Fashion Spotlight: In Love With Fashion -- Review & Giveaway -- CLOSED

HAPPY THANKSGIVING YOU GUYS!!!
I hope you guys had a great time with your family and friends.
And I hope that you guys ate a lot of yummy food because I sure did.
Be sure to read this post all the way for a little Thanksgiving treat. :D

In Love With Fashion is a boutique that sells a variety of clothes.
They have dresses, tops, jumpsuits, skirts, knitwears, accessories, and many more.
Their prices range from $30 and up.

Photobucket

Here are a couple of bloggers who fell in love In Love With Fashion like I did.

I was given the opportunity to review one of their beautiful dresses for you guys.
There were so many choices, that it literally took me hours to choose one. I kept on jumping from one dress to another.

Photobucket

LOVE Gold Metallic Waterfall Dress
Retails for $48.00

Photobucket

My package came in the mail wrapped in black tissue paper inside an In Love With Fashion plastic bag.
I was so excited to open it and see my dress that I just literally ripped it open! ;P

Photobucket

Here is the front and back view of the dress.

As you can see, the color is gold with bits of silver thread sewed in all around. It's so sparkly! Just my kind of dress.

The dress does have a straight cut which I don't like. It doesn't hug my body which makes me look like I have no curves.
I got a size small/medium and the dress is still a bit too big for me.
I have to safety pin it in a couple of places just so it doesn't look like I'm wearing a sack.

Photobucket

My favorite part is the back. It's a bit low cut so it shows a little skin when it's worn. The ruffles add so much to this dress since the front is a bit plain.
I love the ruffles because it makes it more feminine considering of its straight cut.

How would you wear this out?

For a casual look -- I would add a belt to cinch it at the waist just to give myself a shape.
I'll also wear it with either a jean jacket or a black leather jacket to give it a casual feel.
Then I would add lots of thick gold bangles for a bohemian feel.
For the shoes, I would wear my black lace up booties.

For a formal event -- I would pair the LOVE Gold Metallic Waterfall Dress with my Pleaser black lace pumps.
I wouldn't wear a belt just because it doesn't really look formal with it on. I'll just saftey pin it here and there so it doesn't look too big.
I'll accessorize it with either a chunky gold necklace or a nice pair of gold dangling earrings.
I'll wear a black blazer over it just in case I get cold.
