In love...orange & black & pattern mixing?! This maxi was made for me. It was a good fit, but a touch big...the straps were adjustable & the elastic in back would have made a great shape had I gone a size down. I think the cardigan hid that well. 

Better with the cardigan...but here it is without...
How could I not adore a dress that pairs so well with my favorite color, leopard?
My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Perversion, Stila liquid liner in Intense Black, NYX Phoenix eyeshadow palette, Pumpkin lipliner from NYX, Toast lipstick from Bite Beauty, Sugarpill Cosmetics lipstick in Treat, & OPI nail polish in A Woman's Prague-ative. 
Not my Clockwork Orange face...I just marvel at the length of my lashes every time I put on mascara. Grand Lash MD. Cutting up market veggies for David to grill for our APT picnic. I love how every time we selfie, he kisses me. 
We brought grilled veggies & shrimp with a Thai peanut sauce for dinner. 
Unplanned coordination of our autumn palette. 
Kate & Jason...caught in the act of being cute. 
Kate & Jason brought sparkling wine, tofu, & raspberries. After our picnic, Kate showed us this longer trail up the hill, but as it was already dark...David & I took it the next day instead...which I previously posted. Bundled up in one of my vintage lambswool coats. 
A Raisin In The Sun was marvelous...& the acting was outstanding. The plays were fantastic this year, but this shot into 1st place for us. 
Beautiful night. Wonderful company.
The second time I wore this dress was for a jam packed Saturday. We began by going to this woman's biannual shoe sale...where I found 4 pairs of shoes & David found some pants. These aren't my favorite Fluevogs...but they are fun colors & it's nice to have comfy slip-on shoes to wear on errands.  
Then...on to our final ballroom dancing group class & private lesson. I mean, not forever...but this was my last weekend before surgery, so I have to take a bit of a break. 
Here we are learning the Cha Cha...

Back at home...salad making time...Kale Salad with Honeynut Squash, Pomegranate, & Pumpkin Seeds. It wasn't quite pomegranate season yet, so I had to use frozen...not nearly as good. A sunny afternoon for Wasted: Fall Reds. Tart crabapples David picked off Lindsay & Patrick's tree. Cute couple. 
Oh, look...another cute couple...with fun shoes!
Drinking delicious reds.
I need a selection of cute autumn & winter hats...but until then, here I am using my summer bonnet to protect me from the sun. 
After much drinking of wine...dinner at Ahan. 
Yum. David & Jason joined us for dinner, then Kate & I stayed for the show at Bur Oak. 
I love that these two phenomenal places share a space. 
Peter Mulvey & SistaStrings...our 3rd time seeing the sisters. Marvelous show with my girlie & a fabulous end to a wonderful long day.
