Sexy Back, Pretty Bow
Jun 20, 2011
Last weekend, Flock hosted an AMAZING sidewalk sale that I just couldn't pass up. Though I'd been following them for a while on Twitter, Eric and I only recently stumbled into the store when looking at an apartment nearby. (FYI, no we are not moving in together, but more on my new apartment soon!)
As soon as we walked into the boutique, I was hooked. The salesgirls were all extremely friendly, and the clothing unique and fun. I love the girly meets bohemian vibe of the boutique. Plus, they have plenty of small sizes, which is a must when you're my size!
So back to my dress. I decided a few days before that I wanted to treat myself to something special. I wanted to find a piece of clothing I loved without looking at the price tag. I'm the kind of girl that immediately looks for the price before even trying something on. If it's out of my price range, what's the point in dissapointing myself?
Are you like me, always looking at the price before buying, and sometimes only choosing things because they're on sale?
Though it was hard for me to step out of my comfort zone, I'm glad I did it, because this dress is amazing. Plus, it happened to be on sale, although it was still out of my typical price range. (If you're interested, the brand is called Sunner.)
How beautiful is the back? You may not be able to tell, but it's completely open between the bow and the scrunched up skirt. It's the perfect blend of girly in the front and a wee bit sexy in the back. It totally made me think of Rebecca from The Clothes Horse and I want to wear it to the beach or on a picnic.
I'm still trying to figure out the best way to conceal a bra beneath it. Though the dress straps are thick enough, the opening in the back lays right where a bra band would fall. Any suggestions besides going au natural? Oh, and those stick on bra things scare me. I was thinking of sewing some loops into the inside of the dress that I could feed the back band through, but I'm not sure if that will work.
