Ladylike

 

This dress.

Something about it just spoke to me. The cut out detailing. The flare of the skirt. The fluttery shoulders. The stitching on the seams. When it hit sale online, I said yes, please sight unseen.

 

OK, it is a tad long on me and I may look a wee bit wide some areas, but this dress just makes me feel all lady-like. Like when I walk I want to swish the skirt and shimmy my shoulders. I don't know, there's something about a longer flowy skirt that suddenly makes me want to act all dainty and get my chair pulled out for me, or the door held open (I usually barrel right in). And with the fluttery shoulders? All I need is a wave in my hair, some white gloves and red lips, and a younger single Ben Affleck, all suited a la Pearl Harbor, and I'm good.

Are there any pieces from your closet that make you feel immediately feminine?
