Belated Christmas Eve

I'm very pleased to say that I was able to get three sets of photos taken with Sean's help the other day, and today I have the outfit I wore on Christmas Eve.

When I purchased this panther print dress from Anthropologie ("on sale" for $100) last February to wear on Valentine's day, I knew then and there I would wear it at least two more times - on my Birthday, and on Christmas Eve. That brings my cost per wear to $33, which isn't bad for a special occasion dress. However, I think my goal for this year will be to wear it when it's warmer out!

  1. Yay for Sean! I have a nephew named Sean who spells it the same way so for some reason I had to do a double take. These photos are fab but not NEARLY as fab as you are in that dress!

  2. I do love that dress! And yep, $33 is not bad for a special dress! My cost per wear on occasion dresses is a lot higher, ha ha

  11. I have loved seeing you restyle this dress since you bought it. It's such a statement piece, and yet every time you wear it, you manage to make it look totally different. I have to admit that, although I don't calculate cost per wear, I no longer buy anything unless I can think of at least three different ways to wear it while I'm in the store. With a packed closet, it's just not worth adding anything if you can't restyle it over and over again.

  20. Such a fun print dress! I bet you can dress it down with a demin jacket & some kicks. I done that a couple of times with my dressier dresses and it always seems to do the trick of dressing something down.

  27. Such a cool dress! The gold detailing makes it really special. I love that you paired it with a colored pump and some leather to toughen it up a bit.
