the illusionist.

i never tire of this dress.
originally reached for it because i thought it was a zebra print.
turns out it was just a bold graphic design, which i love equally.
i shortened the dress a couple inches over the years.
it was starting to look long-ish and dowdy.
maybe the dress was getting longer.
maybe i was getting shorter.
or maybe it's just an illusion.

(dress, diane von furstenberg @ nordstrom)

ADOOOORE the print on this dress. I truly believe graphic prints like that never go out of style, especially in black and white.

Much love!

Thanks for letting me know what lipstick shades you got from MAC, one more empty and I can get my free one cannot wait. This dress is perfect, it's like a cross between zebra and graphic print. You shortened it to a nice length too! x
