Lanston dress (v-neck version on sale at Shopbop)
TKEES flip flops – in “smoke”
Jas M.B. handbag
I really hate flip flops (ask my step-son, I don’t allow him to wear them around me), but today, they seem right. I’ve had these TKEES leather flip flops forever, but have hardly worn them. Because, well, I hate flip flops. But if I’m going to wear flip flops, these would be the only ones. They’re incredibly comfortable (padded), lightweight, and look good on because they’re more narrow than most.
And here is the Lanston dress that’s on sale at Shopbop in the v-neck style. As I mentioned yesterday, this is truly one of my favorite dresses; I bought it right before we went to Rome last year for my birthday and wore it like crazy. The only thing I will say about it is just be careful not to put it in the dryer 🙁 I usually am very careful about stuff like that, but I forgot ONCE, and now the dress is a bit pill-y. Not so much to notice, but I can tell a difference between now and when I first bought it. I’d actually recommend dry-cleaning it with dryel in the dryer instead of handwashing it anyway.
Oh, and as I was wishing that every bra was convertible, I discovered that my Cosabella bra IS convertible, so I can wear it with a racerback dress or tank! How exciting. I still can’t wear it with white tees/tanks/etc., but it’s great for black.
Love this dress on you! And love the version at shop bop. How does it run size wise? I’d love to get one in black, but not sure what size to order. I’m a size 6-8 in nearly everything. Thanks for your advise!
thanks stephanie 🙂
i am generally a 10-12 and took a medium in this dress. now that i’ve dried it, i wish it was a large, but i think the medium was the “right” size for me. maybe a small? or a medium for you, depending on how fitted or loose you want it to be. just don’t dry it!!
Convertible bras are the best thing ever. For bras, anyway. Not as good as chocolate or pizza, but I’ll take it.
I’m normally a size 8 and have this dress in the medium. Fits perfectly. I’ve only handwashed it … will definitely Dryel it next time!
