Horse Print Fit and Flare Dress

Hello and happy almost-Friday!  If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you already know that I recently returned from an unforgettable ten day vacation in Spain!  We were part of a large group of friends who traveled to Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls, then enjoyed five days in Barcelona .  In addition, six of us took the train up to Girona for the amazing opportunity to eat at El Celler de Can Roca, the #2 ranked restaurant in the world.  I cannot wait to share each of these parts of our trip with you here very soon--after I sort through the thousands of photos from our group.  Today, however, I want to share a new favorite dress that I picked up at the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale last month.  I was fortunate to grow up with horses, so it was no surprise that I fell in love with this black and white horse print French Connection dress while browsing the Half-Yearly Sale online.  The subtle graphic print is perfect (I love that you can't tell what the print is until you get close), and the fit and flare shape is always so flattering.  There are still a few sizes left online at 40% off--be sure to check out the link below.  For today's outfit, I added red suede pumps, a red belt, and red lipstick for a nice pop of color.  White, black, and red are always a good combo in my book and this outfit is perfect for a day at the office, a dinner date, and more.
