A Valentine to myself….

Are you a person that likes to be noticed? Frances Valentine Swing Coat HERE!!

Not to just be “noticed” but…perhaps actually flagged down while driving and told to roll down your window (you don’t of course) and then to be mouthed at… thru a dusty window…”you’re beautiful…”

So…just let yourself be that person…and this is it…this is THE WAY to that moment. 

The way to happy and bright.  To chic and swingy.  To sophisticated and whimsy.

The Roaring 20’s are almost upon us – again!  ARE YOU PREPARED?!!

…and it would make an excellent gift also…Christmas gift list – done!

& notice that I dressed this beautiful piece down…jeans and a white button up.  It’s very versatile…most people don’t think pieces this beautiful are for daily use …but if you’re wearing this during the day…more chances for whispers thru dusty windows…

I fell in love with this Kate Spade dress a few months ago.  It’s just beautiful with its fit and flare silhouette and bateau neckline. 

PSX_20150707_124855The cut is perfect and it fits true to size and is made of a breathable cotton fabric with just enough silk to give it weight and shine.

It does come with a bit of a hefty price tag so I decided to wait until it either went on sale or I could find something similar.

Typically, if I find something I like but cannot splurge, I search for similar items on Google to see if I can get the same look for less.

This usually yields great results and I’m able to find something similar to what I am seeking at a much more reasonable price.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case with this dress.  It was only available as a Kate Spade and with Kate Spade prices.  I decided to wait until the dress went on sale (fingers nimbly crossed that it would) and checked the Kate Spade site weekly.

Finally, it did make the sale page and was an additional 25% off also!  What a steal!

The dress is still on sale actually but unfortunately is only available in size 00.  If you LOVE the dress as much as I but wear a different size than the one offered on the Kate Spade site, you can purchase it at alternate websites also.

The prices on these sites aren’t discounted but if you’re willing to splurge, you can buy it using the link I’ve provided at the end of the post.

Hope you’re having a great week!
