The Dress

I have been waiting for a day like today to wear this dress. A day that was chilly and felt like fall. These pictures are a little dark and dreary, because Ty took them this morning, but it cleared up as the day went on, and it was so beautiful when I walked out of the school this afternoon.


It's a tad too big for me, but I don't care, it makes it more cozy.

One thing I love about this late 40's dress is the length. I feel like it's so graceful. There's something about a longer hemline that makes me feel sexy. I feel like I'm being more mysterious and feminine.

xo,
 Em

    I adore that dress! It's such a lovely colour, especially with your hair (which always looks PERFECT!). I agree about the length, too - longer hemlines are so elegant and grown up.

    What a gorgeous dress! I love both the color and the shape of it. I need more warm dresses too - I'm swedish...I also agree with what you think of longer hemlines - they make me feel sexier too! :)

    Love this. The deep Red Wine color is especially sexy, but in a subtle way. I agree with you on the longer hemlines of the 40s. I feel like they're visually so much more modest, but seductive in their own right. It's all about that mystery, like you said.

    Great outfit, as always! <3

    Oooh Emma, I like! I love the dreary lighting, it gives such a dramatic feel to the pictures. You are definitely one of my inspirations for being brave with my teacher outfits!
