Lace-Yoke Dress

Dress: Lace-Yoke Dress- Anthropologie
Purse: Invitation Clutch- J.Crew
Wrap: Hot Mama

I wore this to a wedding at an enchanted barn. Yes, it was just as whimsical as it sounds... I wish I had taken this picture earlier so you could actually see the beautiful surroundings. This dress was a total impulse buy. We've had three weddings in the past month and I wore the same dress to the first two. I got it dry-cleaned and planned on wearing it to this wedding as well, until I spotted this beauty hanging in my local Anthro store. My son was in tow so I very quickly tried it on, fell in love, and purchased it! I am so happy that I did! It is a very well-made, nicely lined dress in a stunning color. It is a richer green-blue jewel tone than the picture shows. It is also the perfect length for us 30-somethings who don't want to show too much leg. I'm 5'10" and it hits just above my knee. The lace detail adds a feminine touch and is very flattering to the waist line and décolleté. I could go on and on. I absolutely LOVE this dress and know that it will get lots of use. It can be dressed up or down for many different occasions and seasons.

I already gushed about the invitation clutch in this post, but I have to mention it again. I've had this purse less than two months and have already gotten tons of use out of it. It's fits all the essentials for a wedding, dinner, or a night out on the town. I love this polka dot pattern, but it also comes in colorblock, gold, and even calf hair!
