We are recovering from a weekend of moving (into the new shop!) and an unwavering stomach bug that has hit our house hard. That is not a good combination, if you can imagine. It was not pretty. In fact, never mind — don’t imagine anything. I should have just left that thought alone. I’m sorry for any unwelcome images that may have crossed your mind during this first paragraph.

Thank goodness for pretty dresses that can speak for themselves because that’s what it’s going to have to do today. Leopard dresses are good for that, though. You can always count on a leopard dress to say what you are thinking without saying a word. (And this one says ‘what stomach bug? i feel great!’ mainly because no one saw it coming and we took these photos last Friday. I said they could speak for you, not tell the future. )

  1. Um, I freakin' love this dress! One of my favorites! Unfortunately I won't be able to wear anything like it for a few more months because of this baby bump I'm sporting, but I might just get it to motivate me after the baby comes. Thanks for sharing!

  2. I've been seeing that dress pop up across the internet — super cute and clearly you're on trend (although I wouldn't expect anything less)! The dropped waist is not really my friend so I'm hoping to scoop up the sweater version.

  3. You look great!
    I've been heavily eyeing this dress for weeks! I do have to ask, in your opinion, do you think this material will pill from seatbelts and cross body bags? I bought a similar dress from Loft last year and it lasted two wears before looking haggard across the front. 🙁 However, the material used for this dress seemed a bit more substantial from what I remember.

  4. I was just lusting over this dress on the Loft website yesterday – love the styling, you look amazing!

  5. I love this dress! I've been seeing it pop up around the blogosphere lately and it's so darn cute on everyone! You look adorable! And yikes, the stomach flu is no fun so I am glad you guys are on the mend!

  6. I remember this style of dress in 1969/70 my mom made me dresses like this and I thought I was hot stuff!! Love it!

  7. This dress looks super unflattering on the model on the LOFT site, but you look great in it!

  8. Once again you made an outfit look absolutely perfect. Layering it with another shirt underneath to create a collar was an excellent decision.

  9. I saw this dress on the website and am in love with it, but all the reviews say that it is massive. Did you find that it fits true to size? Loving the look!

  10. I just ordered this dress and yes it runs LARGE, I may style with a belt for the price and pattern its too cute to return
