This dress is sort of my everything. I’ve long been an admirer of A.L.C.’s sleek, contemporary designs but had never pulled the trigger on one of her pieces. And then I saw this dress. It’s all sorts of amazing. At first glance it’s just a plain short sleeved dress. Then you look at the details. The little sliver that makes it kind of like a crop top… the elastic at the waist… the details on the back {sorry I didn’t get a pic} and the high slit that reveals a bit of leg. I wore this to the Guess party during fashion week and felt fabulous – in a cool girl, understated sort of way.

It’s super cute on you, lady! Love having that “cool girl understated” feeling – just the confidence in knowing you couldn’t have picked a better outfit and that you feel great in it!
Love that your LBD is a bit different from the standard sleeveless option. Well done you!

The details are amazing on this dress. The sliver is my favorite, I think. I love that it’s not fitted either – the details do all the talking! What a great piece!

I love that this dress had just a tiny crop – so it’s very wearable and not too terribly revealing. Looks fantastic on you! xo N
