There were a few days a couple weeks ago where the sunshine and the lure of summer and exposed skin made me lose my head entirely and actually order it. Also, I’m also a sucker for anything linen. The formal excuse was that I needed a little black dress (a true statement), but unofficially I’ve always had a hankering for something that would show off all or most of my tattoos at once.
Unfortunately(/fortunately) the sex appeal in person is nearly overwhelming. The front is a short but otherwise fairly modest shift, but the sides and back… well, see for yourself. Ultimately, I realized that while I wanted some sex appeal, I wanted at least a slight amount of subtly to come along with it.
In the end, I had to be realistic. There’s no occasion in my life that would even somewhat warrant a super short, backless, sideless, black linen dress. …But maybe someday there will be the PERFECT occasion and then I will deeply regret not having this exact dress!!!… sadly, under this pretense my closet is already full of dresses and outfits I will mostly likely never wear. I need to become less of a hoarder. Away with you slut surprise! Back from whence you came!
