William Riera sent me this gorgeous Renee dress (and two others) to review. This is my absolute favorite from his site. I love the pleated details in the sleeves and at the waist. And the fabric is nice and stretchy!I actually had the pleasure of meeting William a few weeks ago. He offered to custom fit all three dresses for me!!!! They now fit like a dream. I am not a fan of empire waist dresses because they make me feel like I'm pregnant but his dresses make me feel like a goddess with the subtle shirring and the jersey knit fabric. Just be careful of the sizing - I am almost always a size small but when I tried it on, it was too big for me so I wear an extra small in his dresses.
They are also sponsoring a giveaway on my blog in a couple weeks so be on the look out for that! They will be giving away a dress of the reader's choice and size!! But in the mean time you can check out their page and use the code CLOTHEDMUCH at check-out for 15% off if you need it now!
It still isn't too late to RSVP to the Downtown Blogger Meet-Up this Saturday!! If you live in Utah and have a blog, it would be a great way for you to network and meet other bloggers who are in the same boat. Plus there will be raffle giveaways for three gift cards to Uptown Cheapskate, a gift certificate for a dress from William Riera, and headbands from Academy J!! It's going to be a hoot.
And don't forget to enter my current giveaway for a pink women's Orient watch! The deadline isn't until next Thursday on the 25th so I guess you have enough time until then...
Wearing thrifted Talbots blazer ($4), thrifted Anne Klein belt ($1), William Riera dress (courtesy of William Riera), and thrifted gold heels ($3).

YES! i love this outfit. you amaze me with your outfits! can't wait for this weekend. BLOGGER MEET UP! WOOT WOOT!
ALSO, thanks for entering my giveaway. not many have entered, which mean your chance is good! :)
this dress is beautiful, but i'm really curious what it looks like underneath the talbots blazer!
For some reason, in that photo the dress reminded me of Sailor Moon.
The dark blue of the dress is very pretty-- I'm also a fan of the pleating, but it would've been nice to see the front of the dress better! But I do like the boxy silhouette look you're rocking here. :)

Wow I love that blazer with the dress! Your so lucky to get clothes to try and blog about im jealous!
you look so different, but I really like the look. You look a bit more grown up, like you could be hosting a luncheon...
I love the way you styled this up. The belted jacket looks great!
I love the colour of that dress, and the jacket is really pretty, really nicely structured/tailored.
I love the styling of this simple, but pretty dress.

Beautiful dress! I love how you paired it with the jacket. The swingy skirt looks like fun to wear!

You look classic and fabulous - what a great dress. Jersey dresses are also really comfortable and it's nice to see an option that isn't skin-tight.
this dress is stunning on you!
you look good with the dress...at first I thought the heels are nude...but it's gold my bad...
you look great wearing a dress...especially if you visit the Philippines a lot of maxi dresses that are so chic and fab.
Take Care

I heart navy! And I double heart that you paired it with nude heels!!

You look great in that outfit. I probably say that too often, but it's not because I have a limited vocabulary or lack imagination. It just is what it is! =)

Love the way you belted the blazer to show off your waist and the shoe color you went with!

I love how you put it together! It's so chic.
This outfit creates such a lovely silhouette, and the nude shoes elongates a leg like nothing else, simply beautiful.
I'm definitely a fan of a belted jacket ;)

This is sooo pretty Elaine !
With that jacket it looks great... and being a blue dress you can accessorize it with all those beautiful sailor looks :)
custom fit:) how neat! looks great on you!
This is a very good look. Nice work putting this together. Very pretty, dear. :)
oh it does look wonderful on you! how lucky you are!
I love this dress! I wish you'd included a shot of it without the blazer, though, so we could see the cute pleating/details you're talking about.
This dress totally catches me! The color, the lines... gorgeous! You look even more pretty wearing it!
;-) Have a great week!
i love your coat :)
Wow, great styling of the dress with the blazer. The blazer really added nice structure to the dress. Looking great!
Thanks for the congrats on my wedding. Yeah, it was difficult to keep it on the DL, but I figured that I could keep the blog focused on the fashion.
that color is so gorgeous, and i love how you belted your blazer
Love the blazer and how you belted it!
Beautiful. I love the way you belted that jacket. The white really pops against the blue.
I'm so glad to find your blog!! It's fun to see pictures of you around where I live!! And you are such a fashionista! Looking forward to more of your posts now that I know about your blog.
I want that blazer so badly!!!
I love this outfit. Plus black and navy is one of my favorite color combos. Fantastic outfit!
i love this dress so much on you (especially all the pleating detail) and you styled it perfectly. that's so awesome how they custom fit it to you as well! :)

You look so ladylike and prim and pretty in this outfit! I'll have to check out this site.
beautiful dress, I love how you styled it!!!
Whoa! Great look - Hot and classy. You're amazing :)

Love this look on you and I also checked out their website. I am so happy they have large sizes for us chubby Grandmas too. I love the modest styles and 3/4 length sleeves, which are very hard to find sometimes !
This is beautiful! I love the way you put the black blazer with it. I love the colors black and blue together! I am going to check out the website now!
Such a beautiful dress! And you look A-MA-ZING!!!!!
ohh i love the jacket with that dress--and the dress looks so comfortable and pretty!
i lovelovelove the way you used the jacket over it to keep it from looking too maternity-ish. wish i'd thought of that in my post partum phase with some of my maternity clothes haha. could've saved me a few of those "are you having another baby?" comments.
also, the color looks great on you!
another thing - i am loving your hair lately! is it naturally wavy like that or do you have to help it along? the sideswept look is so fresh on you!
cute dress and i just love how u styled it with the blazer! very classy:)

I definitely love the simplicity of the dress! I love that color too.
omg i looove jersey dresses because they are so lightweight, comfy, and fun to wear! and dark/navy blue is definitely a good color choice to go with. i really do love everything about that dress! not to mention how cute your blazer is with that white belt, and gold shoeeees (my favorite color) :) this whole outfit from head to toe is killer lady!!
