I wore this dress a few months ago for a day time family outing while I was in Charlotte. I’m just now sharing it because technical issues are the root of all delays. We went to Freedom Park to take outfit photos, and then hung out around the Elizabeth area for lunch. It was really nice to see how much my home town has grown since I’ve been back.  It was a little surreal to feel a wee bit like a tourist at different points during the visit. This dress was perfect for the weather at the time. Though in all fairness I think it could be perfect for pretty much any weather. Just add a blazer, or coat depending on what time of the year it is.  I bought this dress coral and floral dress online, but I’m always a little hesitant to buy clothes online because I can’t tell how the quality of the fabric, or if it’s going to fit from looking at a picture. This dress was definitely a gamble. I ended up having to have it altered because it fit a little wonky, and ran really big. I’m wearing a medium, but it fit more like a large when I bought it. Thankfully my alterations lady worked with me on nipping it in here and there. So when it was all said, and done this dress fit more like a small now. I’m excited to wear this with booties very soon!!

Over the weekend we did a little home decor shopping. We found a dining room rug!! Woo hoo!! I’m a little excited because all the little pieces are slowly coming together. We moved into our house on Christmas Eve, and have been slowly putting our mark on it. We’ve been taking our time collecting just the right pieces for it. The only room that we knew had to be finished was my sons room. Which in reality technically didn’t have to be since he was in his basinet for about 3 months, but really can you argue with a pregnant women when she has a vision? Hope you all had a great weekend!!!

This type of outfit is one of the ways I like to dress when fall is almost here, but doesn’t quite feel like it yet. I also love almost any outfit that includes booties!! I’m guessing you aren’t too shocked. I bought the cutest booties during the Nordstrom Labor Day sale. They weren’t actually on sale, but when I was at Nordstrom’s over the weekend the shoe department reiterated what I already knew. My shoe size goes fast, and the booties I wanted normally go fast. So I totally ordered them since my local Nordstrom doesn’t carry Jeffry Campbell shoes. (I hope you can hear the sad sigh in my voice.) By the way I have good news!! I am back in my pre pregnancy skinny jeans!! Woo hoo!!! I love small victories!!

This was the perfect outfit for running errands!! It feels effortless, put together, chic, and low maintenance all at the same time.  These boot cut jeans are one of my all time favorites. I love Citizens of Humanity denim in general. So I was happy to put these on. My husband was such a good sport taking my outfit pics before we started our day. He kept making me laugh so hard when we were taking photos though. Some of the pictures were hilarious!!  So I had to share a few of me laughing so hard. He was a hoot!! I love when errands include a trip to Nordstrom’s!! We lucked out, and they were having their one year anniversary!!! Woo hoo!!!  We were treated to a candy bar (yum!!) and mimosas!! I was a happy girl.

Happy Monday!!!
