I bought this dress several years ago thinking it would be the absolute choice for a friend's dinner party that I went to, but I ended up wearing something else and the dress stayed in my closet for another year until making its fashion debut. Since then, this tiered "plaid cupcake," (as my best friend calls it) has been through a little history of its own—i.e., my "I don't know what to wear" phases, spontaneous shopping sprees, and even date night!
When I wear this dress one thing is certain ... it always seems to find itself a perfect placement to be worn in my life. Of course, I tend to love patterns, tartan/plaids, prints and bold colour anyway as you may have already observed. However, timely ensembles like this brings more than a smile to my face. And it just seems to exceed its initial worth with each wear. Needless to say, I feel that I've definitely gotten my money's worth!
Do you have any outfits or patterns that gives you that special feeling of happiness?

ReplyDeleteAbout your comment on the blog: The blogging tips listed were tips I've always had but didn't get to share when speaking at the conference due to time. Oh no! I've had those thoughts in my head for a while. I was just hoping to share them with dance companies starting to blog.
Thanks! Yes, It's always great to share our experiences and tips that we've learnt along the way. They were good tips for blogging in general! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Yi-chia! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I see tights, boots and the whole enchilada MJ! haha! -xx
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love plaid actually, I suppose since I have more of it in heavier fabrics I tend to wear it mostly in the autumn/winter!

That dress is sooooo cute on you! I love the neckline and the three frills - isn't it funny how something can lie dormant in the wardrobe for a year before you rediscover how great it is - I've done that before!
ReplyDeleteI really love the plaid pattern and the style of your dress, it suits you really well. Floral prints always make me feel happy.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you look stunning! I also love plaid patterns, they're so cute and always add a little something special?

It's a gorgeous dress...I was looking for a dress with that pattern yesterday. It suits you perfectly. I like when I find something in my closet I haven't seen in ages, but it's filled with lots of memories. Even if I don't wear it, I keep it just for that!! Hope your week is going well so far!! x
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos!

I definitely have items in my closet where I bought something for a particular event, changed my mind, didn't return it and it just sat there! Love this plaid dress, I think it looks great on you. The tiered skirt, the pattern, it's a great dress!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous plaid dress!! Love the fit and the shape it has and the necklace and shoes you've chosen to style with is such a perfect choice! :)
ReplyDeleteTake care, Daniella xox
I love your dress! The tiers are perfection, and they create such lovely fullness.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Daniella!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna, you're so sweet. I've grown to really adore this dress the more that I wear it.

ReplyDeleteI go through periods where different random pieces or colors make me happy. Right now, it's turquoise. I love it. It's like an instant mood lifter for me! =)
I just adore this tiered dress - the fit and cut is perfect on you! Hmmm, I love all my bold colour printed dresses, it really varies on what i'm feeling.
ReplyDeletePretty necklace Madison... you really must visit Italy, it's so beautiful!

I love the plaid "cupcake" dress!!! It really is perfect on you and I can see why you have it in heavy rotation:) - it's gorgeous! For me, there's this one bright punch red linen dress from uo I keep going back to - I think the combination of comfort and the bright color always puts me in a chipper mood. xx Marisa

you look great in plaid. i'm really liking stripes.
ReplyDeleteThis beautiful plaid dress was meant for you, it fits you perfect!:) And such a cute necklace as addition! Hope you're doing well hun!
ReplyDeleteUsually I' not the biggest fan of ruffles, I don't like tiers, and I'm 50/50 in regards to plaid. That said, I am in LOVE with this dress! somehow, despite the fact that it consists of many of the styles I dislike individually - together they look incredible. Either that or you just wear it really well. Regardless, I LOVE!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe cut and print are beautiful on you!

I adore this dress, it looks so amazing! I have always loved plaid. I believe there should be more of it in the shops. I have two plaid dresses and you have totally reminded me that I should wear them both again soon.

Oh I love you in the B&W (also in color, u get me right??) Unfortunately I'm a little of a pattern virgin. I don't know, I love it on others but to do it myself is such a stretch. Maybe un jour. Hope you're enjoying summer.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh I am a super sucker for gingham. I have a dress similar to this one and I love it! The tiers are super cute on it as well!
ReplyDeleteHa, I know what you mean! Thanks! I think for me, patterns have been such a love early on, I've never thought about it as being a "pattern virgin," I think it's best if it's just in you, trend or not! I believe YOU could wear anything beautifully! so give it a go! Hope you are doing well dear. -xxoo Enjoy your summer as well!
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you so much! I'd love to have even more plaid in my wardrobe ... that and stripes! :) Have a great week, and enjoy wearing your plaid dresses.
ReplyDeleteHaha! oh Erika! Well, I'm happy that this has brought you to the plaid light! j/k Thanks so much for your lovely comment. -xx Take care!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Marisa! Isn't it a wonderful feeling to have items like that! Your dress sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love the top of this dress. It fits really beautifully. I can't believe it was sitting in your closet for so long considering how good you are at wearing plaid!
ReplyDeletegood investment!
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks lovely on you! I am wearing my favorite summer dress today, a cotton wrap ikat dress.
