ONE. I LIVE IN ARIZONA
TWO. IT'S MAY 13th
THREE. IT SHOULD BE LIKE, 100DEGREES OUT.

WTF!

Fashion Reccommendation Time!

nobody@vox.com(Crystal) — Sun, 11 May 2008 17:23:04 -0700

It's been a while since I've done this.. and that's mainly because I haven't found a product that's been this amazing, in a very,very, very long time. I present to you, my fellow fashionistas.. the American Apparel Bandeau Dress:

AAdress-musthave

Okay, so why is this dress a MUST HAVE? Well, let's start with the fact that the fabric is PERFECT for summer. Light cotten/spandex mix maxes it move with your body, but hug perfectly.
"Sure, Cee," you're thinking, "A dress with a great light fabric is cool, but what else?"
Alright, fine. How about it being available in about 15 amazing colors? Including the BROWN, shown here, NAVY (which I currently have on) and Bright GREEN (which is sitting in my closet... yes, I love this dress so much, I bought TWO!)
"Okay, Cee.. nice, lotsa colors. We love that. What else you got?"
NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?
OKAY...
How about the effing FIFTEEN WAYS that you can wear this dress? No, I'm not talking about accessories. I mean, the dress ITSELF can be worn up to 15 ways! Check it out:

If that's not enough to make you run to your credit card and buy one.. I have one last mention about this dress..

It's $36.
LOVE.
