Cardigan: Lane Bryant
Shoes: Born
Necklace, Bracelet, & Earring: Wendy Baker
I wore this most lovely dress on Super Boo's birthday. It was like wearing a watercolor. I felt pretty all day. As soon as I sent this dress back, they retired it. If you are a size 14 or 18, you can own this dress for $32. Sadly, they were sold out of my size by the time I found out. I may have cried. It runs big, I am normally a 26/28 & the 24 fit me perfectly. The fabric is heavy & lays wonderfully. And the gorgeous colors & pattern...better than a bouquet of flowers! 
Super Boo & I went to the Olbrich Conservatory for his birthday, then out to dinner. On his birthday, I make out a list of possibilities for the day, things we could do at home or out in the world, as well as events happening in the community. He picked Olbrich, Samba (for dinner), & an art exhibit called Real/Surreal (we ran out of time & are going to go another day). 
I love spending time with Super Boo. He makes me happy & I am a better person with him in my life. He pushes me to face parts of me I'd rather ignore & I need that in my partner. He is intelligent, funny, kind, loving, supportive, & thoughtful. He is willing to be silly with me, as well as serious. He reads to me. I feel lucky. I like our life together. I feel fortunate that I get to spend my life with this man. Every birthday, every day.

  1. Happy birthday to Super Boo! It looks like you guys had a fun time celebrating. :-)

    And ugh, that's so sad that Gwynnie Bee retired the dress. I'm glad I snatched it up when I did, and I wish you could have gotten one too! It looks so good on you, and I love how you paired it with a colorful floral necklace.

    1. Thank you! I'm glad you have the dress, it looks great on you too! Kate was able to get one in her size. Oh, well...I'll always have these photos to look at if not the dress to wear *smile*.

    1. I know! SO sad.

      My lipstick is by Bite Beauty and is their High Pigment Pencil in Quince. I got it at Sephora during the holidays in a special set, but it is not one of the limited edition colors, so it is still available. I am in LOVE with the Bite pencils.
