Creating A Reason

August 17, 2012


Confession: this dress had been sitting in my closet, untouched, for a very long time. Club Monaco was kind enough to let me try out their online shopping back they first launched in March of this year, and after receiving something that wasn’t right for me I went and exchanged it for this gem of a dress in store (by the way, the whole experience couldn’t have gone smoother). I’d be waiting for an appropriate affair to debut it at, but since that never came this summer, I decided that a random afternoon of macarons atop a fancy hotel rooftop was occasion enough for me.

    Oh Jen, I just love this dress – I admired it at Club Monaco when it was in stock and the colour could not be more lovely on you! So glad that you finally took it out for a spin, it deserves to be shown off 🙂

    Omg I wanted this dress so badly in black but they didn’t have my size, I even checked other stores + online. I tried the burnt orange color but it didn’t suite me, looks great on you though! Have a wonderful weekend 🙂

    The russet/copper tone is PERFECT for your fair skin tone. I love that the one shoulder has a cutout in the back! Such a lovely detail.

    Enjoying macarons on the Rosewood Hotel’s beautiful rooftop sounds like the perfect occasion to wear a dress like this! I’ve been wanting to try out the Reflections Lounge and hope to do so before summer ends. You look stunning, Jen. Classic make-up and the leopard belt is so you 🙂
