Probably one of my best shots ever… just saying.
Happy Monday my friends!
We had such a lovely weekend doing all sorts of over the top Christmasy things. I loved it.
But who cares about what kind of weekend I had. Am I right?
I’m sure most of you have noticed by now that my capsules don’t ever include “fancy” clothing items.
Honestly? My lifestyle doesn’t really lend itself to needing these items super often so it’s a waste of space to include them in my daily wear items.
But, sometimes I DO need something a bit fancier… especially this time of year with all of the Holiday parties.
So my eventual plan is to have a mini capsule that includes a few dresses and shoes that I can pull out when an event calls for them.
But, ugh… dress up clothing has always been a bit of a struggle for me. I hate to spend money on it, and I’ve never really found a “cheap” dress that I absolutely love.
What ends up happening is that I keep buying a new dress every time I have a new event because I don’t really have anything that I love to wear.
I want to change that.
I’ve decided to save up and get a few dresses that I absolutely love and will work for any type of event that I might need to attend. In other words, it’s time to put on my big girl pants and do some investing.
Really, I’ll end up saving money in the long run because I won’t be throwing money away on dresses I’ll only wear once.
But oh.my.word. I am SOO picky when it comes to dresses that I know it’s going to take me awhile to get this mini capsule in place. My plan is to keep you updated as I add pieces to it.
But wait! There is hope yet. I actually found a dress that I am IN LOVE WITH. Molly at Mosifer P. was kind enough to send me her Samuel dress and the minute I put it on it was love at first sight.
It’s simple, clean, and it feels like a cloud. It’s the kind of dress you can wear all night and not regret your decision. It’s a little black dress, but it’s extra special because of the cut and fabric.
It’s absolutely lovely!
I’m so glad to have connected with her. Not only because she makes great products (I also REALLY like her Lowa top and the Antelope jacket), but because she has an incredible vision.
Mosifer P. is all about quality pieces that require consideration before purchasing. Molly is really adamant about sustainable practices in garment construction and urging her customers to think about the bigger impact of their purchases.
Plus, she is very conscious of her fiber choices — silk, wool and other recycled fibers especially.
Cool right?
She’s exactly the kind of female entrepreneur that we celebrate here at Truncation.
And because she is awesome, she wants to give you guys a promo code! The code is for 20% off all in-stock holiday-ready wear (everything that is listed in the holiday section under the shop tab is in-stock). It’s good through the first of the year, but if you order by December 20th, you’ll have it in time for Christmas!
Most importantly, the code is: TRUNCHOLIDAY
Cheers to that! And cheers to celebrating your Holiday with pieces that you love.
Until next time,
P.S. If you are curious about my shoes, they can be found here. My bag and necklace were my grandmother’s so I can’t help you there. 🙂
P.S.S. I feel naked without my glasses… help!
So cute! I’m hoping to step up my dress wardrobe for 2016 and I love how versatile this one looks 🙂
Thanks Lara! It really is versatile!
So fun! I LOVE that handbag – I inherited one very similar from my grandma and I always forget about it – but I need to dust that off and actually use it!
Thanks Lindsey! It’s really special to me, but I honestly don’t use it that much. I definitely need to use it more!
You look great! Also, I love this background of music notes!
Thank you Cara!
You look beautiful. I love the whole outfit, complete with the shoes and purse. Plus, the pictures/location is so awesome!
Thank you Shann! It’s one of my favorite spots. 🙂
I love your LBD and the purse is awesome too! The background is so fun, wish I could find one like that for a photoshoot, being that I am a musician..would be so perfect! Thanks for sharing your great style!!
Valerie
Thanks Valerie! It’s definitely one of my favorite places to take pictures!
i love the way that you put the clothes together (and i love that purse! 😀 )
Thanks Andi!
What a lovely holiday outfit! The shoes are very special looking and really accent the entire ensemble very well. And what a beautiful location to take fashion portraits. That wall in the background with notes is both whimsical and stunning. I had to stop for just a moment to wonder what that musical melody would sound like if played…
Thank you Denay! I have also wondered what melody it is, but even though I’ve tried googling it, I can’t figure it out.
You look so so very cute in that outfit… and not only do I love that dress – I love that beautiful purse, too!
Thank you Clare! You are so sweet!
love that shoes and its a really pretty dress…
Thank you Dixya!
That IS a great dress! I love that she is using sustainable fibers and is conscientious. So many great things all in one pretty black dress! You look great and that wall is so neat!!!
Thank you Melissa! I love that about her clothes too!
These pictures are awesome! Love your look!
Thank you Claire! 🙂
You look lovely! Great outfit!
Thanks Jessica! xoxo
I love your outfit! SO pretty!
Thank you Adriana!
Besides you looking so classy and chic, I’m obsessed with the musical wall behind you! Looks amazing, and you still look great even if it’s not “fancy”. I love!

Thank you Erica! You are so sweet! The wall is my favorite too. 🙂
