Jewel Tones and Ruffles

I recently purchased this dress at Target for $10.  It's two sizes two big but I couldn't give up the color.  I am in love with jewel tones and I think all women everywhere should have a dress in either ruby, sapphire, emerald, etc.  Now, I just need a good tailor so that it will fit right... 

Don't worry, I got better shots with my friend's nice camera. These are just teasers after our photo shoot. Better quality pictures coming soon. I promise!



I got my hair cut and I'm having a mini bangs crisis.


But I am dang proud of my calves.
As you can tell from this gratuitous angle.


And, of course, a dancer shot.
Necessary in every Dancing Branflake outfit post.
Where else can you get dancing outfit posts?
Dress: Target, Top: Limited, Shoes: Madden Girl

Are you rocking the jewel tones this season?
(Rock... haha, get it?)

A very noble colour indeed. I like the dance shot best - am sure you know why. Those ankle boots are lovely. They add a nice touch;-)

What bangs crisis are you having? I think they look nice :)

Caitlin said...

In LOVE with your color combo of the shoes and dress! I thought the under shirt was part of the dress! Adorable. I have been so resistant to the idea of professional dry cleaning and tailoring. I suppose its really worth it if you adore something and its just not right.

PS.
I love all these outfit posts!!!

Jewel tones are my favorite! Especially this color. I can't get enough of it. Definitely look for a tailor -- there's nothing more wonderful than a perfectly fitted dress.

OK gorgeous you look AMAZING!!! Great color for you. I love jewel tones too and bought a dress back in January that I wore to a wedding. I also noticed a ton of jewel tones on the Milan catwak this past week. So we get more for fall. Yay! :)
