A True Wrap Dress - Baby Shower Outfit

I wore this wrap dress last Saturday to a friend's baby shower.  You can't really see in the photo the tie at the side of my waist which has a wonderful slimming effect for my body.  I think nude pumps would have looked better and definitely more spring-like, but the day was a bit chilly.  I needed the boots to keep warm this time, but hopefully soon I'll be able to wear my Cole Haan peep-toe nude pumps with this dress.

I learned a bit about complementary colors in a recent article in Real Simple Magazine - they featured orange and how it goes so well with navy.  I learned they are opposites on the color wheel and that's why they look so good together.  So, I have this orange clutch as my pop of color to complement the navy in the dress.  I think Clinton would be so proud!

    You have most decidely gotten rid of any frumpiness that may have been lurking around your house ... your outfits have been fabulous and the orange clutch is divine.
