i’ve been going dancing a lot lately so i’ve been needing a new ferociously hot LBD for just such occasions when i don’t have the brain-power to configure a good outfit. hence, the new favorite Little Black Dress:

this fits perfectly and is as comfy as a nightie. i loved the flower sleeve detail, the low scoop neck, the pleating in front and especially how it was a cute trapeze style, but was still clingy enough because of the soft jersey to not look like a tent dress.
it’s still available for only $24 at LadyLanguage
(don’t forget the “painfullyhip” discount code)!
i paired it with a pair of colorful vintage heels i got for $5 at Value Village and voila. easychic.
PURE. JOY.

EDIT: In honor of my best friend Richard’s birthday today, I’m posting my first dancing injury: a stiletto to the calf! Richard unselfishly jumped in the slippery Art Gallery fountain with me in celebration of my last day in Vancouver and injured himself pretty badly. Thanks, man. Here’s to you!
and to Crazy Stiletto Lady: watch where you’re putting those things! Although I do wear this bruise with pride, i’m still pissed that i can’t wear this outfit again for a while…



















Looking fabulous, girlfriend! I love the sleeves! Lady Language has lots of sweet stuff and has given me terrific service too. Keep dancing the night away!
WOW AMBER! That dress looks great on you – I am insanely jealous, but I am thrilled that you cared enough to post it. And thanks Lynne for the kind comments about our store. I adore my customers and friends! XOXO
nice dress
Great dress.
I have been browsing on your website since like June I think and I had to join blogger just for you guys. I love fashion too but I’m also on a budget and your posts help me out a lot
Love the look by the way
Ouch, that bruise looks painfully. But your shoes are HOT and you look awesome in the dress!
I so need a new LBD, your’s is fab! And ouch, that bruise is gnarly, but any crazy dancing injury is worth sharing with the world, especially when it involves someone else’s stilettos.
