The Tale of The Ten-Dollar Dress - Part 1



Outfit details:

Floral summer dress - H&M
Gift from E
Canvas shoes - TOMS, Gift from E
Gold watch - Michael Kors
Gold studded cuff - Club Monaco
White leather bracelet - BCBG
Pearl bracelets - Rings Etc.
Carry on luggage - United Colours of Benetton, Gift from E








Concerts and sporting events - perhaps two of life's events that I find really perplexing in terms of choosing what outfit to wear. Fashion week, red carpet, designer collection launch? No Problem. But Formula 1, the Wimbledon or the overly sold out U2 concert?

These are toughies.

As you can see, short of bringing a binder full of printed Polyvore combinations, I had a luggage full of outfit possibilities for our long weekend during the 2012 Formula 1 Grand Prix in Montreal, Canada. But none of them made the cut in the end. Instead, I ran to H&M and picked up this ten-dollar dress (you like?). He paid for it.

In retrospect, I should have ran to Holt Renfrew.

"He paid for it." That's usually my favorite part in a post. It's a darling, for that price. Love the print...
