H&M dress, Zara heels, mama's vintage necklace and clutch


When I saw the metallic, structured fabric of this dress I knew the following:


#1 I wanted it
#2 I had nowhere to wear it to
#3 at $40 I would figure out somewhere to wear it to


I have always been the -splurge on a new dress for every special occasion kind of girl-so I was stoked when the Marine Corps Ball came around and I had this dress AND it was reasonably priced. I did give my usual shopbop dresses a whirl just to be sure, but I liked my economical dress better. That pretty much never happens.
