Dress: Heritage, $22 {Forever 21}
I just have to say I spent way too long with this dress in the dressing room. I think I tried it on at least five times, and hmmmm’d and haaaaa’d over whether I was too old to wear it. And then I thought, forget it, I like it so too bad if I’m too old. Anyway, my kids are too young to be embarrassed of me yet.
Bon Jovi Tee: Heritage, $18 {Forever 21}
Shorts: American Eagle, $9 {Plato’s Closet Resale}
You can’t see these, but I was wearing them under the dress, because I’m a mom and a wife, and it was the right thing to do. The Duggars would be proud of my modesty. Or maybe not.
Knee Highs: $6, {TJ Maxx}
Boots: Mossimo, $30ish {Target}
Necklaces: Randoms from my thrift stores
Purse: mark, $32 {mark.com}
I’m sure you know this already, but how crazy is it that 8 years ago, was the 9/11?
It started out such an awful day for me, being that I was going through a heart wrenching break up, so when my roommates mom called all frantic and asking me how I was doing, I felt touched and began crying to her all about how much I hurt.
Little did I know that that day was not about me or the loss of a boyfriend, and she was definitely not asking about me and my little boy issues.
I spent the rest of the morning with a friend at breakfast while we just watched the news in a complete state of shock.
Everything changed for me that day. And a year later I went to Ground Zero to volunteer at a local church where they were ministering to the firefighters.
What we did to help, it didn’t begin to touch what they did and were continuing to do.
Not a day should go by that they aren’t being thanked or honored for going above and beyond.
So thank you, once again, thank you.

  1. Too old for that dress? What does that even mean?
    You look great!
    Can’t believe that is a bag from mark.com!

  2. I love the outfit. Glad you picked it out!

  3. I’m sick of this! You are too adorable for your own good. Just stop it. Stop it right now!

  4. Cute dress! Good F21 find 🙂

  5. Very cute and not too old at all! My mom tells me to keep dressing like I do and not to changes just cause I am a mommy! Yay!
    Not sure if I am making it on Fashion Friday today. I am still in my pjs. That would make it fun though, huh?

  6. Heck, if I could fit my body into that dress and look as hot as you and NOT look like a beached whale I’d be wearing it every single day! Well then again, if I had your bod my wardrobe would consist of more than just knee-length shorts (Thank you Jesus for bring these back in style!) and yoga pants. No I don’t know how to do one lick of yoga. But the pants are soooo comfy!

    And yes, thank you to all the heroes from 8 years ago and today.

  7. You don’t look too old to wear that. As long as your legs still look great I think you can wear it and that will probably be for quite a while. I think the outfit is great!!!!

    And yes, those who give their time and lives selflessly should always be thanked and never forgotten.

  8. You look amazing! Love the outfit! Have a great weekend. (:

  9. totally cute outfit!

  10. that outfit is something else. Sorry but it is not my favorite one of yours.
    But I still love you.

  11. You are so freakin’ cute!!! xoxo

  12. The boots are awesome — and so are the bargains! I want to learn to shop — or have a body that allows me to shop anywhere (I am both tall and full-hipped, a bad combination!).

  13. Love the color of the plaid dress. The boots are fantastic!

  14. Fabulous; too, too fabulous! Love your Fashion Fridays. Makes me think outside the box when I get dressed.

    BTW, there’s an award waiting for you over at my site – just look under I’m totally flabbergasted.

    Love your blog.

  15. Laughing about the shorts underneath. I have been known to sit down/ squat in dressing rooms to see if my underwear shows in new pants. Oh the things we have to be concerned about…
