Grayscale

It's been a while (aka a week) since I wore this outfit but I had to post these pictures! I must have been feeling very monochromatic last week because I wore this and my Burgundy/Pink look.  I wore one of my favorite dresses that I got almost one year ago from my mom for my birthday. It is McQ by Alexander McQueen and we got it at Century 21 for far less than the retail price!  I looked it up when I first bought it and found it that it was from one of Lee's last collections before his tragic death so that makes it all the more special [it is Autumn 2009].  I quite enjoy these photos, especially that jumping one, it came out so good!  The neighbors weren't home so I didn't feel self conscious, ha ha, so you get some crazy pictures too.
Dress: McQ by Alexander McQueen gift, Blazer: Necessary Objects via The Desert Fox blogshop, Sandals: Michael Kors (DSW) $55, Watch: Michael Kors, Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs

    Great jumping shot, I love the blasé expression on your face. And what a special dress. I hope you'll hang on to it. Not just for historical reasons but it fits you to a T!
