Thursday -- Ally

I've had this dress for several years but I think this is the first time I've worn it on here. I *really* think it needs to be about an inch shorter but my sewing skills just aren't there yet. Kasmira and Oh That Girl both have this and it looks so beautiful on them - they've both also hemmed theirs. Tracey has it and the length is perfect on her.

Wrap dress: Target

Belt: NY&Co

Michelle Obama pearls: Walmart

bracelets: Old Navy

Shoes: Stuart Weitzman









The amount of compliments I've received on this outfit today has really surprised me. I think since I strayed from my uniform folks noticed. hahaha

So what do you think? Hem it or no?

This is one of my very favorite dresses. I love the pattern, I love how it fits, I love how I only paid $30 for a designer dress :)

Wrap dress: Max Studio via TJ Maxx

Black lace cami: Old Navy

Belt: NY&Co

Tights: Walmart

Shoes: Steven by Steve Madden

Pearls: gift





S over at Academic Chic wore a top in this same pattern last week and it made me remember my dress. I love how she paired it with purple...I never would have thought of that.

I have a question regarding wrap dresses, ladies: Who the hell can wear these things without a tank under them? Holy crap. If I didn't wear something under mine you'd see my bra and possibly my belly button.

The weather is supposed to be AMAZING this weekend and you can bet there will be some fool who thinks it's summer now. We'll be seeing sundresses, white shoes, and shirts with no sleeves here in Kentuckiana. That's the one thing I dread every year...when the public gets Spring Fever and starts dressing like they're on the beach in 90-degree weather.

I can promise you I won't be going bare-legged or anything of the like because IT IS STILL WINTER. :)

Bag: Brahmin

Hello all!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend! You will please have to excuse the puffy face this morning. We have a cold front that has come through NKY and it has brought every allergy possible to me :)

This dress is by far one of my absolute fav purchases. Leslie has this exact same one. If you have never been to a Cabi party, you must go. They have awesome pieces, great staples!

I am absolutely in LOVE with my bag. Now I it was a very nice present from my family. It is a Brahmin bag and I have to admit it is not the most financially sound purchase, but it's SO PRETTY!

BTW - We are fastly approaching the 4th of July holiday weekend and that means SALES! So keep an eye on your circulars. I know Macy's is having a huge shoe sale this weekend. I unfortunately and am on the job search so I will not be going, but I look forward to seeing if anyone finds any good deals.

Have a wonderful day!

Wednesday- Leslie

Wrap Dress: CAbi

Orange Cami: The Limited

Orange Heels: Schutz

Ok so I almost decided not to even post today because I'm not feeling very cute at all (and I'm ok with that--this isn't some "compliment me and make me feel better post"--we all have our good and bad days). Not at my best today, folks. However, I figure it's only fair to show you the good days and the bad ones both. :-)

First of all, let's start with the good. I'm still in love with my orange heels. But my pointy toe is already getting scuffed up!!! How can I keep it looking good??? I have already had tips put on. Any ideas? I'm thinking it may just go with the territory of wearing pointy toe shoes.

Now onto the not so good... I adore wrap dresses. Love how easy they are, comfortable, cute, fashionable.....and every fashion expert says how they are universally flattering on everyone. I don't think they've ever met me. Don't get me wrong-- I don't think its atrocious by any means--but it certainly doesn't do anything to flatter me like other outfits I don't think. I think it's because I don't have a very defined waist. I am a true "apple" shape I believe. I certainly wont stop wearing this dress as its knit and oh so comfortable--but it certainly wont be a top "go to" outfit when I need something that makes me look my best.

In fact, I have trouble finding dresses that fit me well in general. I have very few in my closet as a result and you have to understand that I LOVE dresses--love the look, the simplicity, how lady-like they are. It's the one item I truly don't have enough of.

Anyone out there have a similar issue? Any ideas on brands, dress styles, etc that may work for me?

And don't fear dear blog readers--tomorrow's outfit is going to be really good. I'm going to make sure it is. And when I tell you why, you'll understand :-) It's the one day of the year you have to look your best.
