{Day 262}

August 27, 2012

Putting this on I felt like I should be strolling down a street in some warm weather destination. Think Brazil or something. I love the juicy watermelon color and I borrowed these fabulous earrings from my sweet mom. I wasn’t exactly sure what I should do with such a stand out color so I grounded the look with simple leather shoes and belt. Of course you can’t see that these shoes are high wedges because they are disappearing into our brown grass…ahem. Just adding a touch of real life here. 😉 At least the dress has pockets. It somehow makes me feel like Christmas has arrived when I find a great dress with pockets. Ladies how would you have styled this dress?

Anyways it’s a random quote day! 🙂

If you board the wrong train it is no use running along the corridor in the opposite direction. ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer

The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be LIVED- not always looked forward to as though the “real” living were around the next corner. ~Elisabeth Elliot

If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough. ~Albert Einstein

  The Bonhoeffer one is my favorite of these… 🙂
  Thank you! Got this dress for free. It was a reject from a clothing exchange. 🙂

Where did you get that dress? I could just eat that color texture up! I would have put a like gray or silver neck scarf on, with silver earrings. Pink toenail polish, silver and pink bangles, and maybe silver flip flops or flats. Great outfit, and great quotes. I keep of a list of all the awesome quotes I read on here.

  Well no one wanted this dress at a clothing exchange so since it was left over I got it. 🙂 I too think the color is yummy. 😉
  Aww that makes me happy that you record the quotes….hope I don’t do any repeats by accident!

You remind me soooo much of Anna Popplewell who plays Susan Pevensie in the Chronicles of Narnia, in the first pic! Seriously girl. 🙂

And I LOOOOVE dresses/skirts with pockets.

Love,

Bring this number when you come visit us. I see us hitting Brisbane city on warm summer days, sipping ice tea’s and trawling through art galleries and vintage boutiques.

Just a little bit posh.

P.S I might even dare you to pair this with some crazy, tie up canary yellow wedges…I’ll get around to designing my own line soon enough–fear not. 😉

  Ok! But in reality…I want to steal all your clothes when I come!
  Gah do you have to make me want to come even more than I already do?! Stop tempting me!
  
  You used the word trawling…another reason why I love you.
  
  Perfect! You design them and I’ll wear them. When we go out we can be pulchritudinous together. 😉
