South Moon Under Dresses
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011 | 64 Comments 
I mentioned shopping at South Moon Under the other day. In recent weeks I’ve gotten two dresses from there. 
The first is a border or striped dress with a twist. 
[DV by Dolce Vita] Tan velvety pockets!! I’ve wanted a border onepiece for some time now. A la LOWRYS FARM inspired. But I never LOVED any I tried. Something was missing for me. They looked too boring or shaped me poorly. But when I saw this one I fell in love!
It’s a good thin summer knit material but could be layered for winter too. 
The pockets are not only different in color but texture too! Soft and velvety on the outside with a cool satin finish on the inside. Cap sleeves are a nice change from the usual tank silhouettes found on most summer border dresses. 
I dunno. Every time I see myself in this dress I feel really happy 
. It’s perfect. It’s probably my favorite item right now. 
And here is the black lace dress from last weekend! [Gracia] I wore it with a black blazer, black oxford heels, and black opaque tights with a bright red bow on 1 ankle. 
This would look like funeral attire if it weren’t DC where black isn’t just a color, it’s often a requirement. This dress is sweet with the lace and asymmetrical hem but also it sorta has a cool vibe since it’s black. 
It’s so difficult to photograph pitch black details… 
It’s funny. Some time ago I was looking at my dresses (pre-closet-overhaul) and thought “I don’t wear dresses like I used to.” There was a time where I hated wearing pants and wore dresses/skirts only. I couldn’t GET ENOUGH of dresses. Then it changed and I hardly ever wore dresses. 
Lately I think I’m at an even balance. I wear dresses/skirts as much as I wear pants/shorts.
There was no real point to that except that I find it interesting I’ve been buying dresses again lately.
Like my Pixie Market Blush Pink Dress….
Ok~~ I think I have enough new dresses. 
No more big shopping for a while or else I won’t have even enough time to wear it all. Plus I still have old stuff to share hahahaa~~ Actually I bought that border dress a month ago now? Wow, times flies so quickly.

You are seriously STYLING ♥ I love the shirt version of that DV dress~ the dress is so you though! Lovesss~
Funnily enough these two are listed as tunics but even in XS I’m so short they’re 100% dress length on me hahahaaa!
Very cute dresses! I love the all black outfit too
Thanks Dena xDDD
gurl, I am seriously in love with your closet haha
i love your tights with cute ribbon
also the black outfit !
Thank you! Me too, I wear them SO SO much! They’re from S-Leg
I love the black one! Nice shoes and S-leg! kya
S-leeeeeeeeeeg forever \
/ I love these tights~ They’re good for the office but still a touch of cute!
That border dress is so cute! I’ll have to go shopping this weekend and see if they have anything like it in the stores in Tokyo! I hope so!
I’m almost positive you can xDD many more choices near you! So lucky xD
Wow!!! Great dresses, love them!! *.*
Sometimes I wish I could take a tour in your closet
~
Awe thank you~ right now my closet is confused and summer & winter are all mixed together, it’s an OCD nightmare haahaa
Yay! I can see the Lowrys Farm in the border dress
The all-black outfit is very cool too~
Thanks! Ah yeah, mostly border = LOWRYS FARM to me immediately though I know it’s definitely far from being exclusive to that brand hahahaa
i really liked the first dress
t’anks
Omg there’s those sandals again….makes your legs look so fantastiiiic! LOL ANd I REALLY love the second coordinate. So cute :3
Awe thank you! Yeah they’re a really tall heel so my legs are like in constant Barbi-mode LOL
Oh my goodness! I really really really want that first dress! Except I am not in the greatest shape of my life and probably won’t be able to pull it off as wonderfully as you did!
Awe it’s a nice straight cut so pretty flattering I think, though I used to run away from border when I was not in shape :(
that black lace dress is to DIE for!! i really loveee and gravitate towards dresses like that and i love your outfit for it, too.
the border dress is gorgeous as well, really simple and understated but lovely nonetheless.
Thank you! Yeah, I think these two dresses definitely aren’t in the “same family” but both nice for different looks!
I tend to wear pants/shorts but I’m trying to wear more dresses for summer. I’m really small so it’s often hard for me to find ones that not only fit me but don’t make me look even more younger for my age xP but in love your border dress! I’m crazy about stripes at the moment
This border style is super easy to find these past few summers too! H&M has some really affordable versions
Nice to just throw on when heading out!
