Words cannot express the wonderful evening my Husband and I had Sunday, nor can they express the glory of this faboo dress ;) ~ Yes, I can be shallow, but if you only knew how long I've waited for a special occasion to wear it. I thrifted this Nieves Lavi silk jersey dress this summer for 4 dollars ( Who throws this stuff out ??? ) and have been petting it, lovingly eyeing it, and almost sleeping with it for 6 months ;) I knew it was "high-end" the minute I spied it and after looking it up, I am flabbergasted that someone actually gave it away. I can't find the pattern description , nor what year it was produced, but as far as I can tell, it may be the " Nirvana" print. Any clues ? Ahhh..... silk jersey........ my new favorite ~
The dress wraps around my waist 3 times, plus a super-long tie in the back and luckily has a hidden zipper for quick escape.
I am not a "label" person and actually thought it was a poly-blend from possibly the 70's .............
OK, the evening was wonderful as well, with lobster tails and shrimp, cheesecake and kisses ...............
I have been asked to tell our love story, but will save it for tomorrow .
( I had a shoe issue, black or brown boots ~ heels or not ~ but I let Hubs decide what he liked :)
Plus, I slutted it up with my over-the-knee socks, which I love ......
I wore 2 charm bracelets and simple coppertone dangles as not to distract from the dress.
12 years and counting :)
Babies we were !

What a beautiful bride! I'm looking forward to the story.
Even in the thumbnail in my Google reader, I could tell this was going to be a gorgeous dress! And I really like the bracelet you've paired it with.
What a find! I'm glad to know that someone else looks up the original value of some of their thrift store finds. I don't do it with everything, but often I have a feeling about certain things and like you, wonder who parts with things like this.
I am in love with this dress. What a spectacular color on you. It really pops!

Reva, you look stunning in your beautiful dress, and I love that you wore brown boots AND black socks. Love, love, love!
Happy anniversary to you and your lucky husband!
Girlfriend! First off I have to say how stunning you look! Meow! Strong colors and prints are good to you, and I love the pairing of the dress with boots AND THOSE THIGH HIGHS! Super sexy, not slutty one bit.
And now: Happy Anniversary! Your wedding photo is sweet (you both look adorable!) and I wish you many many more happy years to come.
I will return and read all about how you two met. In the meantime: keep it up silky saffron!
Wow, that is a steal. Honestly, I would never have guessed it was worth so much. Maybe someone inherited it and just packed it up with a bunch of other clothes without really looking.
I love the boots, good choice. Also love your wedding photo -- you are a good looking couple! Happy anniversary.
That dress looks wonderful on you. I'd so have chosen that beauty if I'd spotted it first. Accesssorised to perfection to.
Love the pic of ou and Rod. Many congratulations and much love for many more years of wedded bliss. xxx
What a spectacular find with that dress and it looks great on you. All the best and congratulations on your anniversary. Am looking forward to reading how you met!
