This is my go-to ensemble for when I don't want to worry about comfort, but would really rather not wear sweats either! Aside from the cut and the $5 sale price, the best thing about this day dress is the color. It reminds me of the late 90s when everyone was wearing these super flattering wine-colored reds and deep greens (in crushed velvet with an overlay of black lace, but I think we can collectively pretend to not remember that part.)

These pics, though! With another (more talented) student photographer in the house, I haven't really taken my own photos in a while. Getting back into the swing of it is a little more challenging than I expected...especially when I start making mistakes straight off! What, I should have remembered to change the ISO settings? That's shooting high, my friend.
