Today I am using blogging as my escape from Game Day! I swear he is one touch down away from tearing off his shirt and running through the apartment building screaming. If you're the wife/girlfriend of fervid sports fan then please take solace in my post today :D
This look is one I really enjoy. I love the idea of taking something that is meant to be worn one way and putting a new spin on things. I know this H&M dress was not intended to be worn roaming around Silverlake, but I figured throwing on a pair of short boots would add some urban flare. I like that I was able to take what should be a cocktail dress and turn it into fun shopping outfit.
This look cost under $23.00!!

Cute look! I love how you transformed a formal dress (that normally can be worn only a couple times a year) into a look that is so much more wearable! Creative. I'm totally trying this concept! lol.
