The Perfect Slip Dress

After shopping around a bit and checking out several brands of slip dresses, I found the Express slip dress had the nicest fabric. The fabric feels substantial and drapes across the body beautifully.

Prior to taking the plunge and buying this slip dress, I kind of thought slip dresses were for twenty or thirty-somethings. However, when I saw this beautiful hot pink number, I had to try it. It was love at first try-on. Instantly, I knew I needed to keep this dress and style it up…and my husband was quick to agree. Such as stylish, modern piece for my wardrobe.

While I don’t have any specific events in mind at the minute, I’m excited about styling it up for both casual outings or dressier events. I can see wearing it to a wedding shower, a baby shower, and many other events.
