Couple of notes! The little pink bag I've had since I was little. I've almost gotten rid of it so many times now, but could never part with it :P The left I wore to go see Harry Potter, and the left I wore around the house and to the store after work today. The tights are definitely my favorite element of the outfit, I was so glad it was cool enough to wear them today! WeLoveColors are the only tights I really buy, to be honest with you. They're so soft and durable and it was so nice to be able to choose from such a large variety of sizes and colors. These ones are a mouth-watering raspberry color (called "Maroon" on their color chart). Plan on seeing their tights here a lot! (And don't miss out on a chance to win some in the giveaway!)
The plum/red dress actually has darling gold buttons with atoms on them! That's why I've been referring to it as the science dress :P My camera is acting up lately, especially with up close shots, so I think I need to read the manual to fix that! It was really matronly too before I had it hemmed and the long sleeves turned into short ones. Like I said before, I hate sewing, so I was happy to swap favors with a neighbor lady! I made her business cards in exchange for the alterations :).
Anyway, a quick post today! I'm working this weekend and I have a mountain of homework, ick. I'm still going to do Fat Love Friday (I've got two wonderful chickies picked out!), but it'll have to be posted tomorrow. Gah, I was never very good with deadlines...
Don't worry about the deadlines..if Friday hasn't happened yet, I've still got a whole weekend ahead of me!
ReplyDeleteI like both dresses too, and your pink purse is very reminiscent of something from the twenties I think - I would love to see the buttons!
I love tights too, yours are precious! We can only wear them in the dead of winter because it is so hot most of the time here.
ReplyDeleteCute pink purse and I love the photo you've done with it. Happy homeworking...:)-
You look very lovely in both outfits! I adore your tights with the floral dress.
ReplyDeleteI love your dresses, esp the blue one :-)

I just wanted to let you know that I nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger Award:)
ReplyDeleteCute florals! I love bags like that with the long straps, great for days wandering around and concerts.
ReplyDeleteI love your ballet slippers! I've been dying to wear my old ones, but sort of unsure... You've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteI love the salties!! I wanna get my gand on them but scared ofy wide feet not being able to fit. How's the width? Is it tight?
