we have started on our 100 degree days around here. Sorry WMM, about your rain! Hope you get to tend you garden/yard soon!)

Husband took me out for an early birthday dinner on Friday. Since I have been to Boiler House before, I knew I wanted to wear something loose and not constricting. The Carrie Dress in Big Dot was the perfect item to hide my impending food baby and beat the heat. 

I had originally planned to wear black sandals with the dress but decided to try Leopard instead. I love the Lillian Calf Hair Sandals and scored these on ebay. I don’t know why I didn’t listen to Gigi and size down to a 6 1/2 but the ankle strap holds me in. 
I was able to grab the Carrie Dress in Hawaiian Sunset as well during the stackable promo in store. This dress is great for those really hot days and my new Cons go well with them to make the dress super casual.
Hope you have a Great Day! I’m heading to my annual Birthday lunch at La Gloria, back over at The Pearl. If you’re ever in San Antonio, make a stop to that area. It has a great Farmer’s Market on Saturdays (The Boy works there), fantastic restaurants, a cool bar and lovely little shops.
