when in doubt wear red

Happy Wednesday!!! First, let me say thanks for all the sweet birthday wishes for the hubby:) He got quite the kick out of reading them all. We have more birthday celebrating next week because my birthday is Monday.
We had a lovely dinner at his parents house last~it's always nice when I don't have to do the cooking or cleaning. When we got home it was a little bit rushed because today was the kids first day of school!! I needed to confirm bus route info, parcel out school supplies, make sure alarms were set, etc. I basically passed out at 10:30. I'm a night owl and on top of that I'm not a very good sleeper(I only manage to get about 5 hours a night!). I was so tired I didn't even watch Rachel Zoe!
To celebrate the first day of school, I decided to wear my dagmar shirtdress. I knew when I saw it online I was going to buy it. Shirtdress+red+floral= MUST.HAVE! I tried to be patient and wait for it to go on sale. The hubs was so tired of me looking at it and sighing wistfully he told me to buy the darn thing....or at least I think that's what he said. I heard "you might as well..." and I was out the door, keys in hand to my local Anthropologie. Nothing says celebration like a red dress. I may even make some red velvet cupcakes to surprise the kids when they home.

  3. This looks great on you! This may sound silly considering the get-ups you usually see from me, but red always seems too "ooh! Look at me! Look at me!" when I wear it...I own the fewest red pieces than any other color.
    I like it on you, though...

  4. Cindi~Thanks girlie:)

    Gee~I tried to wait for it to go on sale but that didn't work so well:)

    Olivia~ I kind of think of red as a look at me color but I think it just makes me so happy that I'm naturally attracted to things that are red. I was surprised when going through my closet how much red is in there. Maybe I'm just a secret attention junkie:O

  7. Wow Courtnee, this is the first time I've been wowed by this dress on someone. It looks splendid on you, just perfect! The fit seems great, which is so sad for me since when I tried it on it did nothing for me, and just like you I was so estatic to see a shirtdress+florals+red.....alas, I'll just admire you from afar!!
