What I Wore Sunday

 What? We were on time to church today? Ummmmm...no... But, we were so so so so so so SO close it might as well have been on time. I think there needs to be an "On Time"-without kids, and an "On Time"-with kids. Dontcha think?

SOoooooooo, this dress. I am SOooooooo excited about this dress! I was recently introduced to a (dangerously) fabulous shopping site called Modcloth.com. Dangerous, I tell you. Well it just so happened that I plucked up the courage and took the plunge when their Stylish Surprise came around.

What's a Stylish Surprise? Well you pay $15 (which I love) plus shipping (which I hate) and you are guaranteed to receive an item worth $30-$300.

It was seriously like Christmas! I was so nervous wondering what they would send me. Would I like it? Would I get a really expensive item?

And finally, when I opened up the box and saw this I was SO thrilled! I love mustard (the color and the condiment ha!) And I love the sweet, girly style of this dress. And I love that it originally sold for over a $100! Score!
Ta-Dah!

I do love channeling a bit of a vintage vibe!
 For Those Just Interested in the Accessories ;) Also, I'm wearing lipstick! Bright red(ish) lipstick! I never thought I would be a red(ish) lipstick girl...but maybe I am? Whaddya think?

(Either way, can I just say, it makes my teeth look so white..if nothing else I love it just for that ha!)


And I played with Plum toned eyeshadow...

So, bear with me..these next two pictures are blurry...but this dress begs..BEGS...to be twirled. And I just couldn't help myself :)



I highly recommend starting your day off with a good ol' Twirl...it really did make me happy ;)

I love the movement of this dress! However...I must say..this dress is not made for a windy day, or any day with any hint of movement in the air. I may or may not have shown my skivvies when a gust (or flutter) of wind blew by while I was busy with the kids...sigh...

But...I still love the dress ;)

And For Curious Minds Who May Want To Know:
Dress: Modcloth
Necklace: Random shop in Flagstaff, Az
Bracelets: Nordstroms (Jr. Dept...yes, I know...)
Shoes: Mossimo (4$, Goodwill, brand new, score!)

I hope you all have a Fabulous, Twirly, Sunday! Any Amazing Race fans out there? It's finale night! Who are you rooting for? I'm still not sure who I want to win...

Linkin' up with What I Wore SundaySunday FundayLet's Get Social Sunday, Plane Pretty and WWIW!

Until next time, give it a twirl, and Lots of Love!

  15. I love, LOVE this dress! Modcloth you say? It sounds so exciting, I will have to try it out! I love the way you paired it with the aqua colors but the dark pop with the shoes. So very, very cute! And I love your "on time with kids" and "on time without kids concept"! I think it should be a real thing! Haha! You kill me, Abby! :)
