My Music Video Debut

12/16/13 | Forever 21, music

Yes, that is right – a video appearance. Obviously we’re all on the same page about Chris Brown but my dress made a great appearance in his “Love More” video.  No, I wasn’t in it.  I was too busy attending fashion week when the video was filmed but my dress danced with Chris Brown.  Start watching the video at 2:37 if you do not believe me.

I have to admit, Chris Brown is not my favorite, but I do really like this song and this dress is the perfect going out in NYC dress!  On the website it is described as a fit and flare combo dress featuring waist cutouts. Just to make it clear, I owned this sleeveless BEFORE it danced with Chris.

I tried this dress on Saturday night and had every intension of wearing it to my friend Mary’s birthday. That was until I nearly froze running across the street in a snow storm to get a can of Sugar Free Redbull.  I immediately went back to my apartment and changed. But of course, before I did I took two shots of how I might wear it – hair down with leggings and snow boots or with heels. 
  I did not wear this dress out but instead wore another festive outfit. 
But still,  I was pretty much in a Chris Brown video.

    That dress is super cute and I like it better without the tights. That’s a dress made for showing off the legs!
