  34. Casee MarieMay 27, 2011 at 5:20 PM

    I love this. You look amazing, and that dress is perfect. I love when a basic, solid dress has character enough in its shape to make a statement. I used to have a similar halter, but it was floor-length...and lime green with yellow polka dots. But it made me feel awesome! (I actually still have it, I'm just in denial about the fact that it doesn't fit.)

    I love the poems you choose with your outfits. And this particular post is a friggin great example on how the woman makes the dress. Such classic lines in classic black but you bring so much to this look not just the sunnies and tights but you. LOVE. So good Bella!
