Is it me or is it really hard to find a dress when you’re really in need of one? It seems that whenever I have a wedding or cocktail party to attend, I have nothing to wear and then, usually settle on something I don’t love. These days, whenever I find a dress I like (especially if it’s budget friendly), I just buy it. It’s such a good feeling being invited to a party and then remembering”oooh! I can wear that dress…” That’s pretty much what happened here. Got the dress, got invited to a party and already had my outfit hanging in the closet. Paired with these bow shoes, which are a big statement on their own, I kept everything else as simple as can be.

I'm pretty good with high heels in this city (up to 4"), but not sure how you do the 5" ones. You deserve a medal for that!

Yes! I know exactly what you mean π I would much rather plan ahead and buy pretty dresses I know I'll wear later. I hate the feeling of searching for that one special dress and never being able to find it.
You look absolutely stunning in this black and white dress!

Helena, this is such a pretty dress to wear to a party! What you said is so true too..if you find a dress that you can't resist you should just get it! I saw this pretty white dress at Zara on sale, and for some reason I can't fathom I didn't buy. And good luck trying to find it again! I find Zara sale items get snapped up so fast. Anyways, great look. In love with those heels (the bows are perfection).