I looove the black dress so much! Recently i’ve started to love wearing dresses only because it’s the ultimate lazy person’s clothing. Instead of worrying about my coord I just throw on a dress and a cardi and voila, instant coord! The shortcuts I like to take in life just for 5 minutes of extra sleep
.
YUUUUUUUUUSH THIS EXACTLY LOLOL! Just pair with shoes & done!
Totally in love with your style!
Why thank you :3
very cute dresses you have there
Thanks
Both dresses look soo cute! I completely adore the black lace dress
Thank you so much!
Very cute outfits Jenny! I love the black lace one so much!
\
/ thank you :3
love the border dress with those wedges! (and secretly envy your slim legs *_* I am skinny every where except my legs T^T) and the all black outfit is so cool.
i think black and border patterns are timeless, you can wear it in 5 years and still be stylish. so those were very nice choices of you! i know you are trying to make that sort of functional wardrobe, right? :3
Awe yeah, I’m skinny leg until my thighs! It’s like a turkey drumstick hahahahaha, It’s why I like the length of the first dress a lot, no worries of unhappy bits showing, haha
Yea, I’m trying to shop smarter, shop for now and the future. Definitely not getting any younger so I need things that can change with me
I really like the black dress! And those shoes are a perfect touch.
Thank you! I think of them as more business-like shoes since I mostly wear them to work now that winter’s over
That all-black outfit looks really classy, not too funeral-ish at all.
You have great legs by the way, way to keep in shape!
Haahaa thanks, I use firming gels, sleeping socks, and do leg massage xDDDDD
Beautiful dresses! I’m glad you could find dress you like so much! I really like the second outfit you made, I always love black outfits so much!
I do too, the DC culture here has really taken over my color loving tastes and replaced it with monotone love xD
Lovely dresses, the first one and the last one are so adorable! I`d love to see a better photo of that blush pink dress, it is so cute! Sadly I couldn`t find it from their online store, I wonder if it is sold out..? :
I’ve worn it a few times but this is an image from the site:

Yeah guess they sold out =Y
Aww so cute! 8>
The first dress is ridiculously cute and matches your personality. I also love the idea that the colors of the pockets match your heels. Very clever
Haahaa I think so too, it looked very ME the moment I saw it!
You make me want to buy everything you post!!!
Incredible! (and dangerous!!)
I’ll stop linking to them & not mention where I get stuff to help? Hahahaahaha I’m sorry xDDDDDD
how do you take pictures with your iphone when it doesn’t seem like you’re holding the phone
i assume it’s iphone because it has the effects and polaroid border. also is this the camera+ app?
Yea it’s the Camera+ app which has a timer setting
You seem so happy Jenny them dresses are tooo cute and too die! arg i love the border one im a sucker for stripes A REAL SUCKER
Haahaa, ditto
I love the outfits!! I just did a MAJOR closet-clean out and the best part (shopping) is yet to come! I cant wait to buy new clothes! Although I love to, I rarely wear dresses for fear of them blowing up on windy days LOL
The black lace dress is adorable!!! I love me some monochromatic black outfits!
I’ve gone a little shopping-crazy lately - want to post some stuff soon
And I know I’m obsessing a bit over shoes right now but i just LOVE the pair in the first picture! Love your dresses to!
I like that beige border dress~ and those oxfords are awesome! I love the thinker heel on them. ^ ^
*_* LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. those pockets really DO make the dress amazing. ah i love little details on clothes like that~ makes them seem unique but not over the top or anything
dresses are always something good to have, i think .. especially if you’re too lazy to pair a top and a bottom together like i am! hahaha
I love all the buys. I was surprised at the border dress though as I didn’t really like it on the hanger but it looks gorgeous on.
The black outfit is also lovely, especially with the little ‘pop’ of red on your ankle.
I’d also like to see more of the blush pink dress. It looks lovely~
The black dress is absolutely gorgeous.
I know what you mean about sometimes never wearing dresses, then the next year you’re wearing them all the time - I do the same thing! I think this year I’m more like you and have combined the two pretty equally.
I love the both dresses and you wear them so well! I’m myself looking for the perfect lacey dress, but no luck just yet! Also looking for a pair of black oxford heels.. Any recomendations on where you could buy a pair?
You always look so stylish and stunning! Much love for your taste in fashion !
Wow I really love that border dress! It’s so simple I would have probably passed it up at a store but I LOVE how it fits! It looks spectacular on! ;D (this is why I love inspo!!) Anyway, yes…I want to become more of a dress person. I love them but they always don’t seem to fit just right…
all the black is stylish especially with those adorable shoes
