Another Pretty Dress

Hey everyone! You can see I’m having a love affair with dresses right now. I feel like I hit the jackpot at JC Penney for finding dresses that had stretch, fit nicely and had such pretty patterns. Here is another!

I’ve already shown two other dresses from JCP here and here. They are all the same style, the sheath style, and have the light fabric that hangs well without clinging. Here is the plus-size versions in coral and here in a dramatic pattern. Here are a few of the other pretty patterns they have. FYI: I wear a size 16 and they go up to size 18 before they start with the plus size versions. You’ve seen the heels before with the cute little tie and cut-out in the back.

As you’ve seen this spring, fun sleeves are on-trend right now. Though I think they’re very pretty I don’t think most of them are very practical. Often it looks like they’ll be dragging in your lunch or getting caught in the car door. I’ve been looking for a version that ends at the elbow so I can avoid all of that.

Since most of the shirts with the fun sleeves are something I wouldn’t wear alone, but instead would wear under a jacket or sweater. That defeats the whole fun sleeve purpose! Luckily, this sweater  fits all of my requirements. I’m actually wearing petite large.

  1. I love dresses and this one is no exception. My problem — they are all too short for me. It’s ok in winter when I can wear black tights, but when summer rolls around, I pull out the few tried-and-true, slightly-below-the-knee standards I wear year after year. This makes me sad as I’d like to be more current and stylish —

    More reasons to HATE shopping, LOL!

    1. So, I read on Jodie’s Jtouchofstyle.com that her mom wears a pencil skirt under a shorter dress so it’s longer and then it looks like a band of color. I think that might be worth a try. Shopping can be fun! We’ll have to meet sometime and do that. Bette, don’t give up!

  2. Hi Julia and a belated Happy Birthday to you! I hope you had a fabulous day. This blue dress is perfect on you, such a great colour and fit. Your blog is really going from strength to strength and I do hope that you had lots of takers for your birthday montage which I might get to see soon?
    Love
