Finding Pretty Dresses with cable & gauge
I have been, or can be if you click on a link and make a purchase, compensated via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value for writing this post. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Whether it is to go to church or out for the night, I love the appeal of a good dress. There is something wonderful about just pulling it over your head, donning a few accessories and then heading out the door. However, I don’t always have an easy time finding pretty dresses that I like for both fit and color. So, I’ll admit to being just a little bit nervous when selecting my preferences for a review of 2 dresses from cable & gauge.
Feelings of excitement were bubbling inside me as I opened the pretty pink box with its contents wrapped with care.
Would I like what was inside or wish I’d chosen differently???
Pretty Dresses with cable & gauge ~ Faux Wrap Dress
The first dress which I just knew I wanted to try is the Faux Wrap Dress in Blue Silver Gray. The company labeled it as a flirty feminine dress features a faux wrap front with wide shoulder straps and a flowing skirt.
I anticipated that the color would look good on me. But it has been a while since I had a dress which ended near the knee, so I was still a little nervous about how it would look. Sliding on the dress, I quickly fell in love. The fit is fantastic and this is definitely one of those pretty dresses which makes you feel pretty.
This is a dress that I’d wear for church, date night, or any other occasion when I want to look nice.
Pretty Dresses with cable & gauge ~Twist Top Dress
The second dress I selected is what I would call ‘stepping out of my homeschooling mom comfort zone.’ When my third born son saw this dress, he remarked that it was just ‘wrong, plain wrong’ and that I should only use it for sleeping and never leave the house in it.
This dress which has my boys running to hide and not admit I’m their mom is the Twist Top Dress in Neutral Tossed Animal. The designers took the popular twist top and made it into a dress.
I think the boys just get a bit embarrassed by the thought that their mom could be anything other than their mom. Walking down the hall like a runway model while wearing it before photos were snapped probably didn’t help.
I adore how this dress fits, especially on top. Seeing how much I love the fit, I am thinking that a few twist tops might be needed for my drawers.
Now, this is not a dress I plan to wear to church unless I had a black blazer on top. However, a night out with my husband or for a special night in…those are the times I’ll be donning this one.
What are some of your favorite outfits to wear for church or occasions when you’d like to dress up a little?
Which of the dresses from cable & gauge line would you want to wear?
It might be out of your comfort zone as you say, but you have never looked prettier. That blue dress is a stunner.
Thanks, Shelley. It is definitely pushing my comfort zone a bit.
Look at you lately turning up the style notch! You look fantastic in both of the dresses. 🙂
These dresses look fabulous, I love the leopard print!
You look stunning in those dresses! The blue dress is my favorite!
The dresses look stunning on your and look like they feel super comfortable too!
Both dresses are beautiful! I really like the way the 2nd one looks on you as well Laura!
You look beautiful!! I think I prefer the black and white dots dress on you ( I think it’s cheetah now that I’ve said that), but they both look really nice and flattering! You know what would look really awesome? The cheetah dress with like a red belt or red shoes! Super cute!
I love the blue dress on you. I am not a dress person but I bought a cute one the beginning of the summer and have ended up wearing it a ton. The right dress does wonders.
Both dresses look beautiful on you… I love how your sons reacted… my kids love when I dress up. HA! They will get used to it… their Mama is beautiful and should flaunt it
I like both dresses on you, but I think you do look sassier in the black and white one. It totally looks like something I would have in my closet too.
You look great! I love that leopard print. Sassy.
You look great in both dresses. Little boys can be so funny. I love the print in the first dress – it’s so pretty
Great dresses! They look really nice on you, and look like they’re really versatile pieces. I bet you could pull off the leopard one at church with a cardigan or sweater over it and black tights for fall.
You look fabulous! Dresses are my favorite thing to wear — I always feel so feminine. These have a great shape!
I had not heard about Cable and Gauge until recently. I really like their stuff. The dresses look great on you, especially the animal print.
Those are such pretty dresses and very flattering. You made some great choices!
You look lovely. I love both of them and they really seem like they fit you well!
PS I have a lot of friends that will LOVE the dress so I shared on my personal Facebook Account https://www.facebook.com/felissa.elfenbein/posts/10152263345958365
You look so happy in the animal print dress! So cute that your son told you that you can’t wear it out of the house. Maybe bargain with him and ask if it would be ok if you wore a little sweater over it if he would go to dinner with you.
I am never an animal print person but I really like the animal print dress.
You look wonderful Laura. Seriously. I LOVE the second dress on you!
Thanks, Stefany. That one makes me feel a little bit sassy.
