Mikah Fashion, the only thing I’d wear to a premiere/party for Going in Style

I received this dress to review. When I accepted it, I had not yet been invited to this party.

With THIS cast I knew I had to look GREAT.

First comes the squeal of excitement…then comes that dark cloud of “WHAT THE HECK AM I GOING TO WEAR?”

This is the rush of emotions you feel when you’re invited to a premiere and a PARTY with Morgan Freeman, Alan Arkin, Michael Caine, Ann Margaret, and Christopher Lloyd. A movie called “Going in Style” really put the pressure ON. I knew that being stylish at this event had to be KEY!

I’ve learned

If I’m invited to this scenario in Los Angeles, I have to go glam (gowns, cocktail dresses, ands lots of ruffles & lace). If I’m invited in New York, it’s more of a classic elegance. Classic elegance is my thing (I struggle with the whole over-dressed L.A. feel…it goes against everything that I believe fashion should be).

I’m not this tall, I’m not this thin – and I’m wearing this one size fits all dress to an important party.

Rumaging through the closet

After spending 10 minutes rummaging through my closet trying to decide what I could not only wear, but what would pack well in my little carry-on it hit me. Mikah Fashions had sent me their Boho Chic dress. A dress made of viscose, a dress I can wash in the hotel room sink and wear again, a dress that I only have to hang in the bathroom to steam the wrinkles from me just shoving it into my suitcase (I should have rolled it) would work perfectly.

Hanging in the hotel bathroom to get the wrinkles out when I shower.

I took a chance

I hadn’t worn the dress before. This would be a FIRST time, and I wasn’t sure that it would give me that casual elegant look that I wanted. Then again, I had a page of instructions to wear the dress more ways than I could have imagined.

Decisions, decisions

Since this dress is

  • One size fits sizes 0 – 16 (I’m a size 12/14)
  • One length (the model wearing the dress is 5’8″, I am 5’1″)
  • Wash & Wear
  • Comfortable
  • Multi-style options to wear (see options chart above)
  • A Tunic
  • A Mini-Dress
  • A Tie Dress (front or back)
  • Casual
  • Dressy
  • Elegant
  • Boho
  • FUN
  • and most of all AFFORDABLE – only $89

I had to make the decision as to how I was going to wear it. Then it hit me. I’d toss on a pair of flats and wear it as a mini. That way I would be comfortable throughout the night (some times you just have to make a shoe decision first).

Rachel helped me decide on the exact length.

This is one of those dresses
That you can have multiples of. It’s easy to wear. It looks great no matter where you wear it, from dinner out with Mr. S or a party with the stars. Plus with so many colors, it’s a great staple in your wardrobe.

At the after-party at La Sirena with Rachel

Of course, I’m heading back to the Mikah Fashion site to see what ELSE I could add to my wardrobe, as I have a lot of travel coming, plus I need a dress for the rehearsal dinner that I’m giving in July.

While you’re shopping

Do NOT miss the Mikah Fashion handbags! The leather looks so soft and supple, that I want to touch them through the website.

Spoleto – doesn’t that leather look soft?
