I wore this for Easter among a group of people who don't need to be impressed!
I ordered the 8 and 10 because I am a broad-shouldered girl. Both fit well, but the 8 really hugged my curves. I just loved this dress. The color. The shape. I wore it to my casual church in Easter and felt like a giant piece of candy, especially with the fascinator that I try to work into every holiday. Order this dress just to hang out in at home. So beautiful!

These earrings were special and blingy, not what I would pick out for myself. That is the fun.
These beauties were part of the mystery bling that came with my special-rated New Year's Eve Missoni dress. I wore them all day to work and then to a New Year's party. Hubba hubba!

Sometimes, a girl needs to channel Megan Draper. For no reason. The whole day!
This two-piece ensemble -- a spaghetti-strap dress under an asymmetrical jacket -- could flatter almost any size because of its adjustability. I am tall. Short skirts can look like belts on me, but the under dress could be pulled up or down, allowing me to stay in a respectable range of shortness. I wore it New Year's Eve at my job at a senior center, where we had a special dance in the afternoon. The security guard, a polite and quiet man, shouted "Times Square!" when he saw me. I wore a loose jacket to keep things respectable and flesh fishnets because it was New Year's Eve. The tights really made a cool contrast to the zig zag pattern. After work, for a night-time party in my apartment building, I removed the jacket and showed off my 40-year-old guns for 2015. Some people wore jeans. Others wore cocktail dresses. I hit that perfect in-between balance. This is a special dress, well made and designed. I got it last minute for a $20 New Year's Eve deal. I hope other people give it a whirl. It may not get a lot of wearing with RTR because it isn't flashy, but it does make a statement for a casual or more elegant engagement. I felt comfortable and sexy, mature and confident. However, the under dress is very stretched out. I suspect it must hang from a hanger for long periods of time. The bodice sank below my bra, which meant I needed to make the straps shorter by clasping them with a barrette. I used safety pins to keep the straps from showing and the jacket under control. I suggest pinning this dress with a funky gold broach, if you have one, instead of safety pins. Gold looks beautiful against the green and brown.

Heavy, but WORTH IT!
These earrings were sent to me when my first pick fell through. I loved them. They were so pretty and different. I loved the box they came in too. Just a little bit of luxury to lift the mood. I have small lobes, but I wore them all day to my family's Thanksgiving in Indiana, which is a really casual affair. These earrings added some class.

So much fun that I forgot to get pictures
I wish I had thought to get pictures taken, but I didn't because I was having so much fun wearing the dress at my family's Thanksgiving in Indiana. I rented it as a gift to myself for finishing the New York City Marathon. After that race, I only want to wear sparkles. This dress really lifted my mood and got me excited about new adventures. Plus, I highly recommend wearing armor-like fashions to family functions. Old feuds just roll away. I wore it with black tights and heeled Oxfords. It was my first RTR experience, and my folks were super impressed that the package came to their house the day before Thanksgiving. It couldn't have been easier. I got two sizes, S and M. The Medium would have been fine, but I thought it was rather large. The S fit well. I would suggest doing your hair once the dress is on, however. The neck is rather small, not stretchy at all. It was wild enough to reflect my New Yorkiness and tame enough for an Indiana Thanksgiving. I would definitely rent again.
