Coral Dress
Local Blog Meet Up
I have a thing for dresses with sleeves.
So when I saw this dress. . .I knew I had to have it.
It’s from ModCloth. Have you shopped there before? I frequently check their New Arrivals but this is the first time I’ve bought something.
Their return policy is fantastic, so there’s no harm in buying it and returning it. And that was the tipping point for me.
OH, and the dress was $51.99.
Oh, AND it reminds me of Mad Men. And I’m kind of a huge fan.
I think I really would have enjoyed the fashion of the 50’s.
This dress is sold out, but make sure to check their new arrivals daily for other cute dresses!

You are up a posting bright and early !! Just on my way to work, hurray, it is Friday 🙂 Love that coral colour, perfect for Spring. Happy Weekend !
Forgot to say, finding a dress with sleeves can be tough, espc. when you reach a ‘certain’ age. I am not a fun of displaying my upper arms so much…..
Thank u again! Love it! We spoke highly of you and your blog at our blog meet up in Charlotte! There was 13 of us and all agreed your blog Is GREAT!
How sweet! Thank you! 🙂
AND, it has POCKETS!!! Love pockets 🙂
You are just so stinkin’ cute!!!! Very pretty color and compliments you well.
Thats super cute 🙂

Oh, Mad Men. Gotta get that ball rolling on Netflix. You look super sassy!
Hi Kate!

What a great color and dress is flattering!
Love it and love the color!! You look beautiful!
I checked out mod cloth when I got the coupon from birchbox. I didn’t care for it. The dress looks great on you though. I’m very impressed.
Sleeves and pockets?! Very cute, love that color for spring.
Love the color, and the waist band! It creates such a nice fit for all shapes! (Not that you have to worry about that! :}) And I totally agree, I would looooove to have been born in the 50’s! Are you excited for the new season of Mad Men?
Have a great day! -Jessie
Your hair is gorgeous (as usual) and you look gorgeous in that color! Love your blog and your style!

Love this! Ever since watching Pan Am, I’ve been obsessed with the retro fashion! I just discovered Shabby Apple last week; their clothes are amazing and they have some awesome sales!!
That dress is fab! Coral looks amazing on you!

I love it! That’s a really flattering color on you. How is the sizing? I always feel nervous ordering online. Did you get your normal size?
What an amazing dress! Looks fabulous on you! I’ve always been afraid to order from Modcloth… I tend to only order online from stores that I’ve actually shopped in so that I know how their sizes run. After buying this dress what do you think? Do the sizes run smaller or larger than what you usually find or is it true to size?
I love Mod Cloth and and the dress!! 🙂
I am such a sucker for dresses with pockets!
Audra
Love the dress 🙂
This dress looks great on you! We were just talking about Modcloth yesterday at work! I love a dress with sleeves and pockets- and this one fits both! I hate it’s sold out but I’ll for sure check out the new arrival section!
You like dresses with sleeves and you’re not even over 50! Do you know how hard it is to find cute dresses with sleeves? That dress is adorable and the color is perfect for you! Pinterest has many of us following you. It is so nice to figure out how to make our hair look like it does when we leave the salon! (Well….almost!)
It looks better on you than it does on the website!
I was going to post the same thing – much better on Kate!
You look radiant in that color! Love the dress 🙂
Very cute dress. Where did you get the shoes? I’m looking for a nude peep toe with a low heel and those look perfect.
Shoes came from TJ Maxx!
Whose shoes r they?
love this dress. i saw it a while back and drooled a little. i get a little scared ordering online because of sizing. its nice to know they have a good return policy.
Cute, I can’t wait till I am not pregnant anymore and can buy some cute things like that! Love your Blog!
Everything about that dress is so flattering on you, you look awesome! I just bought a coral top from Target yesterday! They have some Cute new summer things in!
I forgot to add that your hair looks awesome there, what did you do different to your bangs!!
You look AMAZING in Red!
You look so lovely in this dress! I like that you are continuing to branch out with bold colors! I love the dresses at ModCloth but they look so short on-line. Maybe I’ll give it a try after seeing how awesome this looks on you. The 50s are my all time favorite fashion period!
I bought this dress too – love it. And I enjoy your blog.
This is gorgeous on you!! I love dresses with sleeves, too!!
Hand that dress over… NOW! It’s great, love that colour and love modcloth 🙂
Have a great weekend, Esther.
cute…u r tiny!
Shoot, I wish it wasn’t sold out! I love dresses with sleeves too!
Love the dress! I am a big fan of coral too. I like the sleeves and the length of the dress too. I agree as well, the 50s did have great style. I will have to check out ModCloth! Enjoy your blog!
love youe dress! it is so flattering on you! i’m also a mad men fan, believe it or not, jon hamm is a friend of mine, we were in the theatre department together in college at MU. i don’t think he’ll be inviting me to the emmys anytime soon, but i can say i knew him when. 🙂
I’m so jealous! If he ever decides to invite you, and you can bring a friend–you can definitely invite me. Just saying. . . 🙂
That is so cute! I love classic pieces like this.

