Scrumptious Fabrics with the Ageless Style Link Up
The theme for this month was scrumptious fabrics… and this little shrug from Ross Dress for Less is just that! My boys love how soft it is, and I have worn it a couple of times this winter since I picked it up in December. As soon as I saw it on the rack, I knew it would be the perfect addition for my Goddaughter’s wedding next month. It provides both warmth and modesty for her church wedding especially that I plan to wear those sandals!
I am happy that the dress’ sleeves are 3/4 length so they do not extend past the shrug’s sleeves. The puffed sleeves add a fun little detail as well as the larger collar.
This Amazon dress is from the same vendor I bought my dress for my brother’s wedding (see here) and has the same ruffled skirt. I hesitated between size S and M and ended up with the small as it fit better in the waist/stomach area. I almost wish I had sized down it the pink dress too, but the fabric and color was less forgiving.
I tried another dress with a higher neckline and longer length but it was definitely more matronly. My husband voted for this one and I agree. The off the shoulder neckline is fun and I think the dress is a lot more versatile. I think I will be able to wear for different dressy occasions.
The lace is very feminine and was another reason I decide to share this particular outfit for the Ageless Style post. The zipper is hidden on the side and is a little difficult to pull at the ribbon but otherwise, I have no negatives about this dress!
I was trying to remember if I bought the sandals on sale or not, but I do know the dress was little less than the current price when I ordered it. That makes the entire outfit minus the jewelry at $100. I am looking forward to this wedding! While I did not choose a full length dress (the reception is black tie optional), I think my dress is appropriate for the occasion and it is really fun to have an excuse to dress up. I’ll be shopping my closet for the rehearsal dinner and most likely will keep my toes warm with a pair of boots!
Don’t forget to visit all of the ladies to see which fabrics they thought were scrumptious!

Wow! You look absoultely beautiful. This is my favorite outfit of yours ! That dress fits you like a glove. The lace detail is stunning without being too much and the fit of the dress is perfect for you. And then you added the cherry on the top with that cute shurg! What a find! I teach prek and they would be petting me all day long if I wore that cute shrug, so I know what you mean about your boys loving it. LOL!

Yes, I don’t often shop for clothes there, but I like to take a look for something different! I found a fun pantsuit too for summer time on clearance but this shrug takes the cake!

This is such a beautiful combo for a winter wedding or event! I love that shrug, it does look SO soft and that winter white color is gorgeous. The lace on the dress and the neckline is my favorite part! This is a dress I would totally wear! The nude heels go nicely with it.

What a dress!! Fabulous fit, very pretty color on you. I like the neckline very much…just the right amount of skin. Do you have to wear a strapless bra, though? And that little wrap is so cute. I bet the fabric is soft and snuggly. No wonder the boys like the way it feels. I think the length of your dress is fine for the wedding. Hope you will have a wonderful time and dance the night away.
mimifce
Yes, I wear a strapless bra with it. I have one that I really like but do need to replace it soon, it is starting to stretch.

This dress is gorgeous!!
