This is the jackpot dress that I found when I was in Austin a few weeks ago! If you've been following me for a year or so, you know that I like anything that is ethnic and pretty much channels Diana Ross or Beyonce on stage! This is THE caftan that I've been longing for all my life. It's a vintage 70's caftan and was under $20...priceless to me!
And to clarify...I most certainly did wear this dress to work. Why wouldn't I?!? Oddly enough, even though it fits loosely, I really felt quite sultry in this all day. That just goes to show that your clothes don't always have to be tight. This look is not for the conservative or the faint of heart. I tend to like what I like and then ask questions later:)
Here are just a few of the compliments I got today wearing this outfit.
1. From my gangbanger student: You look pretty Ms. G!
2. From a teacher: You look like a Moroccan Princess:)
3. From a stranger in WalMart: You did good girl, you did good! DO IT!
4. From a certain somebody: I just don't get it:(
5. From the teacher across the hall who still wears Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer Sweaters...*blank stare*
*From Me: I have finally achieved my Diana Ross meets Beyonce' on stage meets Wulona from Good Times moment! Then I twirl, and twirl, and twirl like Diana Ross in Mahogany!!