I am OBSESSED with Modcloth. My friends make fun of me because whenever I have a new dress, they don’t even ask me where I got it. They just say, “Modcloth?” And I say, “DUH.” I check their new arrivals every day as if I’m checking a blog. It’s a sickness.
Love the cut, love the color, love it!
super cute dress! I wish it wasn’t sold out! Dangit!

Such a cute dress! It looks GREAT on you!!
I love modcloth and your blog – thanks for posting & happy Friday! XoXo*S
You look so fancy! n_n
Your dress it’s beautiful!
That is so cute! Dresses with sleeves (longer ones, I mean) are awesome…just hard to find good ones! It looks great on you. :>
Yeah a bright pop of colour! Looks really good on you.
So pretty! What a great cut and color. Excellent find. I’ve coveted a lot of Modcloth pieces but not bought yet either… may have to take another look soon!
That dress is way cute! I love it!
Great Dress, looks good on you, love Mod Cloth and Mad Men!
lovely 🙂

I have a fushia colored 3 quarter length sleeve dress that yours reminded me of! I’ll have to wear it this weekend!
-Amy-
Cuh-uuuute! That color seems like it would look great with some turquoise jewelry! You’ve inspired me to take the plunge and actually order something from ModCloth (instead of just admiring their stuff from afar)
🙂
Love it! I want something like this for my engagement photos!
Very flattering on you! Love it!
What a gorgeous dress, it’s absolutely stunning on you!
I love dresses with pockets. I plan events for alumni in Tennessee and pockets are always a plus for a phone and keys while I’m working. I can’t wait to check out this website. Thanks!
I love your hairstyle and the wave! Can you let us in on the secret and show us a tutorial?
Oh my gosh, you look awesome! That dress makes your waist look extra tiny! Love the Mad Men look too. Can’t wait for Sunday’s premiere!!
Are you SO excited for the Mad Men premiere on Sunday???! I almost can’t stand it. With Hunger games and Mad Men, this weekend is BOUND to be epic! That dress is absolutely adorable on you.
So cute! I used to check Modcloth, but they never have anything in my size, so I’ve stopped torturing myself. Your post inspired me to check back, and I can see that they’ve expanded a bit since I used to check them. Now you can actually search by size, which is a LOT more useful. Thanks for inspiring me to check back!
Such a cute dress! You look great! Following!!
Love! And look at your itty bitty waist.
Now I know why the Wake Co meet up is going to be over at 8:30… priorities! Mad Men!
Love this! Not sure if you read all of your comments (you have SO many!) but I love your blog! I have told tons of friends and fellow bloggers about it. I love your tutorials and have used them to style my hair a lot! I’m right down the road from you in Rocky Mount. Would you ever consider doing a tutorial and styling someone’s hair? I’m curious to see what you would do with someone with natural wave/curl (my type of hair). You have so many great ideas!
I love Mod Cloth. That is a super cute dress. Nice snag!
What a great dress, and you look stunning!

Love pockets in dresses!
Cute dress! You need to check out Shabby Apple, they have great retro looking styles
I LOVE this dress!! I just checked out their web site and I am IN LOVE.. I want so many of their dresses. I love the retro look, I as well love the fashion of the 40s and 50’s.. Now the question is, what kind of shoes?
Love this dress on you and period! Great buy! I have not purchased from ModCloth either but seeing this makes me want to 🙂 You look so cute! As always !
The dress is a lovely fit for you! Like it was made especially for you. The color is divine!
Thanks for the website!!I had never heard of it before so I had to check it out and I love it!! I recently purchased the dress Natural Remedy Dress and its just wonderful. It also has pockets which I so much adore.
So, thanks again!
very cute dress!
