It's safe to say that I have gotten my ROI out of this dress. At a whopping $26, I've worn it for countless meetings, Thanksgiving and now this shoot. Sure, I should be wearing tights given that it's December in Chicago but we were indoors. Shooting outside, as I've gotten older, has become less and less attractive to me. Bah!

I've linked a bunch of embroidered options below that are equally as cute. I fell back in love with the trend since migrating to Mexico in the Spring. And, this dress hits the entire color spectrum which makes accessorizing oh-so-easy! I added my favorite Bauble Bar dainties and the look is complete.
