It feels like years since I've worn a Lands' End dress...this one comes from a RAK in the Girls of GB group & this is my first time wearing it. This bright magenta color is gorgeous & I think this is the only garment I own in this shade. I wish I had a dozen dresses in this style in crazy prints...it was so comfortable & the cut (including the placement of the waistband) was wonderful. 

Years ago, GB used to carry a lot of Lands' End dresses in the summer...they were a go-to staple for me. I still have half a dozen of them...I guess I don't reach for LE as often because Effie's Heart now fills that category of easy effortless summer dresses for me...in cuter quirkier prints.

 I thought the green looked rather nice with the Fuchsia...

My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Mildew; Anthem, Swoon, Lemmy, & Vinyl eyeshadow from Kat von D; UD lipstick in Big Bang, Firebird, & Speedball; & Greenwich Green nail polish by OPI. 

I wore this dress on a nearly 100° day with 90+% humidity to go to a friend's birthday party...where I took practically no photos. I never did understand what this game was that Toby & David were playing. 

The rest of that weekend I spent in our air conditioned house hanging stuff up in our new closet! Some in progress pictures of the closet being built...& a little section of colorful dresses hung up. I am so excited to have a place to hang every piece of clothing I own! I will do a whole post just on the closet when I finally get finished setting it up.
