Prairie NY and ZOA Dresses!

I recently received my latest ideeli order which were this Prairie NY racerback dress, and a ZOA shirt dress.  I really like both of them!  Though the Prairie NY dress is a little preggo looking from the side.  Oh well, at least if I get pregnant I will have one cute dress to wear.  Hahaha!



But from the front, it's a really flattering fit!  It's the perfect summar party dress.  Not too dressy and not too casual.  It's hard to see from the pictures, but there's sunflower details on the bottom:


And this is a close up of the neckline:


So yeah, I really like this dress!  Though the upper back racer portion of the dress is a very thin t-shirt like material and is little see through.  You can definitely see my bra underneath.  But I cannot go without a bra in a white dress!  Hmmm maybe I can take it somewhere and have bra cups sewn in.  Oh yeah, and a plus is that this dress is made in the USA (NYC)!  I like buying stuff that are made in my home country lol.  I got it for $59 on ideeli, down from $257 and I definitely think it's worth the price.

I also really like this ZOA sleeveless drawstring dress:



I've always liked the look of shirt dresses.  And the color of this one is really nice.  The photo is pretty true to real life color.  I got it in a size S and it is a little big.  But since the style is kinda baggy, I don't think it's a major issue.  Also the cinchable waist can be adjusted tighter.  It's always better to be too big than too small!  This one was only 39 bucks too, down from $135.  So I felt like I had to pick it up.  I wore it over the weekend and it looked really cute with some brown platform sandals!  Very lightweight and airy for the hot weather too.  It's not super short, but when wind blew, I totally thought I was going to moon the whole world!  So definitely cannot wear thongs with it.  Hahaha.

  1. Cute dresses. What I like best is that the wedding is a month away, yet you are talking pregnancy already :)

  2. I LOVE the first dress. If it doesn't work for you, I'd be happy to take it off your hands... : ) But seriously, I will. I have stopped checking ideeli/hautelook/gilt because it tempts me too much. Maybe I should start checking those sites again.

  3. @Becky: Haha you are funny! I do not want to get pregnant any time soon though, that I can guarantee! I still feel like a kid myself...

    @Ana: Haha Ok I'll let you know! I know what you mean about those sites being so tempting... I have to stop looking sometimes too! But when I'm bored, I look online or on my phone to kill time, then I spend money! It's not a good habit...

  4. I love the neckline of that white dress! I'm with Ana, I unsubscribed from those because I would always look at those sites when I got the emails, even if I didn't need anything. Too tempting!
