This grey baby doll dress was from my last clothes swap. I paired it with a lace removable peter pan collar. I’m actually wearing two pairs of tights for a double layered look. I got the burnt orange tights from Target and wore some sheer polka dot tights on top. I’ve been loving this layered tights look. It makes colored tights look a little more sophisticated. I wore my Mary Janes to complete the look.

I did the layering tights trick again. This time with my Apple-Red pair plus sheer hearts pair. The result is a wine color. I wore a long-sleeve tee that I got from Naturallycurly.com a few years ago with a grey skirt and wine snake-print loafers.

WAYW: Sugar Lips Dress #1

SUGAR LIPS APPAREL

Size Small

I was so excited when my flowy white dress cam in fro Sugar Lips Apparel!! It was adorable and perfect fit. I had no place to go in it, but just looking at it made me want to go out and take it for a spin.

Then I got word from Vicki from Houston on the Cheap (great blog for Houston freebies/inexpensive fun) that I’d won 2 tickets to the Houston Web Awards. I brought my bestie Jessica with me. Although I was thankful for the opportunity, I didn’t love the award show. I didn’t see even one fashion blogger represented. The crowd was also a little older and most of them already knew each other, so mingling was a little awkward. All that aside, I loved the way this dress turned heads. I got a lot of compliments on my earrings, which I made myself a couple years ago out of a couple bangles (bracelets), some lace, and some earring hooks.
