going long

[easyrotator]erc_46_1365002446[/easyrotator]

For poolside barbecue while visiting friends in their high-rise condo, opted for going long. Skin was a little sensitive from too much time at the beach so couldn’t even consider tight jeans, haha. Dress from last year was super comfortable, styled it by borrowing fourth daughter’s cross body bag in light pink and new Chanel sneakers, to give it kind of a modern kick.

Love the simplicity of a dress, and love love when it’s long and comfortable. Love that it exposes a little skin and keeps a little to the imagination. Love too that the extra length also helps cover some of the wear and tear the legs have taken while having such a good time all these years. 🙂 Again, this one packs well and you simply need to take it out of your bag and go. Total win win.

Dear friend can certainly do short shorts and fitted tee, she’s got the body and being super fit is her profession.

If you too think you might like the idea of going long, two great options are coming up at Summer 2013 Trunk Show. Included for you are images of models by profession in the red and chocolate. Can’t wait for Summer Trunk Show? Email me here, happy to help you get every day dressed.

When something works, consider multiples. Happy almost birthday, soon to be twenty-three year old twins. Really feel like I willed those two, loved being a mom so much.

Birthday wishes aside, dress, this time in sunshine yellow, same one as seen before in black, finally worn as dress.

This was the perfect thing to put on for church with flat sandals while in a resort area. Had I been citywide would have definitely worn the heels. Flat sandals made it super easy to beat the parking crunch, pulled in about 1/4 mile from the church and simply walked, fast.

Wore it to make and serve plated eggs Benedict for the family, there were only eight of us, that dish is not really meant to be served buffet, and for the egg hunt.

Slipped it off for afternoon activities, slipped it back on for dinner with more family, thank you Kate, John, and kids.

This dress, for sure, is an every day dress. Looked like nothing on the hanger, knew it had super potential. Packs well, no wrinkles, no ironing, simply take it out of the luggage and wear. Bought it in multiples, black and sunshine, and can wear it in multiple ways, dress as coat, dress as dress.

Every day dress finally wears dress as dress.

Hope everyone out there had a really great Monday and wishing you an even better Tuesday.
