Can I just say that these shoes are a thousand times hotter in person than they are online?! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! It took every bit of my will power not to wear them right this instant!!! It's going to be a killer not wearing them for the next month!!!
Here's the shoes that Megan (Im My Own Princess) found for me!!! Thanks Megan!
As for the dress... I'm not sure. The material isn't as nice as I hoped it would be and the color is lighter than pictured and it's wrinkled like crazy!!! I couldn't try it on yet though, since I'm at work, but I'll update it later and let you ladies know how it fits. I know a lot of you really liked modcloth's stuff so I figured I could help you ladies out with sizing stuff!
Here's the dress, for reference!

Haha I just realized it might look like I intended to pair them together. Absolutely not!
The shoes are for my TTD shoot at Coney Island at the end of July.
The dress is for my friend's wedding at Land's End in August!

Thanks!! I'm just not looking forward to ironing it. They literally send it crumpled up and each ruffle is wrinkled. So I'm gonna have to go through one by one and iron them! This dress better be worth it!

Maybe you can just have the dry cleaner steam it for you so you dont have to do it yourself?? The dress is SO cute - but what a PITA to iron

aww jill!!!! I'm so happy you love them!!!! I'm still SO jealous cause I really want them too!!! did you order online or go to the store? I looked at dsw in huntington and they didn't have them. I was hoping to guilt FH into buying them for me.
the ones I'm getting (baldwin by chinese laundry) are sooo small, what size did you order? are the lites out true to size??

You have no idea how much I love them. I put 'em on again as soon as I got home- DH was laughing at me strutting around the house in them. Haha!
They run true to size, but I vary between a 6 or a 6.5 for heels. So I opted for the 6 (I have a few pairs of CLs and they usually do run large) and they fit beautifully with just a little extra room at the toe. I ordered them online at DSW. In fact, I ordered the last one in my size!!
As for the dress... I'm a little disappointed. I'm extremely happy I got the medium by mistake because boy was it snug. It fit my waist perfectly but DH had to hold the top of the zipper together while I zipped it up in order to get it over my boobs. It looked really cute on, BUT it was too long. It hits right above the knee and it just looks weird with the type of dress it is. So I hiked it up about 2 inches in the middle and it was transformed! It looked SO much better. And the way the middle is, it should be easy to take it up a little, especially since my grandma is the best seamstress. I think I'll be keeping it after all!
