Just a little mid week fashion post…
I am always looking for a way to wear my Louboutins, and this dress just happened to go perfectly with them. Although, to be honest, I mostly wear it with sandals. Because my Baby Lou Lou’s are only for very special occasions. And can I just tell you that I was so sad when the bottoms of my babies got all scratched up the first time I wore them outside? So so sad. Heartbreaking really.
And just for the record, I’m not so much a name brand girl. When it comes to designer, I can take em or leave em. I mean, if it’s a bargain…of course, I’ll happily take em though. Of course. But these shoes….I birthed two babies to get these shoes. Plus, it’s kinda fun to say I have something in common with Oprah. And one of these days when I have my own magazine, and my face is on every months cover, then I can say we have TWO things in common.
One day.
Anyway, I am totally loving these maxi dresses, and if you are on the hunt for them, Ross has massive amounts and for amazing prices. I recently bought two, and while Jimmy doesn’t love how they hide my “figure,” that just happens to be the exact reason I love them. They are so very forgiving. Especially through any mid life crisis-PMS-your child/husband/family/boss is driving you crazy-type eating.
Speaking of which, I have to just say thank you from the very depths of my heart for the sweet and encouraging emails and comments I got from you guys yesterday!!! Even if it was just to say you know what I’m going through, it really meant the world to me, and many of them even brought me to tears. (Not that I wasn’t already close to there…) I am constantly in awe of how we can all as women be worlds apart and yet, with just a little bit of vulnerability and honesty, we are suddenly right there together.
That is exactly why I love writing, why I adore blogging, and why I never ever want to stop.
We just had a moment. Did you feel that?
It was special.
Let’s end here so we can bask in it.

Look at you and your PINK sunnies ♥ Awww…i see scratches. That’s nothing, my heels are thrashed and walked in. Now if i had a pair of those…lets just say i’d ceran wrap those lovies :)-
That outfit is super cute. I would have no where to wear it 🙁
Love the dress and Lou’s. Wish I could pull off a maxi dress. Have tried them on at all different dept. stores. I have no bust so they look like a sheet on me or reveal way too much of nothing. Take care.

you are such a rock star….an adorable rock star at that!
hope you have a great day!!
You are so fashionable, even midweek!! Now to pause and bask in the moment…there, I felt it. :o)
you’re awesome. you look beautiful, and your words are beautiful. i love how you describe the blogging community. so true.
Oh, I’m jealous. I want a pair of Louboutins!
I love the maxi dresses 🙂
You may be able to hide your figure in that dress, but I’d just look pregnant in it. Gorgeous though!
I love it!
and so sad about those babies of yours getting scratched so easily. I’m not a high fashion girl, I’m a snapshot gal but I can relate. I hate it when my camera lens gets dust on it 😉
Love that dres! Youa re one hot mama!
And I love blogging for that reason too. It’s nice to feel loved, eh? =)
loved the moment, thanks!! 🙂
and yes, your outfit rocks… and i’m sure the shoes forgive you! they’re super-cute even with scratched bottoms, kind of gives them the “rebel angel” look, don’tcha think? seriously- they rock. i can say this because i haven’t been able to afford anything but clearance flats and flipflops since baby #1…
sounds like you’re having a better day 🙂
You look gorgeous! Love the dress!
My husband likes these dresses. I can buy as many as he wants and he doesn’t complain. Maybe I will head over to Ross.
You look great!
love the outfit and of course the Lous. I feel your pain about scratching the bottoms…hate it when that happens. but I love wearing them more! happy hump day.
you are too cute for words! your musings AND your pictures. thanks for the maxi dress post this morning to brighten up my dreary august seattle day!
Love the dress! I just bought one from Ross on Monday! May be in your FF! 🙂
I love those dresses but never thought I could wear them thanks to my huge chest and I needed to wear a bra. I love how you pair it with a tank, i’m excited now!
Love love love the dress! I love maxi dresses, though my bf says the same thing about them. So cute!
If you can rock the maxi, I say rock it. I, sadly, cannot. Well, I’ve actually never tried. But I’m afraid my tall, athletic lack-of-curves bod would just get lost in all that flowy fabric… but hot damn they look comfy! And you look cute in it! 🙂
Looooove. BIG Love!
Hello Dahhhhhling!!
Your dress is faublous and your shoes are Sexy and Sassy….I’m lovvvving it!!
Thanks for the heartfelt moment…I too felt it:)
Smooches,
Sassy Chica
You look amazing (as always) and the shoes are KILLER! That being said, I’m still having trouble getting behind the whole maxi dress thing. Yours is one of the better ones I have seen, I’m just still on the fence. Thanks for explaining why you like them, though :). I’ll try to be more open-minded…
Ah, yes. Such a moment. 🙂 I LOVE maxi dresses, but I’m so short! I tried one on at Old Navy that was solid black and it was sooo comfy, but I knew I’d be too lazy to have it hemmed, so I didn’t get it. I may just have to check out Ross, though. I’ve always got to scour their shoe section for hidden treasures. You look SUPER cute, Summer!
Summer, you look marvelous darlink simply marvelous!!
I’m a little behind on my blog reading, and I hope you are feeling better today, and maybe the dress helped, but seriously, you look great!
Love this dress! I need to get me one.
And I love that you were so up lifted.
Love those shoes- they are a great nude!
That outfit just screams summer. Like, the season, not you. Okay, you too. I love it!
I picked up a dress that was SO similar to this just last week..oh my goodness, it looks awesome on you girl!!
New fan of your blog and totally drooling over your hot shoes!! Ha, ha!!
