Outfit of the Day- Sailor Blues & Hearts in Her Eyes

Today’s outfit is a dress I totally caved and bought, and had slight buyers remorse until I actually wore it.

This dress is from Modcloth, and is called Mainstay by my Side Dress. It’s in cobalt blue, which is my favorite color to wear as I think it looks great with my skintone, and has a really sailory vibe to it. The downside? The price- $90 (ouch!)

I used a discount code I got for signing up with my email, plus Ebates, so that helped, but I still felt kinda eh about spending that much on a dress. I really love Modcloth’s styles, but sometimes you get a dress and the quality doesn’t really compare to the price point.

This dress is an exception to that. This is really nice quality, stretchy fabric and is just SO cute.

Again, apologies for the less than stellar full photos- this was the first OOTD I had done in years and we decided to take photos at noon.. which is a big no no. Gotta love all those shadows! :/

This dress has a ton of fabric, so you totally get that Marilyn Monroe skirt thing going on when you spin in circles. It’s amazing!

The only thing I would change on this dress is the length, it’s juuuust a little long for me. It hits the back of my knees when I walk, and I like dresses to hit a little higher than that. I might actually have my mom help me hem it a little shorter (She really likes to sew, I don’t know how.. but I’m thinking of trying to learn!) If it was a few inches shorter I think it would just be perfect!
