Fun Print

 Good Morning!  I hope you have had a great start to your week!  Mine has started a little hectic with some hiccups at work first thing and all day on Monday, but hopefully it will be smooth sailing for the rest of the week.  Monday wasn't a bad day, but it was definitely a Mon-day! 
 
I wore this dress to work last week.  It is a little shorter than I like to wear to work...and for some reason my mirrors didn't portray the length like these pictures do!  You know, I did the 'below the fingertip' check and all....I thought everything was good.  Once I saw these pictures I was like...wow..that's a little shorter than I would have liked.  I still love the dress and got a lot of compliments at work, but I think I will save it for my personal time.  AND this is where I go into my long leg tangent again.  Any other person 5'7" and under...this dress would have been the perfect length for work.  So I have a lot of dresses that I can't wear to work, but others may be able to.  It's a little deceiving because I still have a lot of leg that is actually hidden under that dress!  Anyway, I am not complaining about being tall...I am actually proud of it.  I am just saying it can be inconvenient at times because when I want to wear amazing dresses or skirts (like the one below) to work, I can't. 
Do you have length problems??  Too much length or not enough?

  4. Very pretty dress - it doesn't look that short, but I can definitely attest to the fingertip rule failing me at times!!

  8. I can definitely relate with length issues, as we are the same height. I have a dress that fit perfectly until it shrunk in the wash and shortened by at least a few inches. I was able to get a few inches back by some intense stretching and pulling of the dress. Maybe that could work for you? Either way, I really like your dress :)

    1. I have definitely done the stretching thing...on several dresses and many jeans! I can't believe someone else has done the same thing! Thank you for visiting and commenting!

  9. I'm only 5'6 but often have a hard time finding dresses that are long enough for work too. This dress is super cute on you and I love it paired with the tassel necklace! Thanks for sharing your look with Three-fer Thursday :)
