dress week: day 3

handmade (by me) dress
cl by laundry wedges   ·   target belt

it has been really fun co-hosting a dresses theme week with andi of just another smith this week!  i hope you guys have enjoyed joining us as well or have been inspired to pull on a dress this week.  sometimes dresses stump me because it seems like they should be trickier than they really area - right?  i mean, it's just one piece of fabric that you should essentially just pull on and go.  i tend to ignore that and layer like a crazy woman, but i decided to keep it simple today and just wear this dress as it is.  can you believe that i made this dress (with my mom's help of course)?!  it wasn't the easiest to make and i'll probably never be able to coerce my mom to help me make another one from the same pattern, but that just makes me love and appreciate this dress all the more.  i think it's kind of perfect for me and i was so glad i had a reason to wear it this week!

get the look:  similar dress / exact wedges / similar belt

march 25-26th {combo}

just popping in quickly to say hello and to show what i have been wearing this week... dresses & blazers.  i guess i've needed an easy combination to fall back on.  now i must go and decide whether or not i want to take advantage of the buy one, get one 50% off shoe deal going on at target.com.  i've ordered two skirts this month, both of which haven't fit (so frustrating!), but at least i know i can't get my shoe size wrong!  have a great week!

friday {dressy}

dressy / if there were ever a day to wear a dress you made yourself (!) it should be on a friday!  happy weekend - i hope to get caught up with your blogs this weekend {is there a limit of how many posts google reader will hold?  i hope not!} and get back into my normal routine next week.  
here's a picture of what the dress itself looks like and how i would wear it without a blazer/cardigan.  can you believe i made this?!  okay, i had my mom's help, of course.  it's simplicity 2444 if anyone is interested!
