Cheery Colour & A Sleep Coma

Mar 14, 2011

{CARDIGAN: KERSH, DRESS: MODCLOTH, TIGHTS: MODCLOTH, BELT: THRIFTED, SHOES: H&M}

My hubs asked me out on a late lunch date! Aww, so sweet, except that I hadn’t slept most of the night and I was feeling a little loopy. Thankfully, two mini miracles occurred: 1) I got dressed 2) I managed to stay awake at the restaurant ...and that’s all I remember, presumably because I must have slipped into a sleep coma -oops, sorry hubs.

Prior to my sleep deprivation, I picked up these chunky heels at H&M after realizing that I own way too many flats. And I bought this ModCloth dress, which I’m hoping to pair with bright red tights -so fun! Hope you guys had a fabulous weekend and managed to stay awake for it! xx veronika

PS  I would also like to say that I am deeply saddened by the events in Japan, and my prayers are with those that have been affected by this devastating earthquake.

    I love the mix of floral dress with geometric tights. It's not something I would have thought to try, but I'm totally loving it. And I can't tell you how jealous I am of your shoes. If only there were an H&M in Utah! Online shopping can't come soon enough.

    i adore your style so much that no amount of "you look lovely", "what fab layering, you rock!" or even "i think my swoon meter has risen to uncharted levels" could ever compare!!!!!

    your new dress will be wonderful with red tights, but really so versatile any which way you go with it. ♥
