Shabby Apple “Barefoot in the Park” Dress Review
Fashion/Clothing, For Mom, Fun Stuff, Reviews — By Lindsey on July 7, 2010 at 1:47 pm
I am generally **not** a dress person. I don’t know why, but I’ve never been comfortable in them. Probably because I’m a bit of a tomboy – I’d rather be climbing trees or riding horses, and how can you do that in a dress?
But this dress… oh this lovely dress… it simply speaks to me. Isn’t it beautiful?
It’s totally a plus that it looks so good with cowboy boots, don’t you think? I might have to buy some…
With that baby blue color, the tiers of fabric masking any body imperfections I might have (all my weight goes to my rear and thighs – it’s my curse), and the simple and comfortable pull-over design, I fell in love at first sight. Could this be the dress that would cure me of my “I hate dresses” attitude?
Say it is so!
When Shabby Apple asked me if I would like to review a dress, I decided to give this beauty, appropriately called Barefoot in the Park, a chance. And I’m glad I did because it is perfect for me! Not too girly or frilly, but still feminine and simple enough to bring my comfort level way up. It is very well-made, is a beautiful color, and accessorizes perfectly with a short jacket or a simple belt and heels. I seriously can’t think of anything I don’t like about it.
<—- This is how a real person who has had one baby and is pregnant with her second looks in this dress. Still looks good! :)
The price is lovely at $49.00, too!
Also available in a lovely grey – Atlanta Fog. Sooo gorgeous.
