Trying on my new dress

I just picked up my dress today from my tailor. Anything I buy always ends up being expensive because of the additional cost at the tailor, but it is worth it because I don't like ill fitting clothes. I couldn't wait so I tried on the dress as soon as I got home, and I thought to take a picture and share with everyone. I am neutral about it, it is as cute as most of the ones I already own.

My tailor did a great job on the alteration. I wore it out with my bf on Saturday night and he loves it. He wants me to repeat it again on our next outing, but I said I must wear everything in my close once before I repeat this, and there are still too many things in my closet that has yet had my special attention:)

FFF for the office

I am a big time bargain shopper. I dont often pay retail for shoes or clothing items except for essential accessories like a classic Chanel bag, clutch, my everyday oversized Chanel and Tomford sunglasses, ect.

Fashion is not about having the It bag, dress, shoes or wearing what everyone is wearing. I don't always have to have the latest trend. It is more important to know who you are, your body type and what type of clothes, shoes, accessories work best for you. I love classic body hugging sheath dress with intricate details, and pencil skirts.

As seen above:

1) Top: Cashmere sweater by Theory

2) Skirt: honestly I am not quite sure whose it is made by, but I love it. I will find out when I get home and let you know.

3) Shoes: Suede pumps by Brian Atwood

4) My new Tomford sunglasses, my early BD present from A.Duy

Recent FFF (Fabulous Fashion Find)

I love anything and everything with a touch of lace, from lacy underwear, bra (La Perla is my favorite), top, skirt, dress, you name it, and If I'll be married someday my choice of wedding gown will also be something along the line of the lace gowns from Monique Lhuillier, or Osca Dela Renta. I know how expensive they are, especially with Osca Dela Renta, so probably will not be original, but it sure will be a less xpensive custom made version that still resembles the style and details from these fabulous designers.

Lace makes everything looks so feminine, beautiful and romantic. I recently spotted the above lace dress at Neiman Marcus last call store. The length is a bit long so it would make me look old. I am having my tailor turned it into a mini dress, same length as seen on the model and Catherine Zeta Jones above. Of course, it will be taken up from the chest area to keep the scallop trimming. I am thinking about rocking this number with my nude CL pumps, white envelop clutch and pearl earings. I am going to a Fashion for a Passion event next Saturday, its also my BD. Seriously, I have too many choices in my closet, I am not sure what to wear yet, but this is an option because it is cute, sexy with a touch of vintage because its nude lace. FYI this is not my first lace dress I have, but it is the first lace dress in nude and I am still so excited to wear it. Stay tune for more pictures and updates
