Although I don't think you can hardly say I contributed in the creative realm... unless that really means I was just eating your ice cream :P<br />Do you really feel a tad on the frumpy side when wearing this? It's bizarre how sometimes a garment can make us feel a certain way, but I can guarantee it certainly doesn't look it. Professional is more a word I'd use. Pair it with a cardi and some sensible heels and you'll be on (corporate) fire :)poppykettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089242289854891320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-18198010820127317132014-03-10T06:29:11.724+11:002014-03-10T06:29:11.724+11:00I'm not sure how you got frumpy out of that dr...I'm not sure how you got frumpy out of that dress because all I could thing was WOW!ladykatzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046811640134997947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787598870339075442.post-82950439482560252562014-02-26T22:35:22.117+11:002014-02-26T22:35:22.117+11:00Absolutely love it!
