Time to get involved!

I have a formal industry event the first week of December.  When trawling through the internet, I found the fabulous shoes, and they were the last ones, and they were my size, and they were on-sale.  So, I ordered them.


When they came, I was so happy, they fit, they were comfortable and even more gorgeous than pictured.  I decided these shoes needed a new frock.  Week after week, boxes came to Christine's house - since the delivery guy is now requiring a signature.  

I would go over and pick up the box in anticipation only to find the dress(es) inside when too big, too weird, too scratchy.  I was losing all hope and decided I could wear the dress I wore last year, but it was long and I preferred a shorter dress because: 

  1. Better to see my shoes
  2. I feel like a munchkin in a long dress.


In the meantime, I moved my shoes from room to room.  I vacuumed in them, did laundry in them and wore them with my pajamas.  Maggie doesn't like them because I am always saying, don't get hair on my shoes and then hopping around because Thatcher can shoot his hair onto you from across the room.

I got a bit more serious about it and started ordering multiple dresses, and finally last Wednesday, Christine text to say a box had arrived.  I went straight over from work and grabbed the box.

I opened the box and tried them on.  I liked all three and instantly knew I was keeping them - one dress was not purchased to go with the shoes and instead was purchased because it's the same color as my eyes.

I could use a bit of an opinion, so here they are...



I really like this dress.  It is super comfortable; the fringe is fun; it has sleeves and even though I normally do not wear red next to my face, I think woohoo, I like this dress, I don't care if it is wearing me.




Now this dress is ridiculous.  First, is it just me or does the lace look rocks?  It also has sleeves; it very comfortable; is ridiculously sexy - that has to be said, and it looks great with my shoes.

Not only did I find these dresses already discounted, but then I got another 20% off.  I had to call because the code wasn't working, but I did and that's why I am keeping both and the other dress - really it is...

  1. This blog spoke to me.....the shoes.....oooohhh my! The red dress is so much fun, you'll probably get arrested making the fringe swing. The rock lace is amazing, you do realize you look taller when you wear it, right? Feeling very sorry for the dogs, but do understand the need to keep fur off the shoes.

  2. Hey Gorgeous...........Look at that figure and The SHOES...the SHOES....I LOVE RED SHOES, and look how beautiful you look in both dresses. So good you kept at it or you would have missed three fabulous frocks.
    Furry Creatures must respect lovely ladies in high-class frocks. Thanks for the great laughs and fun fashion review. The blue one I'd love to see soon. You'll be the Belle of the Ball.
