OK, with all my crap of late I broke down and hit the mall today (Bellevue Square). As much as I wanted to go berkserk (Fendi watch, another pair of Choos and a black Miu Miu leather Coffer that I about fainted over), I held my ground and kept it a lil' more practical:

this is a black shirtdress from Nordstrom's Classiques line (their own label). I've got interviewing coming up this summer and it's about half the price of a new Theory pantsuit I'm eyeing. This is a great cut and super flattering with NO button gapping (huge pet peeve of mine). It's cut very generously, so if you've got curves and booty like I do no matter my size it's a great one to check out.

I had my LV Trouville today and I hafta admit it looked smashing with this dress!!

New dress, my black Choos and a killer bag - hire me, hire me! :tup:

^^ I hear you! this is a rayon/poly/spandex blend and has a good heft but not too shiney or polyester looking if that makes sense.

I always do a 'squeeze test' of clothing, crumpling it in my hand to see how much it wrinkles and how much it springs back. This fabric passed my test! also, black helps hide any potential wrinkles too.

I've been noticing a few shirt dresses this season and I think it's a nice silouette. Rebecca and Drew have a very pretty one, quite similar to the one you bought.

They're clean and classy. Congratulations! Good choice!
