Be The Buyer

My latest Modcloth dress is actually one of the "Be The Buyer" pieces on their site. For those who don't know: Modcloth has a system where it offers a number of clothes/accessories that viewers can vote on. If there is an outpouring of love for the item, Modcloth will produce and sell it. You can even get an e-mail update if it becomes available, making it possible for you to be one of the first buyers. Essentially, the site is allowing its shoppers to pick the inventory. If it sounds like something you're interested in, visit the Modcloth site and choose what you'd like Modcloth to sell.
So, this BB Dakota dress was voted into the Modcloth inventory by...well, you and me. I was attracted to the bright color (perfect for spring) and the little rosebuds along the hem; I'm a sucker for sweet details, no? Overall, its a very preppy and clean dress and I'm quite pleased with the fabric weight and quality.

I've read about "be the buyer" before, but never got to much attention to it! too bad, because the dress is really lovely, especially the sweet hem detail.

Sabrina said...

so cute. I really love the color of the dress. I want those shoes.

Sara Lynn said...

I love that modcloth has this feature, I wish more sites would do the same :)

I love this bright blue dress, It looks adorable on you. The shoes make it fancy too, the whole look is great. I love your photo shoots because you always capture the scene around you as well, and it complements you.

Thank you for coming by my infant blog! It means a lot that people take the time to stop by and read my ramblings and I was wondering if you would like to trade links?

I hope that you are having a wonderful day!

Cherish said...

That dress is gorgeous--the colour, full short skirt, and rosette detailing on the hem--and you wear it so very well. I'll definitely be checking out Modcloth's Be The Buyer pieces.

valncami said...

Love your dress and photos! You live in such a beautiful place all your photos are always so romantic. I bought a headband similar to yours but in peacock feathers for my Halloween costume last year. I was so excited when I found it and have gotten so much wear: ) I have a picture on our blog in my costume if you want to see, under Peacock.

R, your hair has gotten really long! I love if when you wear it down like that and show us the brilliance that is your tresses.

This dress works perfectly with your hair colour and complexion.

The thing about the colour is that you could take it out of your closet and wear it all year round. And being that it's YOU wearing it, we know how versatile it will end up being!

I can't wait for this dreariness in MI to end. Sadly, we have no spring. We catapult from Not Really Quite Winter straight into blistering summer heat. It makes me sad I live here.

Francine said...

Okay you're basically my favorite ever, just so you know.

Maeko said...

I forgot to mention that your posts on Hawaii over break made me wish that we could save for Honolulu faster, but I don't think I ever told you that I'm moving there in two years if all goes according to plan.

(i.e., that my husband and I don't have children accidentally before our timeline.)

Again, I find myself wishing Modcloth's shipping charge to the UK wasn't quite so expensive... or really, I just wish I lived in America!

Your hair is so wonderful. Like fairytale hair!

K said...

quick question: your photos are always so amazing, does someone else take them of you or do you use a tripod? and if you use a tripod which one? i am at a loss of which one to buy!
