First of all...what was I thinking & why didn't Kate stop me?! I bought this dress back in 2014...it was the first & only dress that I tried by this brand & as it was 100% cotton with no stretch...I got the largest available size, 32...my usual 28 would have been fine...perhaps even a 26 as this dress is huge on me. It was only $15 to keep & I was the first person to get it...at least I didn't buy the black one too! I last wore this in late summer 2014. Look how much more stylish I am now! 
While I enjoyed the bright blue of this dress & was grateful for the cotton on these hot fall days...I'm thinking this can only be worn in cooler months with a cardigan...or kept for when I want to dress up as Lucy for Halloween. 
I couldn't decide between red or yellow accessories...so why not both?
My makeup with this outfit included...NYX Faux Black eyeliner in Oxblood, Dali Ink liner by Kat von D, NYX Ultimate Palette in Warm Neutrals, NYX lipstick in Russian Red, & You Make Me Vroom nail polish from OPI. 
I wore this dress to see The Pines at The Shitty Barn with Angie...but first, pizza! We stopped at Novanta & I had an Alice (house mozzarella, pecorino romano, fontina, onion, basil, & balsamic glaze)...it was my first time there & it was delicious. The Pines were wonderful, as usual...their dreamlike melodies always make me feel joyful melancholy & I leave floating like a ghost.
Driving home...Angie had the best idea EVER...snack adventure! We were craving cheese curds, which led Angie to think of Sujeo's late night menu...we ordered the first three things on the menu to share...& our drinks (beer & a Moscow Mule) came in plastic cups...because late night eaters are...clumsy? drunk? It was all amazing...why haven't I gone back yet?! They have a few housemade soft serve selections each day...I don't remember which one I chose...but Angie had Chai & it was delectable. Best idea EVER. 
The next day...David & I were back in Spring Green to see Three Sisters at APT. This rusty old truck filled with flowers is totally my kind of thing...after years of admiring it...we finally stopped to get a closer look...
Parked in the motel parking lot were dozens of British sports cars...mainly MGs...& just as we were leaving...they pulled out too.

I wore these two dotty dresses on a Sunday in August to brunch & to hang art. I happened to get these 2 dresses at the same time right as they were released & I purchased the blue...because $15 for a brand new dress! They are made of a very thin cheap feeling polyester...the kind that wrinkles when you look at it, but the blue is just such a fun retro color. They were a bit big on me & the armholes were slightly too large, but they were so much fun to wear! I can't imagine these dresses are holding up to all the washings they get from GB. 
The black dress had brunch with the girlie & I at Heritage Tavern. This was our first brunch there & we think we'll stick to dinner as it was not nearly as spectacular as we were expecting. Mmmmm...mimosa...
 The prettiest girlie ever!
After changing into this blue dress in the parking lot of my hair salon...we just couldn't find a spot that wasn't full of sun. 
All the sun is shining on me...but I loved this yellow background! How cute would this dress be with yellow accessories?! 
I wore this blue dress to pick up the art Super Boo & I had framed...& to go to our office to hang it on the walls. These are the prints in my office. All of the art is by Bruce Holwerda
These parades of characters hang in our waiting room...

I am in love with this artist's work!
