Dress to Impress

Contrary to what those who know me would think, sometimes I love being wrong. I often assume clothing outside my familiar styles will be a disaster once I put it on. I saw this Grasby Gardens dress at Anthropologie and thought the colour combinations and the cut were so unlike anything else I owned. I knew it would either be a total hit or a complete miss and something about this cut to me suggested disaster. Of course I put it on and fell in love. I turned away from the initial price, but to my delight the dress received a quick sale cut. I loved it too much to hope and wait for another quick second cut, so I grabbed it. Anthro must be on my side lately because despite my lack of willpower, the dress got the second cut and I got a tidy price adjustment. What enablers to my overflowing closet they are...

I wore this outfit to watch Boyfriend and his band perform. He was so excited about the night, I really wanted to dress up. His jaw dropped at the outfit so I guess that goal was a success!
