Short

DSC_0433
This dress is short. Like, "acceptable to wear in public but just barely" short. Like, "I really shouldn't have worn this to work even though my bosses are casual" short. Like "even though my boss was all 'you look like a cute, cheery gogo dancer today' I should have maybe worn tights" short. I love this dress too much to listen to common sense, though, so I spent most of the day pulling it down in an insecure manner. I mean, with tights I feel perfectly comfortable with the length, so hopefully once it chills up outside this dress will be getting a lot more use!

Dress: thrift store, Trench: H&M, Shoes: Urban Outfitters

  3. hahaha I definitely have dresses like that. Like the one I told you I wore the first day we got to NY and then I went over a subway grate and totally flashed everyone. Yours looks super cute on you though. I love how we get to add tights to things soon! I can't wait to wear all my inappropriately short dresses!

  5. Well, in these blog photos it looks totally acceptable and cute, but I know what you mean! The worst is when you think a dress is okay, and then you sit down at your desk only to realize the back of the hem is practically riding up above your underwear. Awkward! Anyway, I think the colors of the print are so pretty, and I really like how the trench coat looks with this dress.

  8. I love the print on that dress and the new background on your blog! Even though I'm only 5'3", I often have the too-short dress issue as well. Luckily, it's almost tights weather! :)

  9. Oh I've always loved this dress! I've been feeling that way about a few of my skirts/dresses lately. It's weird, but I think with tights, we'll feel better about wearing them :) You are looking tiny my dear!

  10. I know exactly what you mean-- bike shorts tend to do the trick! I don't have to worry about flashing my nickers around. x
