Dress #43 Not Worn

The last time I remember wearing this outfit was to a company Christmas party in 2006.  I thought the red was festive for Christmas back then, but now I think the shirt is a little bit too low cut and the outfit kind of makes me look like a witch.  The Christmas party was during my first year at the company and the party was held at Maggiano's in The Grove.  I got a little tipsy and fell out of my chair during the party.  All my co-workers thought it was so funny and joked about it at every employee social gathering and party thereafter until I moved on to another job.  The skirt was free.  I got it out of a clothing donation bag.  We went over to one of my co-worker's houses during our lunch break to go through clothes she was donating.  The material is stretchy and form fitting.  I used to wear it to work there.  It's very comfortable.  It's made by Express Tricot.  88% Tactel Nylon and 12% Lycra Spandex.  Size S.  Made in the USA. 

I got the shirt right before I moved to LA from Boston from Filene's Basement.  I don't remember how much it cost but it couldn't have been more than $20.  I loved the color and the sleeves.  I've actually worn the shirt a few times to more dressy events.  I still like it but I think it's too low cut for me now and the waistline of the shirt is very loose fitting.  It's made by Hot Tempered.  The body is 46% polyester, 46% rayon and 8% spandex.  The trim is 45% acetate and 55% rayon.  Size M.  Made in the USA.

I used to own a couple of long skirts with slits on the side.  I always wore them with my knee high boots.  I bought these boots specifically to wear with those skirts.  I like them because the heel is very low (about 2 1/2 inches).  I got the boots from zappos.com for between $30-$20.  They're called Junipar Black Distress.  Made by Annie.
