Dresses!

OK! I finally got around to asking Torsten to take photos of me in my new dresses. And I know they must be great, because I don't hate these photos of me as much as I hate most photos of me, and that's despite the messy hair.

So, without further ado, the dresses (the first two are from NY&Co and the third is from Target):




How great are they? They are perfect for everything--wearing around the house, wearing to run errands, wearing over my bathing suit to the gym, wearing to a casual dinner--they're so versatile and comfortable! And I think they are adorable. And they were all such bargains! In case you couldn't tell, I'm very pleased with my purchases.

I don't yet have photos of the shower door and dog door, but rest assured, they are both AWESOME as well.

My parents are leaving today, which sucks, but WOW was their visit ever productive. And I'll see them again at Thanksgiving! And in the meantime, I can enjoy all the little upgrades to our house that my dad did. While wearing my new dresses, of course.

Those are all really cute! I got into the casual sundresses a lot this summer - that's like all I ever wore. I love them!

Becky said...

I love them! You look fabulous. :) I like dresses, but I don't wear them often enough.

Hope said...

I am a huge fan of dresses and these are really cute! But I wanted to mainly leave a comment to say you are looking really great and healthy and glowy!

:)

Mandy said...

They are all lovely and you look fabulous!!

AshleyD said...

OH fun! I especially love the third one!

Catherine said...

You look amazing, I LOVE the second one! Great buys!!

Erin said...

Very cute!!! I really like Target one. I don't think your hair looks bad at all. I've always dreamed of having your kind of wild curly hair. Mine is wavy, but never makes good ringlets.

I love the second one!

Kate said...

Dress love! They are all gorgeous, but I especially like the blue striped one. Those colors are great! You look fantastic in them!

S said...

Too cute! Note to self...need more dresses like Jess!

maggiecheung said...

Jess you look SO CUTE! I like them all but I LOVE the second one. I want one. I started wearing dresses and skirts when I realized I hated wearing shorts. I own a bazillion skirts, but not enough dresses. Must make amends! Summer sales, here I come!

J and J Acres said...

Wow... I can never find cute stuff like that at Target!! Great find!!

Sizzle said...

What great fashion finds! They all look really good on you. Flattering cuts and color. YAY!

La Petite Chic said...

Looking good, Jess! The second one is my favorite :)

Jummy said...

You really great in those dresses and they are really cute.

Andhari said...

I love the first one the most :D So pretty! And you can wear it during the day or during the evening too :)

SoMi's Nilsa said...

You're losing weight, girl! I'm really impressed! And it's great to feel good in clothes - especially when they were such a bargain. Nice job!

Tess said...

The second one is my favorite as well!

Jeni said...

Super cute! I love the third one especially! Funny how everybody likes different ones eh? I guess that means they're all perfect. :)

Fiona Picklebottom said...

Those are great! I especially like the blue/purple/pink one.

Allie said...

Those are adorable!

heidikins said...

ooooh! pretty! I really think that last one is super flattering, huzzah for dresses!

xox

sassafras said...

I wore a dress a couple weekends ago and my husband asked why I was dressed up since I never wear dresses. I forgot how comfy they are! You look fantastic!

lifeintheleftlane said...

Good purchases! I have the second dress and wear it all the time. It's so comfy and perfect for hot summer days. In fact, I'm wearing a cute long purple/pink skirt from NY&Co today - I love that store!

artemisia said...

Those all look great! I never buy or wear dresses, mostly because I hate having to shave my (gorilla-like, course hair) legs.

Christine said...

Seriously I LOVE the middle one! In fact I might make the trek out to NY & Co. in order to get it. I think it would work out great in my office w/ a sweater.

And seriously, you look completely fab in all of them. Great buys!

Christine said...

Sorry! That last post was me. Don't know why it came up w/o the link.

Lynn said...

Love them! You look so cute in all three but the middle one is my special favourite :). I'm envious!

Steph the WonderWorrier said...

I love them!!! I'm a huge fan of summer dresses.

Mostly what I noticed though was your weight-loss! Well done! You look great! (Not that you didn't look great before, but I do want to compliment you on your noticeable change since it is something you're working on).

:-D

Shelly Overlook said...

I love them all but I have to say I think the last is particularly flattering. Go you!

Stevie said...

Those are GREAT! I love the colors on the first two, and the third one? Hello, sexy! Excellent choices, you look great!

kilax said...

Yay! Dresses! I love the floral print on the first one. For some reason, I used to dislike florals, but now, most of my skirts are floral prints!

Molly said...

I love them all, especially #2. You look fabulous!

Kass said...

Those dresses are absolutely lovely on you! I wish I could find a dress I like and actually start wearing them. My stupid big butt hinders my dress enjoyment.

And as always, I've made this comment before, but damn girl you have nice calves. You should show them off around town more if you don't already! :)

Lindsay said...

My fave thing about dresses is it gets a girl some compliments but it seems like you are totally cheating becasue summer dresses are so comfortable. Score!

Bayjb said...

LOVE all the dresses, great choices. I love the variety in color too, they'll be perfect for any situation.

Kat said...

Dresses are my all time favorite attire during the summer months (hello I live in the hell zone) and those are perfect! And YOU look mahvelous! Just look at those skinny legs!

Non Sequitur Chica said...

You look great!!

I almost bought dress #2 myself. :-)

.:*aMbAr*:. said...

WOW!!! I love those dresses. Specially the second one [I'm really into color blocks lately] and for $11 I hate you!!! LOL kidding.

Saly said...

I love those dresses!! I've decided that I want to be more of a 'dress person'. You look GREAT.

bustysatan said...

Supercute! I was going to tell you that the first is my favorite, but then I saw the second and third and realized that I love them all! You look lovely.

Micaela said...

You look great! I love your hair that length too.

d e v a n said...

Very cute!!They are all super adorable, and I really LOVE the 2nd one!

EZ and RJ said...

1) i love that you made your husband take your picture :)

2) you have really great legs! shorter dresses are good for you!

3) i really like the second one but they all look great!

lfar said...

second dress! want!

amber said...

I like the first one best, and then the black/gray, and then the middle. But you look cute in all.

And PS, if that's your messy hair then I'm in really deep trouble, because that's how mine looks on a regular basis.
