Hi everyone! This is my first time posting real life images (with myself as the model!) so I'm thrilled that you're taking a peek :)
What I'm modeling is the J. Crew slub cotton-silk Melody dress which is currently available for sale at jcrew.com and also via the J. Crew catalog. I'm in love with it and envision wearing it on numerous occasions to numerous events both real and imagined. In real life, I've worn it to class with a blazer (I'm a grad student for only 3 more weeks!).

Real Life
****The lighting in the real life pic doesn't do justice to the vibrancy of the dress's color. The color is more vivid and for the most part true to the rack image. However, the dress is somewhat shorter than I anticipated (the specs quote that it falls 20.5" from the waist), but still an appropriate length. I was expecting it to be knee length, but on my 5'9" frame, the length of this dress falls in the no-man's land between mid-thigh length and knee-length. Works for me! I paired it with some gold peep toe flats that are from the Isaac Mizrahi for Target summer 2008 collection, I believe. I'm totally feelin' the citron/gold combo. Are you? Lavender's next!****

Real Life
****This is probably my favorite of the 3 colors the dress comes in (citron, sweet lavender, light pewter (not pictured)). Lavender to me has always represented femininity and sweetness, and is an exquisite color for spring-time! On the rack, this dress appears to be more of a lavender with bluish undertones, but the color is actually more similar to that of in the real life image, with pinker undertones. I plan on wearing this dress to lunch with girlfriends, church services, and whenever else the mood strikes. However, I hope to wear it someday to all of the more vacation-oriented locales mentioned in this earlier post (just click !).****
Here's to hoping....

I hope you have an awesome day. I welcome your comments, suggestions, critiques, and more.
