Pretty dress on a dreary day...it was wetly snowing while taking these photos. You can barely tell here, but the best part of this dress was the halter neckline...showing off the seductive shoulders. The brightly colorful floral print was gorgeous, but I didn't care for the blousy waist area...which the cardigan helped define. Great length & ran true to size. 

Another perfect dress for these floral shoes I picked up for a few dollars at Savers...oh, how I miss that store.

This is my first time wearing this matching necklace & earring from the lovely Wendy...

My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Abyss; Analogue, Legend, & Misfit eyeshadow by Kat von D; NYX lipliner in Orange County; NYX lipstick in 507; Bang lipstick from MAC; & OPI nail polish in I Sea You Wear OPI.

Angie had brought us some pumpkins for our front porch...& we gutted them for the seeds before it was too late...I LOVE freshly roasted pumpkin seeds. My new BookBook for my iPhone finally arrived...this must be my 10th-12th one of these? It always amuses me when someone asks me if it's a bible. We did the BEST act of self care EVER...we hired an amazing woman to clean our house. She is fabulous. A walk with my boo in the neighborhood. You know, because I can walk now. 

Bret Helms playing live to promote the Audra kickstarter for releasing Going To The Theatre on vinyl...which I'm happy to say, was fully funded. A bit of west side farmers' marketing with the girlie. I love the colorful array of cauliflower...I got one of each. 

Carsie & her boys playing live online...right before I got to see them in person. The final farmers' market of the year...outside. 

So many squash...what will Kate decide? My favorites are honey nut & delicata. Thursday night dinner with Angie & Freddie...burgers on the grill, rare; roasted Brussels sprouts; parsnip fries; & kale salad...with a glass of red.

I instantly fell in love with this dress even though I knew Adrianna Papell runs small & doesn't really fit me...I didn't care...I had to wear this dress no matter how obscenely short & tight it was...& oh, it most certainly was. But those colors! I can't really speak to the fit since I could have used a dress two sizes larger...but it made me smile all day. 

I bought this cardigan through GB's Try then Buy ages ago ($18 & I was the first person to get it...back in spring 2015 when GB prices were reasonable)...& I found these shoes for $3 at Savers. 

I wore this retro floral dress on the day we went to our retro house to have a home inspection. There is mosaic *everywhere*...other than that...nothing has been done to this house since it was built in 1956. And we like it that way...because we plan on completely remodeling every room. What I currently like about it: red brick exterior, the layout, the size of the kitchen, all the windows, huge backyard, & that fireplace in the basement is fantastic. We have plans...I'm especially excited about that closet in my office (where David is standing)...it's ~4'x5' & we're going to make it an alcove by getting rid of all the doors...& then I'll put a vintage vanity in that space for all my make-up.

Pizza at Sal's...the last time at their original location...their new place is so much nicer & 6x the size. 

My Sephora sale haul...

The Modern Renaissance palette has gotten the most use so far. 

My make-up with this outfit included...Kat von D eyeshadow in Synth, Misfit, Fran, & Swoon; Urban Decay lipstick in Sheer Anarchy; Russian Roulette lipstick by NYX; & Teal the Cows Come Home nail polish from OPI.
