I certainly love the Amy Butler Lotus dress. So much, in fact, that I’d planned on wearing this version in celebration of International Wear a Dress Day/Week.
Except, when I got dressed this morning, I decided that I really wanted needed to wear these shoes.
Which don’t really go with my pink dress. At all. If I didn’t happen to have a meeting today and therefore be required to present an illusion of professionalism, I would have just worn the aqua shoes and pink dress and said “to hell with it.”
So, I pulled out my black stretch twill version (and I’ve got to reiterate my point in my earlier post about this dress–this one works so much better in a stretch woven, since it’s meant to be quite fitted) of the Amy Butler Lotus Tunic/Dress, because I know you can wear aqua shoes with a plain black dress. And it gave me an excuse to show it off to you guys.
I also know that a denim jacket (my fave–I watched it at the Sundance Catalog Shop forever until it went on clearance) goes with everything–including both aqua shoes and a plain black dress. So I think I did okay in my celebration of International Wear a Dress Day/Week… Right?
(My apologies to Antoinette for not wearing the dress I said I was going to wear.)

The call of the shoe is mighty compelling. Woe to she who does not heed the call of the shoe! I saw your photo in the Intl. Dress Week pool first and the very first thing I noticed were the shoes, so good choice picking the black dress to completely honor the shoe.
You can still wear the pink dress and upload later this week, if you’re up for it!
The pink dress is very cute – I really like that neckline. I came here from the Dress Week photo pool, because I was curious about what the dress looked like without a jacket.
And those are really cool shoes.
You are so cute it HURTS! Seriously!
Man, how much would it cost me to get you to make one of those for me?
Why Rach, aren’t you planning on finishing sewing your wrap dress to celebrate International Wear a Dress Week?
