Bedazzled.


(Photos by me.)

I usually prefer wearing dresses that leave a lot more to the imagination, but when I found this dress on the LOVE website, it was just obvious that I'm supposed to own it. I think the low-cut back is ridiculously pretty, and all the embellished details are perfect for someone like me, who isn't a big fan of accessories (to say the least). Now the dress is accessorizing for me!

Since I got the dress online, I was a bit worried that it might not fit me all that well - I find that these tight little numbers are very often too tight over the hips, and if they're not, they're too loose around the waist. But this time, I got lucky: the dress turned out to be a tiny bit too tight over the hips and a tiny bit too loose around the waist - I can most certainly live with that! (Oh, and when I say "hips", of course I mean "hips and ass". Bum, butt, bottom, booty! I do have one of those.)

Well, I be honest with you guys: I didn't wear this out last night, so noone got to see me in all my sassy bootyliciousness.  I mean, I would have worn it out, if I had gone out. But I didn't. I stayed home and overdosed on chocolate and old Project Runway episodes, tried to get rid of my (chocolate-induced?) headache and played with the pretty, pretty katz. Did I at least wear this fancy dress while doing this? Ummm... let's say I did. (Or maybe that's just sad. Either way.)

Anyway - sometimes I like trying on an outfit so that next time I'm actually going out, I know what to throw on and don't have to think about it.

This particular outfit looked especially smahing (if I may say so myself) with my favorite coat, but I didn't want you to have to look at a thousand photos in the same post, so we're saving those for later.

If you'd like to take on the night in this dress - or any other gorgeous dress from LOVE - there's still time to enter the LOVE giveaway!

    you look so pretty and chic ! I love the dress!
    I also watchd last night old Project Runway episodes... actually the last episode of every season.
    Somehow I found it more interesting the result than the pursuit of action :)
    hugs!

    that is one holy hot little black dress! perfect for a night on the town. although, i'm sure the sparkle would mesmerize & dazzle the kitties, if you decided to wear it around the house.

    Girlfriend. Your blog is my fav simply because you don't need a night out on the town to rock a bangin' dress. Chocolate, cats and TV reruns will suffice.

    i totally agree with you. the majority of the time that the sun is good for taking pictures is not even close to the time i have to go out, so i usually just pull a few outfits and shoot them all in a row. this proves to be extremely helpful in my getting ready process later on or another night because I don't have to put the extra effort into putting together an outfit!

    You watch Project Runway, too! IT's one of the best series ever made. After Freaks and Gleeks obviously, but still. Who is you favourite designer of all time? IThink I'll go with Christian Siriano. He was just all bubbly and cheerful during the entire season, and he was a real dram-queen with his dresses. :)

    Oh, that's a stunning dress! I'm a little obsessed with backless dresses at the moment, but I don't have those cool boots to complete the look!
    Also, a night in and chocolate is always more tempting than going out.
