This dress was fabulous...purple & orange fabulousness. It was a good fit & length on me, but definitely runs big as the 24 was perfect, had it come in my typical size, 28, it would have been huge & sloppy. The colors are what really makes this dress a standout for me...it's a grandma's couch kind of fabric & that is always a good thing in my world. The negatives: it has an excessive amount of panels which cut up the flow of the pattern & the material is a light sweater knit that easily pills. But, so pretty!
We had to take these photos inside the main library because it was sooo cold & sooo windy on this day...but not even close to the -28 we got the following week.
These Doc Marten boots are purple with a gold brocade pattern...difficult to see inside, even close up. I found them for $50 on sale at ModCloth years ago & I adore them.
Occasionally, I like to search for vintage jewelry on eBay with a specific theme, such as acorn necklace. It was during one of those times that I became aware of the spectacular jewelry made by Heidi Daus...she apparently sells her stuff on HSN, but I won't hold that against her as it is gorgeous & well made.
My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Delinquent & Voodoo; UD eyeshadow in Baja, Accelerate, Stranded, & Guilt Trip; Heat lipstick by UD; & OPI nail polish in Deutsch You Want Me Baby?
I first wore this dress to work & run around town with David. The highlight of the day was poking around Z. Bella...the owner, Zoe, has a grandma who collects costume jewelry & fixes it up...& she had a bunch of it for sale.
Penzeys pickings...the best thing about this presidency has been all the great deals Penzeys has been having. Also, David finally found the knife of his dreams.
My Z. Bella booty...
The second time I wore this dress was to spend Girlie Birthday Eve with the almost birthday girlie, Kate. First, we had Indonesian food at Bandung...
Then we went to a barnyard wine tasting at Square, which I opted out of (not my thing)...& the lovely Andrea poured me a nice glass of bubbly from the lineup that didn't taste like anything found in a horse stable & I was very happy.
And, finally...the big event of the evening...Charlie Parr at High Noon. He's amazing live every single time & I enjoy shows there so much more when seated in the balcony. So. Many. People. But I love spending time with my girlie.
