BonBon Rose Girls Kristin said...

Gosh you look beautiful in that dress...and the tie dye leggings add so much fun to the look!

Casee Marie said...

I love this. You look amazing, and that dress is perfect. I love when a basic, solid dress has character enough in its shape to make a statement. I used to have a similar halter, but it was floor-length...and lime green with yellow polka dots. But it made me feel awesome! (I actually still have it, I'm just in denial about the fact that it doesn't fit.)

Señora Allnut said...

besos

Bella.. can I just say how fabulous you black dress looks on you?..
Not only the style but also the way you present..
You and V are the ones that wears black and still send a message of soft look.

I love the poems you choose with your outfits. And this particular post is a friggin great example on how the woman makes the dress. Such classic lines in classic black but you bring so much to this look not just the sunnies and tights but you. LOVE. So good Bella!
