WIB: Thanks Pil!

Pil recently offered for sale a Nine West "Magic Dress" on our own YLF Style Exchange and I promptly scooped up this fabulous offer. I have enjoyed seeing the various coloured versions of this dress on other Fabbers and was dying to give it a try and add another dress to wardrobe at a fraction of the new cost.

I received the dress today and I think the fit is pretty much spot on. Here are a couple of quick pics and stylings to see what you think.

Pic 1 - 3: The dress on its own with my nude pumps.
Pic 4: with my blue lace moto and black pumps. I like how the colours in the dress sleeves peek out from underneath the lace moto. 
Pic 5: with a black blazer and my Blondo boots. I could wear it this way in the winter with tights. I would actually wear it with my leather blazer but it is currently at the cleaner's getting ready for fall so I just popped on this black blazer to show the colour contrast.

I consider this dress a fall/winter item due to the longer sleeves - it would be much too hot in summer here. I can also see it with a denim jacket topper and my blue suede booties. Any other styling suggestions my wise ones?

What do you think? Is it staying in my closet? 

Pil - thank you soooooo much :)

    I love the colours and the length on you.  It's flattering and I like it with the jackets especially. I think you could wear fall, winter and spring.  I vote keep.

    I saw this on the style exchange and have been looking forward to seeing it on you Shannon:)  It looks lovely, I particularly like it with the black jacket and boots, which create a edge to the soft feminine look of the dress.

    And just for your interest I am pretty sure Anne from Blue Hue Wonderland is wearing a Magic Dress today in her blog post.  It is such an incredibly versatile dress:)
