Winner, Beginner, and Slimmer?

Killing my feet for killer shoes
 I won my first blog contest! Candid Classic held a contest for a $25 CSN gift certificate and I won! I will share what I purchase when it arrives. Check out their site because they have this, that, and the other thing. Check out Candid Classic as well!

Today A Taste of T started a new Thursday feature called "Thought Bubble Thursday." Come join, it's fun!

This is a dress that until today I thought was just so-so. I've even thought of donating it. As I studied it more, I realized that the sleeves and skirt give it a little '40s touch. I love that era of style! When I wear it people ask if I've lost weight. I haven't, but I guess the style and placement of the ribbon is deceiving and slimming? I'm not trying to deceive you, my dress is. Bad dress! No, good dress!

  2. Awww Jen. Your outfit is so cute. I know what you mean, I totally killed my feet this week when my wedges cut into the back of my feet! I definitely think that dress is a great basic cut you can always come back to! Little purple dress.
