{before we get started, let me apologize for the NOVEL you had to read yesterday. And to the two followers who felt it was so bad that they had to UN-follow me. Whatever THAT’s about….}
And to you who stuck around….
Can I just say that I am IN LOVE with this dress?!?
Serious. Lee.
Only, it’s a smidge too big which breaks my heart, because now I have to ebay this lil baby and buy another one…which will hopefully be jusssst right.
I just must have this dress always until the day I die,
because there are a MILLION ways to wear it.
I have dreams of it without the belt and black boots.
Or a skinny black belt.
Or with jeans.
Or with my OTK boots….
White tights, brown tights, black tights, no tights….
You see?
You want it too, huh?
Well I have a brand new, size medium, only been worn once (for this picture) that’s for sale.
Lol.
Or if you want a real deal brand new one….well guess what???
I’m a mark rep.
Have been for a million years, and I just so happen to have my own mark store.
Ch-ch-check it out here.
Anyway, I am also IN LOVE with this black cardi as well.
{this is also from mark.com}
My sister bought it first and when she came to visit, I tried to wear it in so much so that she wouldn’t want it back.
But, she did.
So, I bought my own.
And I kid you not, I could LIVE in it. It’s incredibly soft and cozy and light, yet warm.
Ahhhhh……don’t you just love finding pieces that you know you could Lit. er. ally. DIE in?
Me too.
Speaking of Literally Dying.
I almost did yesterday.
Of emotions.
Holy Emotional Roller coaster.
And I can’t even blame PMS.
Or Jimmy.
First I woke up grumpy.
Then my baby didn’t nap.
And I HAD PLANS.
Every time I have plans, she doesn’t nap, and then mama doesn’t get to leave the house, AGAIN….
Because a napless baby doesn’t go to Ikea, or the mall, or even Walmart…
Public and a napless baby do not mix.
And then I found out I may not be able to go on my Miami trip because we have no childcare…
And then I cried.
A lot.
And so I did what every good stay at home mom does,
I pulled up the classifieds and looked for a job.
Because I was absolutely convinced that my kids would be way better off in childcare than in close proximity to a mama crying tears into her laundry.
Did I mention I am on hiatus from sugar and gluten this week?
Ya, so that didn’t help either.
Really no point to this other than,
when you make goals for yourself and a new decade….
be prepared to be tested in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.
Good times.

Children are a blessing from God, Children are a blessing from God, Children are a blessing from God…..

    Hope things get better!

  16. The link to your mark store didn’t work. It may have been operator error, though. =^) I want to check it out!

  17. Oh boo, I wanted the dress but I see others have beat me to it! It’s way too cute and I have the rest of the items in your outfit (or similar, at least) so I could be super stalker and we could be twins! May wait and see if it goes on sale at some point and grab it then. You look supa cute, as always! XOXO

  20. This is seriously my favorite outfit of yours EVER! I am so in love with the black leggings/brown boots thang…

    Cooper NEVER naps when I have plans. It’s like he knows somethings up and totally wants to ruin my life. SO sweet, that child.

  21. Forgot to say, I had no idea that Mark sold clothes! I’m gonna head there and do some “browsing”…much to the hubbys dismay!

  22. Love the outfit and I love Mark. Even if they do gear it towards teeny boppers, I still love their stuff.

    And speaking of those two unfollowers- don’t forget our pact, mkay?

  23. i do like that dress!!! my girlfriend orders a lot of stuff from mark as well and i am always like “oooohhh where is THAT from?!?!” mark of course…so fun!

    and oh lady i am sorry you had such a crummy day yesterday! if it is any consolation know that i am right there with you!!! the last two days of mine = the absolute pitts! here is to a better weekend…sanity…and childcare coming through for a miami trip!

  24. I LOVE that dress and outfit.

    And today since Jake and I got only 4 hours of sleep last night for no good reason, he just wouldn’t go to sleep, I am repeating that mantra too.

  25. Girl…ROCK it with your Skinny self! You look Fab! Now, if you could rock the sweatsuit I am wearing today! LOL

  26. Girl…ROCK it with your Skinny self! You look Fab! Now, if you could rock the sweatsuit I am wearing today! LOL

  27. Girl…ROCK it with your Skinny self! You look Fab! Now, if you could rock the sweatsuit I am wearing today! LOL

  28. What a cute outfit- I can’t believe that dress is from Mark Avon- I have bookmark your avon site- Love Mark cosmetics- I was obsessed with Sassy Perfume for a long time- I just love the scent until a family said to me – you smell like a guy- I was like WTF (In my head lol) I love this scent so now when I use it I just lightly spray it. Oh well you can’t please everyone. Have a lovely weekend!

    Kel

  29. Love this look! The dress is so cute and is perfect w/ that belt. Happy weekend, Summer πŸ™‚

  30. Can I have your hair please?! Gosh it’s gorgeous! And you look beautiful! Love this outfit..the boots look awesome with the belted dress! Have a great weekend! xox

  31. you look amazing, as usual! Also, I love to think that every orb in my pictures is my Granny Ollie watching over me πŸ™‚

  32. I KNEW you would kill in that dress! It had “Summer” written all over it, lol. I also loved the white and gold one, from a few months back. Kinda glad I didnt order because now I am way to fat to enjoy it, lol. Great picks!
    Rock that look!
    and fyi I loved your post yesterday. your honesty is so refreshing.

  33. Hook a sista up with the details on the dress. It looks like you sold the one off your body four or five times already so I’ll have to buy my own. And where’d you get the belt? CUTE, CUTE, CUTE

  34. Loving the new blog lay-out, Summer! Very streamlined. Awesome.

    Your dress is nice, and the cardi is ok, but what I really love about that outfit? YOUR BOOTS!!!! I’ve been looking for a pair of cowboy boots JUST LIKE THOSE for months now! Ah! I really want Frye’s, but c’mon, they are just so damn expensive.

    Have a good weekend, and smile mommy, kids are a blessing from God. Whether they nap or not πŸ™‚

  35. Just went to mark. Bookmarked it. Will be purchasing fab.u.lous dress when payday approaches…

    Thank you for knowing that fashion is not shallow but rather NECESSARY!

    xoxo

    Sorry the babe didn’t cooperate with your plans and I hope you get to go to Miami!
